What is Zirconium Veneer?

In recent years, zirconium crowns are preferred instead of metal-supported teeth due to some advantages. Zirconium veneer, which is used to eliminate problems such as discolouration, image distortion and fracture, is a popular option that has been preferred for a long time to regulate the colour and form of teeth. Zirconium coating provides full harmony with the gums. Patients have an aesthetic smile thanks to zirconium teeth. Zirconium coating is more advantageous than other coating options in terms of light transmittance. Thus, zirconium coating is hardly distinguished from the person's own teeth.

How is Zirconium Veneer Made?

"How is zirconium tooth made?" The question is frequently asked by patients who want to have zirconium teeth. After the dentist informs the patient about the zirconium coating, abrasion is performed on the teeth as much as the place where the zirconium tooth will come, and the thickness required for the zirconium tooth is adjusted. In zirconium tooth treatment, no matter how many teeth are made, measurements are taken from both the lower jaw and the upper jaw. Before the zirconium tooth is inserted, the patient is fitted with a temporary tooth by creating the correct bite record. Then, according to the condition of the teeth, several sessions of zirconium tooth rehearsal are performed and zirconium tooth placement is performed. After the surface of the teeth is cleaned and sterilised, the zirconium coating is bonded.

Zirconium Dental Veneers Features

While zirconium tooth coating gives very natural and aesthetic results, its compatibility with the gums is also very high. With this feature, zirconium coating provides a comfortable performance for the user. In addition, thanks to its smooth surfaces, it can be used for many years without colour loss and yellowing.

Zirconium Veneers

Those who have zirconium coating are very satisfied with the zirconium coating process with its ease of use and natural appearance. Patients with problems such as fracture, yellowing and discolouration in their teeth can achieve the natural appearance they dream of in their teeth with zirconium coating in a few sessions. Patients can also have an aesthetic smile with zirconium teeth. The patient's gums must be healthy for zirconium coating. If the patient who wants to have zirconium teeth has gum problems, the treatment process is expected to end.

Zirconium Tooth Models

It is very important to choose the right model when having a zirconium crown and to create a smile suitable for the patient with the correct zirconium tooth. There are some zirconium tooth models preferred separately for men and women. In men, zirconium coating models under the name Hollywood, aggressive, strong, dominant, mature, softened are generally preferred; while functional, improved, focused, natural, young and oval models are preferred in women. While it is an option for the patient to choose the teeth that suit him/her among the zirconium tooth images, the most suitable one for the natural tooth colour of the person is selected among the zirconium tooth colours.

Zirconium Veneer Prices

Zirconium tooth 2022 prices are among the most curious questions. Since zirconium tooth material requires higher technical infrastructure, zirconium tooth coating prices are more costly than other metal-supported coating types. Zirconium tooth prices vary depending on which construction technique is applied and which block is used when making zirconium teeth. For this reason, there is no clear figure for zirconium tooth price.

The Most Curious Questions About Zirconium Dental Treatment

There are many questions that patients are curious about zirconium dental treatment. The most frequently asked questions can be listed as follows:

  • Is zirconium tooth treatment a painful process?
  • Is there any harm of zirconium coating?
  • Can zirconium veneers be applied to patients with crooked teeth?
  • What is zirconium tooth?
  • How long does zirconium tooth treatment take?
  • Does zirconium tooth cause toothache?
  • What is the price of zirconium veneer?
  • Should I have porcelain or zirconium teeth?
  • What is the difference between porcelain teeth and zirconium teeth?
  • Will the zirconium tooth fall or break after zirconium tooth treatment?
  • Can zirconium crown be applied on the implanted tooth?
  • Does zirconium tooth cause allergy?
  • Will the tooth be damaged by zirconium?
  • Is the zirconium tooth fitted individually?

Zirconium Veneer Advantages

Zirconium coating is very advantageous in terms of both aesthetics and health. It is possible to list these advantages as follows:

  • Since it has an average of around 30% light transmission structure, zirconium tooth provides an image that is fully compatible with the natural tooth structure.
  • Zirconium tooth gives an aesthetic appearance in patients with very short tooth lengths or patients who do not have enough distance in the back areas.
  • Zirconium tooth infrastructure material is white in colour because it does not contain metal. Zirconium tooth does not require opaque material.
  • Zirconium tooth is much more robust and long-lasting than other options in terms of adhesion resistance. Zirconium tooth is an option with high fracture resistance.
  • Zirconium tooth does not have any structure harmful to health.
  • Zirconium tooth provides many advantages to the patient. One of the biggest advantages is that it does not cause allergic effects because it does not contain metal.
  • Zirconium tooth creates an appearance very close to our natural teeth in terms of posture and tooth colour. Zirconium tooth gives an image far from artificiality when viewed from the outside. In addition, zirconium coating does not cause edema in the gums.
  • Zirconium tooth consists of an aesthetic material. Since it does not contain metal, there are no grey reflections on the zirconium tooth.
  • Zirconium tooth can be easily used in both front and back teeth.

Disadvantages of Zirconium Veneers

Since it is a very natural substance, zirconium tooth coating damages are almost negligible. However, besides the advantages of zirconium coating, there are some disadvantages. Zirconium coating disadvantages can be listed as follows:

  • The cost of zirconium coating is high compared to metal-supported porcelain,
  • If the zirconium coating is not done well, it may cause gingival bleeding and recession by disrupting the circulation in the gums,
  • Zirconium is a strong material but it is not flexible. For this reason, zirconium veneers cannot be used in restorations with very long gaps and large bridges. Otherwise, the zirconium crown may break.

Difference Between Zirconium Veneer and Laminated Veneer

The difference between zirconium tooth and laminated tooth is one of the issues that patients are very curious about.

  • The most important difference between zirconium veneers and laminated veneers is that laminates require less tooth cutting. While the tooth is cut all around in zirconium, laminated veneers are applications where only a small amount of cutting from the front face of the tooth is sufficient.
  • The substrate material in the laminate does not give opacity and a more aesthetic appearance is obtained because it is produced by pressing, but zirconium tooth is in a more advantageous position in terms of both lifetime and resistance to forces.

The Difference Between Zirconium Veneer and Metal Veneer

We can list the differences between zirconium coating and metal coating as follows:

  • The cost of zirconium coating is higher than the cost of metal-supported coatings.
  • When the gum recedes, the zirconium tooth maintains its aesthetic appearance, while the metal porcelain creates a bad appearance in the area where it meets the gum. Zirconium coating reflects the tooth with a natural harmony.
  • While the risk of allergy to some metals used is not present in the zirconium coating infrastructure, the risk of allergy is quite high in metal coatings, especially when nickel metal is used. This risk is not in question for zirconium coating.
  • While metal porcelains give a dark colour and the appearance of a cavity in the mouth as if they are not present in some lights such as discotheque, camera, zirconium veneer reacts like a natural tooth. Zirconium tooth passes all kinds of light.
  • While crown and bridge prostheses using zirconium tooth infrastructure create an aesthetic appearance very similar to the natural tooth structure in terms of light transmittance, a dullness and artificiality is seen in metal porcelains, even if they are very well made. For this reason, zirconium crowns are preferred especially for the front teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers to the most common questions about zirconium tooth application are as follows:

Do Zirconium Teeth Yellow?

Patients who will have zirconium veneers are very curious about the answer to the question "Does zirconium tooth yellow?". Thanks to its smooth surface, zirconium teeth are not affected by external factors such as tea, coffee, cigarettes and do not undergo yellowing or discolouration. Zirconium coating colour always remains as applied. However, the logic among patients that "I have zirconium teeth, I don't need to look or brush anymore" is absolutely wrong. Necessary care should be provided for oral and dental health, and controls should be done regularly after zirconium coating.

Which Foods Cannot Be Consumed by People Who Have Zirconium Teeth?

Those who have zirconium teeth should not consume anything for 2 hours. When zirconium teeth are made, careful use is required especially for the first 24 hours to develop adaptation. Patients who have zirconium crowns should prefer slightly softer foods, not very hard, crusted foods during the adaptation process.

Can Zirconium Coating be applied on the Implant?

One of the most frequently asked questions is whether zirconium coating or metal-supported porcelain coating should be applied on the implant. Although this situation varies from person to person, both options give good results as long as they are applied correctly. However, it should be known that the aesthetic purpose in the zirconium coating process is much higher than metal-supported porcelain. Especially in patients with aesthetic concerns and high smile line, zirconium teeth with implants can be made. In some cases, if the distance between the teeth is too much despite the implant application, metal-supported porcelain can be preferred instead of zirconium coating, taking into account the risk that the distance cannot handle the pressure.

If the zirconium crown needs to be removed, will the real tooth underneath be damaged?

In cases where removal is required for zirconium coating, there is no harm with the correct application. Removing individually or in pairs does not harm the zirconium tooth structure or the underlying original teeth, but it is very important that the procedure is performed by a specialist physician.

Is There Pain During or After Zirconium Treatment?

Pain is a defence mechanism of the body. Zirconium crowns may cause pain in some cases. When the zirconium tooth causes pain in the patient, there may be conditions such as fracture, decay related to the underlying tooth or canal treatment may be required. Pain is also possible in teeth without temporary dental coating before zirconium. In addition, if there is hot and cold sensitivity in the tooth under the zirconium tooth after zirconium coating treatment, it should not be worried, it should be known that it will pass within 3-4 weeks.

Do Zirconium Veneers Fall?

Depending on the adhesive used during the zirconium crown or problems occurring in the underlying tooth, the zirconium tooth may fall out, albeit with a low probability. Zirconium tooth is glued on the cut teeth with an adhesive. Sometimes the adhesives used during zirconium coating dissolve and the coating may fall off. In this case, it is necessary to go to the dentist without wasting time and paste it again. Because when more than 3-4 days pass after the zirconium coating falls off, the teeth may move and slip, and the zirconium tooth may not be placed back in place. If the reason for the zirconium coating falling off is a problem such as decay or fracture of the underlying tooth, the zirconium coating process should be redone instead of re-gluing the zirconium tooth.

What is the Lifespan of Zirconium Dental Veneer?

Zirconium veneers are a natural material, but their lifespan is linked to the lifespan of the tooth underneath. At the same time, the lifetime of the zirconium dental crown may also vary with the patient's oral care routine and dietary habits. Zirconium tooth can be used for many years with good workmanship, proper brushing and care provided by the patient after appropriate treatment. Patients should take due care of their teeth after having zirconium crowns and visit the dentist regularly and do not neglect their controls.

Can Zirconium Teeth Be Whitened Again?

Bleaching cannot be applied for zirconium teeth. The process called bleaching is done with some methods applied to the surface of the tooth in order to remove the discolouration in the enamel layer on the teeth. Since these methods are ineffective on zirconium coating, bleaching is not possible. In addition, zirconium tooth has a smooth, slippery surface. For this reason, zirconium coating does not yellow or change colour over time.

Is Zirconium Tooth Veneer Healthy?

Zirconium tooth coating has no harm to oral and dental health. Zirconium material has the status of medical material and is extremely healthy. Since zirconium coating does not contain metal, there is no risk of allergy. Zirconium tooth is one of the best alternatives when there is a need for coating. Zirconium coating gives happy results to the patient both aesthetically and functionally.

Does Zirconium Tooth Veneer Fall?

An adhesive is used when making zirconium teeth. These adhesives used when making zirconium teeth sometimes dissolve and the veneers may fall off. In such a case, you should go to the dentist immediately. Sometimes the zirconium coating may fall off due to decay or fracture of the underlying tooth. In this case, zirconium coating may need to be repeated.

For Which Ages Is Zirconium Tooth Veneer Suitable?

Zirconium crown is suitable for patients of all ages. There is no age limit for zirconium teeth. Zirconium dental treatment can be applied to every patient when necessary. However, we can say that it is beneficial for the patient to have completed the facial jaw development in order to make zirconium teeth.

How Long Does Zirconium Tooth Veneer Treatment Take?

One of the most curious questions of patients who want to have zirconium teeth is "how long does the coating treatment take?". Although the duration of zirconium tooth coating depends on the number of teeth to be made, it takes an average of 1-2 weeks. Especially if the patient's gum health is not in place or bleeding gums are in question, the treatment process is expected for 1 week before starting the zirconium coating process. After the treatment process is over, zirconium dental treatment can be applied to the patient.

What is the Compatibility of Zirconium with Gingiva?

Zirconium tooth material can be safely preferred because it is completely compatible with the gum. Zirconium coating does not damage the surrounding gums and provides full harmony. In addition, zirconium tooth eliminates possible allergic conditions because it does not contain metal. Zirconium tooth can be used easily for many years.

Is Zirconium Tooth Veneer Treatment Painful?

During zirconium tooth coating, some abrasion is made on the tooth. During zirconium coating, the patient only feels the pain of the needle during local anaesthesia. Apart from that, he does not feel any pain during the zirconium coating process.

Can Zirconium Veneers be Applied in People with Gum Disease?

People who want to have zirconium teeth but have gum disease should wait for the healing process after the necessary treatment is applied. Zirconium tooth can be applied to the patient after the gums become healthy.

How to Care for Zirconium Veneers?

Zirconium tooth should be cared for in the same way as other teeth in the mouth. After the zirconium tooth is installed, dental floss should be used. Patients who have zirconium crowns should have routine checks every 6 months.

How Long Can Zirconium Teeth Be Used?

Zirconium tooth can be used for many years. Zirconium tooth, which has a completely natural material that is highly compatible with the gums; It does not cause any problems when it is done by the right hands and the necessary care is provided by the patient. After the zirconium tooth is installed, it can be used easily for many years if routine dental checks are not interrupted.

Does it cause a change in taste or odour in the mouth?

Since there is no metal in the zirconium coating structure, it does not cause taste and odour changes in the mouth. However, if the patient's teeth under the zirconium veneer have caries, if food residue escapes under the veneer, if the chewing surfaces of the zirconium veneer are flat or not suitable for jaw closure and allow food residue to accumulate on the teeth, and if there are problems such as recession and bone resorption in the tooth under the veneer, taste change or odour may occur in the mouth. This situation is very disturbing for patients who have zirconium veneers. In order to diagnose these problems, it is of great importance that dental controls of patients who have zirconium teeth are carried out at regular intervals without interruption.

Is it Applicable for People Allergic to Metal?

If the patient who will have zirconium veneers has a metal allergy, there is no need to worry. There is no metal in the zirconium coating structure. Therefore, people with metal allergies can easily prefer zirconium teeth. Zirconium coating is very suitable for human health.
