Zirconium Coating
Zirconium coating is a type of coating that provides aesthetics and durability in dental treatment. It is generally preferred to imitate the appearance of natural teeth and to achieve a more aesthetic result than metal-supported coatings. Zirconium dental coating has many advantages compared to metal-based coatings:
Advantages of Zirconium Coating
- Aesthetic Appearance : Zirconium coatings offer a similar appearance to natural teeth thanks to their light transmittance. For this reason, they are often preferred for front teeth.
- Durability : With its high durability, zirconium is resistant to chewing forces. It can also be used safely on back teeth.
- Metal-free : Unlike metal-supported coatings, zirconium does not contain metal. This reduces the risk of allergy and does not cause gray reflections on the gums.
- Gum Compatible : It is biologically compatible with the gums and generally does not cause gum problems.
- Natural Color Matching : Can be customized to your tooth color, providing a natural and aesthetic result.
- Thermal Insulation : Zirconium transmits less sensitivity to hot and cold than metal coatings.
Who is it suitable for?
- Those who want to improve the aesthetic appearance of their teeth.
- Individuals with metal allergies.
- Patients who want a coating that is resistant to chewing forces.
Treatment Process
- Preparation (reduction) of teeth.
- Taking dental impressions.
- Preparation of personalized zirconium coating in the laboratory.
- Bonding the prepared veneer to the tooth.
Maintenance of Zirconium Coating
- Daily dental hygiene (brushing and flossing) is important.
- It is recommended to avoid hard foods.
- Regular dental check-ups should be attended.
