What is a zirconium dental crown?
Zirconium dental crown is a modern crowning method produced from zirconium oxide material instead of metal. Since its light transmittance is high, it offers the closest aesthetic appearance to a natural tooth. Unlike metal-supported crowns, it does not create a dark line on the gum.
Advantages of zirconium crown
Natural appearance
Zirconium gives the tooth a natural shine and whiteness thanks to its light-transmitting structure.
Durability
It shows high resistance to chewing forces. It can also be used safely in the back teeth.
Does not contain metal
The risk of allergy is low. It does not leave a metal taste and does not cause discoloration on the gum.
Application process
Zirconium crown goes through the stages of preparing the teeth, taking impressions, and digital design. The crowns prepared in the laboratory are applied to the patient with the approval of the physician.
Who is it suitable for?
It is an ideal solution for people with high aesthetic expectations, metal allergies, or advanced substance loss in their teeth. It is longer lasting in people with no orthodontic problems and good gum health.
Maintenance and service life
Zirconium crowns can be used for an average of 15 years or more. Their life can be extended with regular tooth brushing, flossing, oral irrigation, and dental check-ups.
