Zirconium Dental Veneer Treatment
What is Zirconium Dental Veneer ?
Zirconium dental veneer is one of the most widely used products in the field of dentistry due to its closest to the natural tooth structure and tissue compatibility. The reason why it is more popular than many applications developed to improve the appearance of teeth is its aesthetic posture, natural structure and durability. The types of dental veneers are of two types, with or without metal support. When the concepts of aesthetic appearance and dental health are combined, metal-welded porcelain has been replaced by zirconium alloy, which has a white color. Zirconium coatings are the most preferred coatings both because of their strong structure and robustness, which are used on the back teeth, and because of the aesthetic appearance and light transmission they add to the front teeth. This type of coating reacts to pressurized functions such as chewing and tearing in the same way as our real teeth and is extremely durable. In addition, if attention is paid to oral and dental hygiene, it has the property of being used for many years.

Characteristics of Zirconium Coating
Applications and products that are metal have been used as infrastructure at dentistry and dental aesthetics points for a long time. The use of applications containing metal damages the gums to a certain extent and could not be sufficient to achieve the desired aesthetic appearance of the teeth. These problems we have mentioned have been permanently solved with zirconium dental coating, which gives a new dimension to the aesthetic appearance with dental and gum health. The decrease in the use of metal products in the mouth, instead of choosing a white zirconium alloy, which gives a 100% natural appearance with light transmission, makes a big difference, especially in the front teeth, where the appearance of the teeth is the most important. He is not noticed at all when smiling or talking to other people because of his white appearance.

Zirconium dental coating is heat resistant, transparent, white in color and is also a very ideal type of treatment for patients who are allergic to metal. Hot and cold sensitivity does not occur in this type of treatment. Zirconium minimizes the discoloration caused by smoking, coffee or other eating and drinking habits. It does not cause any taste differences or bad breath in the mouth.

In addition, the high light transmittance does not cause the dark gum color changes experienced in metal coatings. It is inevitable that metal coatings will get a black or purplish color of the gum in places close to the gum. The reason for this is the coating agent used and the light transmittance ratio. For this reason, a matte or blackish appearance never occurs on zirconium teeth. Zirconium teeth, which are specially produced to restore many dental appearance problems, are extremely important in dental health. This is due to the tremendous compatibility of zirconium teeth with the gums, and the likelihood of developing diseases in the gums around coated teeth is quite low compared to other types of metal coatings.

Zirconium Teeth and Their Contribution to Our Quality of Life
The appearance of teeth, which is an indispensable element of oral and facial aesthetics, and the use of teeth that provide this aesthetics for many years have been taken to another level with zirconium dental coating. With the strength it has and the aesthetic image it offers, zirconium ensures that the bad image of our teeth is restored and all appearance concerns are eliminated. The contribution of zirconium dental coating to the convenience and quality of life provided by it is understood much more clearly during the use process. The positive contribution of the changes experienced in the patients' faces and teeth to their lives is very great.

Why is Zirconium Coating Made?
In the field of dentistry, zirconium is a treatment method that is used quite often, with the closest results to the natural tooth and its perfect harmony on the gums. Color change is often preferred by patients for teeth that cannot be achieved by teeth whitening, for the correction of broken or deformed teeth, for teeth that have experienced tissue loss, zirconium coatings are both aesthetically pleasing and for a long time due to their use. The person who can clearly give the life of a zirconium tooth is actually sick again. Because many factors such as oral and dental hygiene, nutrition, dental checks extend the service life of this treatment. As a general rule, there are zirconium tooth coating studies that have exceeded 30 years.

If the patient cares about dental care and brushes his teeth regularly, both natural and zirconium teeth will be preserved, since nutrient residues will not be present in the mouth. Giving up habits such as clenching and grinding teeth, reducing smoking, alcohol and coffee consumption are factors that prolong tooth life. When the patient pays attention to these factors, the life of his teeth will be quite long.

Zirconium Coating Prices
One of the most common questions is the prices of zirconium coating. First of all, it is necessary to know what are the factors that make up the price. There are many different factors such as the dentist's experience, the number of zirconium dental treatments he has done before, the clinic's technology and hygiene, the quality of the products used, and the size of the teeth. Therefore, it is correct to specify the number of teeth to be made and get detailed price information from clinics. Being more costly than other coatings, it is one of the best choices considering its durability, naturalness and service life.

Is There Any Pain During the Coating?
In the treatment of veneered teeth, first of all, the tooth to be applied with zirconium is slightly thinned and the measurement is taken. This Decrement is between 1-2 mm. The measurement taken is studied on the dental model in laboratories. Here, the patient determines the color and model with a specialist doctor. Then the prepared coatings are glued with a special adhesive on the thinning teeth.  Since these thinning and gluing procedures are performed under local anesthesia, the patient does not feel any pain and pain. Hot and cold tooth sensitivity has also not been observed at all. Even if you want to change zirconium teeth after many years, there is never any tissue loss.

In What Cases Is Zirconium Therapy Used?
-It is used in cases where tooth discoloration is excessive for reasons such as antibiotics and fluoride, and therefore whitening operations are insufficient,

-In people whose teeth have been previously broken or cut for some reason,

-Treatment of diastema. (Correction of separated teeth in appearance)

-In patients who have undergone an intraoral metal bridge procedure or have crown coatings,

-In the restoration of fillings that have undergone color change,

-In the treatment of crooked teeth as an alternative to orthodontic treatment,

- Zirconium tooth coating treatment is performed in patients with excessive tooth loss, where filling will not be enough.

How Long Is the Treatment Process?
The tooth coating process is completed in one week in patients who do not have advanced gum recession or any gum problems. In patients with gum problems, this period may vary depending on the healing time of the gums. Before the coating treatment, if any, gum problems are definitely treated.

Are the Coatings Compatible with Implants?
Zirconium Zirconium, which is the raw material of dental coating, overlaps with titanium used in implant dental treatment in a healthy way. The prosthetic coating placed on the implant socket provides extremely compatibility both in terms of gum compatibility and the image it gives.

Why is Zirconium Plating Recommended?
-One of the main reasons for its preference is the intraoral tissue harmony. The longevity sought after in dental treatments and aesthetic appearance is possible with zirconium.

-Its high resistance to impacts, very high fracture threshold and dozens of tests and user processes that prove them reveal the quality of zirconium.

-Since there is no metal structure under it, it also does not reflect metal. In this way, it does not create a matte or blackish image.

-It is extremely successful in thermal insulation. It is known that hot and cold reach the teeth less than other types of veneers. This means that patients should not be restricted in terms of food or drink.
