ZIRCONIUM DENTAL CROWN
Zirconium dental crowns, frequently preferred by patients in aesthetic dentistry due to their natural and biological compatibility, attract attention as a popular procedure because they eliminate the problems caused by traditional dental crowns.
In Which Cases Is Zirconium Crown Treatment Preferred?
Zirconium is an aesthetic procedure. It is an ideal option in cases where alternative teeth whitening procedures are insufficient and in advanced discoloration problems. It can be used in mildly crooked or spaced teeth, teeth with deteriorated old fillings, and in the posterior teeth group for bridges or crowns. It is also preferred for implant-supported prostheses on front teeth and to support smile aesthetics.
How Should Zirconium Crowns Be Maintained?
The smooth and shiny surface of zirconium crowns prevents plaque accumulation. They are not adversely affected by factors such as tea, coffee, or smoking, and their color remains as white as on the first day. For maintenance, you should brush your teeth daily as you normally do. In addition to daily care recommended by your dentist, dental floss and superfloss can be used for interdental areas and areas without teeth. Regular dental check-ups are important to take precautions against potential problems.
What Are the Advantages of Zirconium Dental Crowns?
• They look almost like natural teeth due to their aesthetic appearance.
• They have no allergic side effects and do not cause a metallic taste in the mouth.
• Zirconium dental crowns have high light conductivity. They do not produce the dark reflections or opaque appearance caused by metal-ceramic crowns.
• They cause very little sensitivity to hot and cold stimuli.
• Zirconium crowns are resistant to maximum biting force.
• Zirconium porcelains offer a very lightweight usage compared to metal-supported prostheses.
• They are friendly to the gums. Problems such as gum recession or discoloration do not occur with zirconium porcelains.
