Zirconium Coating

Zirconium crowns are a modern dental treatment that combines dental aesthetics and durability. Zirconium crowns, which provide results closest to the natural appearance of teeth, are an ideal solution for patients with tooth decay, fractures, or aesthetic concerns. With the expertise of Dentist Duygu Gürleyen, Alanya Dental Clinic offers zirconium crown treatments using the latest technology in a comfortable environment.

What Are Zirconium Crowns?

Zirconium is a white, highly translucent, and durable material. Preferred over traditional metal-supported crowns, zirconium provides a natural appearance due to its metal-free structure. In addition to delivering excellent aesthetic results, zirconium crowns minimize the risk of allergic reactions.

When Are Zirconium Crowns Used?

Zirconium crowns are preferred in many cases to meet aesthetic and functional needs:

• Aesthetic Problems: To improve the appearance of discolored, worn, or misshapen teeth.
• Chipped or Cracked Teeth: To strengthen the structure of damaged teeth.
• Tooth Loss: In cases where a prosthesis needs to be placed on an implant.
• Tooth Decay: For teeth with significant material loss due to decay.
• Bridge Treatment: When a bridge needs to be created to replace missing teeth supported by adjacent teeth.

Zirconium Crown Treatment Process

1. Initial Examination and Planning: Dentist Duygu Gürleyen conducts a detailed evaluation of the patient’s dental structure. The condition of the teeth is analyzed, and a treatment plan is created based on the patient’s aesthetic expectations. 2. Tooth Preparation: The tooth is shaped to make it suitable for the crown. During this stage, the outer layer of the tooth is reduced slightly. 3. Digital Measurement: Precise digital impression devices are used to take molds of the teeth for accurate results. These impressions are sent to a laboratory where the zirconium crowns are manufactured. 4. Temporary Crown: A temporary crown is placed to address aesthetic and functional needs during the treatment process. 5. Placement of the Zirconium Crown: The zirconium crown prepared in the laboratory is adjusted to fit the patient’s tooth and then securely bonded. During this process, the color, shape, and size of the crown are adjusted to harmonize with the patient’s natural teeth. 6. Final Checks and Adjustments: After the crown is placed, its chewing functionality and aesthetic appearance are evaluated. Minor adjustments are made if necessary.

Advantages of Zirconium Crowns

• Natural Appearance: Their light transmittance provides aesthetic results closest to natural teeth.
• Durability: Their high strength ensures years of trouble-free use.
• Allergy-Free: Being metal-free, they pose a very low risk of allergic reactions.
• Color Stability: They do not discolor over time and are resistant to staining.
• Healthy Tissue Compatibility: Their compatibility with gums reduces the risk of gum recession.

Post-Treatment Care for Zirconium Crowns

• Maintain daily oral hygiene; brush teeth regularly and use dental floss.
• Avoid biting hard foods to ensure the longevity of the crowns.
• Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and monitor the condition of the crowns.
• Limit excessive consumption of tea, coffee, and tobacco to prevent staining or damage.
