ZIRCONIUM DENTAL COATING

ZIRCONIUM DENTAL COATING

Zirconium, a special substance, is made applicable to the teeth through various processes and applied to the teeth is called zirconium dental coating. Everyone wants their teeth to look white and healthy. Therefore, zirconium dental coating is an aesthetic dental coating method and is suitable for those who want a healthy, white tooth.
Other dental coatings are mostly applied in the form of porcelain coating. Dental crowns are divided into two: metal-supported and metal-free.
Dentists also offer more aesthetic treatment approaches for patients who need a more aesthetic smile.
These aesthetic needs bring about the more frequent use of zirconium, which is a more aesthetic approach, in dental coating.

Zirconium is converted into zirconia ceramic instead of its pure state and goes through special processes to reach its final form that can be used in treatment. Zirconium dental coating is a group of coatings without metal support and creates a more natural and realistic appearance compared to metal-supported coatings.

What are the Advantages of Zirconium Dental Coating?

One of the most important advantages of zirconium dental coatings is that they do not affect the gums. Since it transmits light better than metal-supported coatings, it does not create a dark color on the gums. In addition, it does not cause effects such as black color reflection on the gum edge, which may occur in metal-coated teeth in the future. In addition, people who use zirconium dental coating do not have hot and cold sensitivity. This is also an important advantage. In addition, thanks to the light transmittance of zirconium, the dull appearance that is likely to occur on the teeth disappears. In this way, the appearance closest to the original state of the teeth is achieved and a healthier, more transparent and more natural appearance emerges.

In addition to providing an aesthetic and natural appearance, zirconium coating is also very important for gum health. Because zirconium dental coatings are more compatible with the gums and the possibility of any bleeding or inflammation in the gums around the teeth with zirconium dental coatings is lower than metal-supported dental coatings. Therefore, we can briefly say this about this service: Thanks to the light transmission, the naturalness and healthy appearance of both the gums and tooth structure are preserved. Zirconium dental coating does not cause allergic reactions. It is much stronger than full ceramic coatings and laminated coatings, and has a durability level close to that of metal infrastructure. Therefore, it is extremely comfortable to use. Due to the properties of zirconium material, its thermal conductivity is less than other coatings.

Who Can Get Zirconium Dental Coating?

Zirconium dental coating can be applied to almost everyone who requires a fixed prosthesis. Essentially, it is a suitable treatment for anyone who has completed their tooth development and needs crowns. However, it is also possible to choose other coating methods. Due to the natural structure of zirconium, it is resistant to heat and is the ideal dental treatment for patients who are allergic to metal. Zirconium dental coating transmits light. In addition, it is more durable than metal-coated teeth and is preferred for front teeth due to its natural appearance. Zirconium minimizes stains that may occur due to smoking or other similar reasons and does not cause bad breath. In addition, it does not cause gum problems and does not cause any change in taste in the mouth.

Zirconium dental coating is also used in cases of severe discoloration of teeth. This coloration may be caused by hereditary structure. However, in this case, zirconium dental coating provides a solution. In addition, zirconium dental coating can be used in cases where orthodontic treatment is not preferred. Problems that require orthodontic treatment are separated, slightly crowded or rotated teeth. Apart from these problems, zirconium dental coating is used in old fillings whose color and structure are damaged, as a coating or bridge in the back group of teeth, in implant-supported prostheses in the front group of teeth, and to create smile aesthetics.

Stages of Zirconium Dental Coating Treatment

Various examinations come at the beginning of the treatment stages of zirconium dental coating. These examinations include taking panoramic and periapical x-rays and planning the treatment. Then, if necessary, filling, root canal treatment and gum treatment are applied in line with the tests performed. When ready for zirconium treatment, the teeth are prepared by grinding and composite temporary veneers are applied in the same session. After the temporary coatings are made, measurements are taken and then the laboratory stages are started. Then, zircon infrastructure and dental porcelain are prepared. After all the materials are ready, a porcelain tooth rehearsal is made. How the prosthesis looks and fits in the mouth is checked. If the prosthesis is compatible and suitable, it is glued. The stages of zirconium dental coating are so simple and comfortable.

Zirconium dental coating is performed with local anesthesia. Afterwards, a tooth-colored temporary coating is applied to prevent hot and cold sensitivity. During this treatment process, very few people experience a slight tingling. This is not a long-term pain that will affect social life. Apart from this, the process is generally completed without any problems. Zirconium dental coating treatment is completed in approximately 1 week for people with problem-free gums.
