The covering method that surrounds the tooth all around with the help of zirconium material is called Zirconium Veneer. Zirconium Veneer makes teeth look natural, strengthen and resistant to abrasion. In this article, we will talk about what Zirconium Veneer is and how dental coating is done.

Zirconium Veneer consists of metal frames to support the porcelain and prevent it from breaking  and the porcelain processed in the prosthesis bonded to the tooth, which we call the classical crown bridge.In the crown or bridge prosthesis made with zirconium, a white colored zirconium alloy, which has a very high resistance, is used instead of this metal frame.. The teeth that use zirconium alloy instead of metal are called zirconium teeth. Since the zirconium crown is a very durable alloy, it is also used  as well as the  crown bridges in the anterior and posterior  region. Thanks to its constantly developing technology, it has gained a very wide usage area in recent years.

You can get service from our dentistry in Istanbul for Zirconium Veneer and teeth whitening process.

How is Zirconium Veneer Made?

Zirconium Veneer  covers the entire surface of the tooth like a metal-supported coating. For this reason, first of all, the tooth is reduced to a certain extent under anaesthesia as in classical veneers.

After the preparation is completed, all necessary impression are taken and transferred to the computer system.

According to these impressions transferred to the computer system, block-shaped zirconiums are prepared in 3D machines.

If there is no problem with the zirconium, whose compatibility with the tooth is checked personally , the next stage is porcelain production.

Porcelain is processed on the layer made of zirconium

A rehearsal session is made with porcelain in the mouth, and the preparation for the zirconium-supported porcelain tooth is finished with polish. It can be easily eaten and drunk after it is permanently bonded to the tooth.
