What is Zirconium Dental Coating?
One of the most important contributions of the developments in technology to dental procedures is that more durable and aesthetic materials can be used every day. The procedure of coating the tooth surfaces using zirconium, which is among these materials, is called zirconium tooth coating. Zirconium coating is also known as crown or crown.
Zirconium tooth coating provides aesthetic prosthesis treatments in dental treatments thanks to its light transmittance, white color and durability. Therefore, it is often applied. Zirconium dental coating is often used for the restoration of carious teeth and anyone who wants to have whiter teeth and an aesthetic smile can be a candidate for zirconium tooth coating treatment.
Zirconium tooth coating is suitable for use on front and back teeth. While zirconium tooth coating treatment on the front teeth provides an aesthetically beautiful appearance, an effective integrity is created in terms of strength when zirconium tooth coating is applied to the back teeth.
The life of zirconium dental coating can vary between 5 and 15 years depending on the tooth structure and many different factors for each patient. The application of the treatment by expert and experienced dentists in this field, the complete fulfillment of the patient’s oral and dental care routine and the fact that they do not disrupt dentist visits are the factors that prolong the use of zirconium dental coatings.
How is Zirconium Tooth Coating Done?
For the zirconium tooth coating procedure, which offers healthy and aesthetic results, there should be no problems in the patient’s gum health. The first step in a possible gum problem is to carry out the treatment of the gums. After the healing process is completed, aesthetic evaluation is performed.
If the patient’s laughing line is high and needed, the process of leveling the gum lengths is applied. After the necessary corrections are made in the teeth, measurements are taken by using special measurement materials. With the measurements taken, the teeth are cut and the three-dimensional structure of the teeth is transferred to the computer environment using scanners.
Using the system called CAD – CAM, zircon blocks are prepared and the substructures of the teeth are created. After the teeth transferred to zirconium oxide blocks are given their final shape, the baking stage is started. After the baking stage, the process is completed by adding porcelain in the appropriate color determined for the patient on the substructures.
If there is no problem in the mouth after the infrastructure rehearsals, the final arrangements are made and the coated coatings with a polished and smooth surface are fixed on the patient’s teeth. In zirconium tooth coating treatment, the patient does not feel pain or pain because local anesthesia is applied before the teeth are cut and reduced. In addition, during the measurement and oral scanning procedures, the patient does not feel any discomfort.
