What is Zirconium Coating?
Zirconium coating is a dental treatment used for aesthetic and functional correction of teeth. It was developed as an alternative to metal-based porcelain veneers and is widely used today.
The advantages of zirconium coating are:
- Natural appearance: Zirconium is a tooth-colored material and provides an appearance very close to natural teeth thanks to its light transmittance.
- Durability: Zirconium is a very strong and durable material. This ensures that it can be used for many years.
- No risk of metal allergy: Zirconium is a metal-free material. Therefore, it is also suitable for people with metal allergies.
- Gum compatibility: Zirconium is a material that is compatible with gums. This reduces the risk of gum problems.
The disadvantages of zirconium coating are:
- Cost: Zirconium veneer may be more expensive than metal-based porcelain veneers.
- Tooth cutting: In order to apply zirconium coating, some tissue must be removed from the teeth.
Zirconium coating can be used in the following cases:
- Discoloration of teeth
- Deformity of teeth
- Size irregularity in teeth
- Gap in teeth
- Broken or worn teeth
- Replacing metal-based porcelain veneer
If you are considering having a zirconium crown, it is important to consult your dentist. Your dentist will evaluate the condition of your teeth and determine whether zirconium coating is suitable for you.
