Zirconium
Zircon teeth are a product of the highest quality ever achieved in terms of aesthetics, durability, tissue compatibility and naturalness, which are the basic requirements of dentistry. This system has all the features we want such as biological compatibility, natural appearance, aesthetics and mechanical resistance. Metal is used as the infrastructure. Instead, zirconium, a white alloy, is used. It does not damage teeth and ensures longer life of teeth.
We safely prefer zirconium-based porcelains because they are aesthetic enough to be used on front teeth and are durable enough to be used on back teeth. These systems increase people’s quality of life.
Advantages
It does not cause gray discoloration at the gum level and looks like a natural tooth.
It does not cause allergic reactions.
It is much stronger than full ceramic coatings and laminated coatings.
It is resistant to breakage, cracking and abrasion.
It has high resistance to corrosion.
It has a light-permeable structure like natural tooth enamel.
It does not contain metal structure.
It adapts to the gums and contributes to gum health.
It has a natural white appearance thanks to its ability to transmit light.
It can be used safely for many years.
Since its heat permeability is low, it does not create hot and cold sensitivity.
Unlike metal-supported coatings, there is no change in taste in the mouth.
Thanks to its compatibility with the gums, it reduces bad breath and does not leave a dark color on the gums.
Color change is very rare compared to natural teeth.
Allergic reactions caused by metal are prevented.
Its surface is shiny and smooth. Therefore, it does not cause plaque accumulation
Most Frequently Asked Questions About Zirconium Dental Treatment
Do zirconium teeth turn yellow?
Zirconium teeth do not turn yellow if they are well cared for. However, teeth that have turned yellow for some reason can be whitened again in a dental clinic environment.
What foods cannot be consumed by people who have zirconium teeth?
People with zirconium teeth can consume any food they want. However, as for individuals with natural teeth, hard-shelled foods, sticky foods and acidic foods should be avoided as much as possible.
Can zirconium coating be applied to the implant?
Zirconium dental coating can be applied to implant-supported prostheses in the anterior region.
If the zirconium coating needs to be removed, will the real tooth underneath be damaged?
Zirconium crowns do not harm the underlying natural tooth because they are cut and removed when they want to be replaced.
Is there any pain during or after zirconium treatment?
During zirconium dental treatment, local anesthesia is applied and then temporary teeth are attached. Therefore, no pain is felt during and after the treatment.
Do zirconium coatings fall off?
Zirconium coatings, which are fixed to the natural tooth with special adhesives, do not move or fall off the tooth.
