Zirconium Veneer

Zirconium veneers are a durable and natural-looking dental veneering method that is widely used in aesthetic dentistry. Since zirconium material is a white ceramic material without metal support, it provides light transmission and gives a very similar appearance to natural teeth. Zirconium coating, which offers a robust structure while improving dental aesthetics, is especially preferred for front teeth and patients with aesthetic concerns.

How is Zirconium Veneer Made?

1. Examination and Planning: The dentist evaluates the patient’s tooth and jaw structure and decides whether a zirconium crown is appropriate.
2. Preparation of the Tooth: Some abrasion of the tooth is required so that the veneer fits the tooth perfectly.
3. Measure Taking: The prepared teeth are measured and sent to the laboratory. Here, zirconium coating is made specially for the patient.
4. Temporary Coating: A temporary coating is applied until the permanent coating is prepared.
5. Placement of the Permanent Veneer: The treatment is completed by bonding the prepared zirconium crown to the tooth.

Advantages of Zirconium Veneers

• Durability: Zirconium is both aesthetically pleasing and durable, and is resistant to breakage and abrasion.
• Biocompatible: Gum-friendly; metal-free and reduces the risk of allergies.
• Light Transmittance: It does not create a dull or artificial appearance as it transmits light like natural teeth.

• Broken or cracked teeth: Those with broken or cracked teeth.
• Shape or Size Distortions: Conditions that require correction in tooth size and shape.
