Zirconiumis a white alloy applied instead of gray metal, which is the infrastructure of classical porcelain bridges and prostheses made by individuals due to the lack of teeth in their mouths. Among the main reasons for the use of Zirconium, apart from aesthetic purposes,
Apart from these, Zirconium is used in split, crooked, turned teeth and old fillings whose structure has been deteriorated due to long-term use. Since zirconium has a light permeable structure, an appearance suitable for the natural structure of the teeth is obtained. As it is known, the enamel of healthy teeth is in a structure that allows light to pass completely. Zirconium veneers allow a more lively and radiant appearance to be obtained, in contrast to the lifeless and artificial appearance created by the metal, which is the substructure of the classical porcelain veneer.

As in metal-supported veneer applications, the tooth is reduced in the first stage. When it is observed that the gingiva is in a healthy condition in the examination performed by the dentist, precise measurements are made by means of special measurements and with spoons suitable for the individual's mouth. In the next stage, laboratory work is carried out, and Zirconium substructure in the most suitable tones for the patient's teeth and the porcelain superstructure are processed on it. After all these processes, adaptation to the tooth is ensured, with the help of special adhesives, the coating is fully seated on the tooth. In the process after the veneer process is terminated, individuals have a healthy tooth structure and an appearance indistinguishable from their natural teeth.
Zirconium coating application is done with local anesthesia so that the patient does not suffer. After the application, a temporary coating suitable for the patient's natural tooth color is used to balance the hot-cold sensitivity. Although a slight tingling is observed during the procedure, the application is terminated without the slightest pain or health problem. Zirconium veneers can be made in the periods following the eruption of permanent teeth. However, it is not recommended for individuals between the ages of 18 and 20 to be in the developmental period and the jaw to grow during these periods is highly probable, since gaps may occur in the teeth.
Zirconium The care of veneers is the same as the care for normal teeth. Physician check-ups, which should be done approximately every six months, are necessary for the detection of problems that may occur. Veneers are removed by cutting in cases where it is required to be removed if the patients prefer it or if the doctor deems it necessary. There is no pain or ache during the removal procedures, and there are no negative effects such as tissue loss in the teeth.
Zirconium crowns are not applied to individuals with gum disease. In order to be able to apply, the treatment of the dental disease in the individual should be done, and after the treatment, the patient should be ready for such an application. Zirconium coating processes are completed in about 1 week in individuals with problem-free gums.
