Zirconia crown

Zirconia crown is a coating process performed on tooth surfaces using zirconium material. It is generally used for the restoration of decayed teeth. However, a zirconia crown is also applied to people who want to have an aesthetic smile and white teeth. It can be used on the front and back teeth.

Patients prefer zirconium because of its advantages. Zirconia crown is easy to shape and can be easily returned to white color. They are the most similar artificial teeth to the main teeth due to their natural appearance. They do not contain metal. They are resistant to hot and cold food and drinks. However, it is not suitable for use in long tooth gaps (when the patient has a large number of missing teeth side by side). The price is high compared to metal-supported veneers.

The zirconia crown is natural looking, very robust, and difficult to break and crack. It has high resistance to corrosion and abrasion. It is resistant to oxidation. Since it is translucent and transmits light, it is the most compatible artificial tooth to the main teeth.

The patient is anesthetized to prevent pain during zirconia crown treatment. The teeth to be treated are reduced in the amount deemed appropriate and impressions are taken. Temporary teeth are glued temporarily instead of the teeth that are reduced by filing.

It is possible to extend the life of the zirconia crown by acting in accordance with the doctor's controls and taking good oral care. People who meet these conditions can use their zirconia crown for a lifetime.
