Zirconium Coating

Smile design is one of the most common oral and dental applications today. It can be done as a dental treatment or even if there is no problem. Zirconium crowns are an application that can be considered within the scope of smile design.

Curiosity about it causes many questions to be investigated. What is zirconium coating, to whom is zirconium dental coating applied, what are the dental coating prices? Here’s what you need to know about zirconium dental coatings.

Zirconium dental coating is the bonding of artificial coatings made of special materials onto natural teeth. Metal-free and metal-supported coatings are used by specialist physicians.
The main purpose of zirconium dental coating is to change the appearance of the existing tooth. Color changes that are particularly disturbing to patients are definitively eliminated. A pure white natural tooth appearance can be achieved with leaf teeth produced with special materials in a laboratory environment.

Among the frequently asked questions about zirconium coating is who can have this application. If the patient constantly complains of discoloration and yellowing of his teeth despite having teeth whitening, he can have veneers. Especially frequent consumption of tea, coffee and cigarettes causes yellowing. In cases where even whitening is insufficient, coating will be the right choice.
People who are not satisfied with the size of their teeth other than whiteness can have veneers. Teeth in a form that is more suitable for the mouth and lip structure can be obtained with this method. Within the scope of digital dental aesthetics, tooth dimensions are created in cooperation with the doctor and the patient. Thanks to these forms, your teeth can be made longer or shorter than they appear.

Although zirconium dental coating is attractive, it is not possible to apply it to every tooth. It is not preferred to apply to patients under the age of 18. Because the teeth and dental bones of individuals at this age have not yet formed. It is not preferable to perform the application before the jaw structures are settled.

If there is decay in the tooth and this decay has spread widely, the coating method will not be correct. First, if possible, the decay must be eliminated and the tooth must be saved. Otherwise, there is a possibility of losing the tooth due to decay. If the tooth falls out, the coating will also disappear. If the decay cannot be treated, the tooth should be extracted and a crown should be applied to the empty area.

Among the applications that are most often confused and compared with each other are zirconium coating and porcelain coating. Porcelain veneer is relatively darker in tone than zirconium dental veneer. Since it does not have a metal support, its shine is far from the appearance of natural teeth.

Zirconium is divided into metal-supported and metal-free. Thanks to its metal support, it does not form a dark color when placed on the teeth. It takes the natural color of the tooth and transmits light. Porcelain veneer is also more fragile because it has no metal support.

Although the lifespan is longer for porcelain veneers, it is lower than zirconium dental veneers. Zirconium coating, on the other hand, has a thicker structure thanks to its supports and alloy. Since it is not fragile, it can be used for 5-15 years. And it is even possible to extend its lifespan.

The process is carried out in the best way by following the Zirconium Coating Stages. The path to be followed by the specialist dentist is drawn in advance. Detailed information about the stages is given to the patient before the procedure. In this way, it is possible to move forward by eliminating the patient’s anxiety, if any.

1. Stage Doctor’s Check: The general oral and dental condition of the patient is examined by the dentist. If there are any operations such as channels or fillings that need to be done before coating, they are indicated. Information is given about how many coatings will be applied to which areas.
2. Taking Measurements: Taking measurements is necessary for the desired appearance after the procedure. Calculation is made according to the tooth structure, based on the opinion of the patient and the doctor. Preparations are made in the laboratory according to the measurements.
3. Placement of Veneers on the Teeth: A different appointment is made after the session where the measurements are taken. Preparations are completed within the scope of this appointment. In the second session, the veneers are applied to the teeth. After applying special adhesives to the teeth, fixation is made with beam.
4. Providing Stage General Controls: The process will not end completely after the zirconium coating. Regular check-ups are necessary to prolong its life and have a healthier oral structure. It is possible to use it for many years with maintenance and controls.

The patient’s mouth and dental structure are important in the procedure to be performed. It is impossible to perform the application in a single session. Because a certain amount of time must be spent in the laboratory to make suitable veneers for the measured teeth.

Thanks to two sessions of application, the coating process on the tooth will be completely completed. Zirconium tooth coating takes an average of two sessions, but it may take three sessions depending on the situation. The measurement process will take a very short time in the first session. The bonding process in the second session will take approximately 40-45 minutes on average.

After zirconium coating, the patient may experience pain and soreness in the mouth on the first day. Local anesthesia is applied during the application. The main goal is to prevent sensitivity to the gums. At the same time, the reaction to foreign matter on the teeth is minimized.
Although you will act carefully, you may feel a certain amount of pain in your teeth after the effect wears off on the first day. There is no need to get negative emotions as a result of this pain. Because it is a very common and normal situation. After the first day, sensitivity will gradually decrease.

Zirconium dental coating is one of the healthiest methods compared to other coatings. The fact that it gives the closest and most natural appearance to the tooth is proof of this point. Compared to other coatings, it does not create an artificial appearance. It is important that it receives light like a tooth, as well as a pure white appearance.

Another effective element is that it can be shaped. Since it can be shaped, it can be moved easily in terms of appearance. Therefore, it is possible to state that it is advantageous compared to porcelain veneer. It does not cause any health problems and does not cause dark color on the gums.

The lifespan of zirconium tooth coating made by a specialist dentist is approximately 5-15 years. An average value can only be determined in this way, depending on the quality of the material. However, with factors such as providing necessary medical check-ups and paying attention to dental hygiene, a lifespan of up to 20 years can be expected.

There are not many situations that patients need to pay attention to before zirconium coating. It will be sufficient to provide general pass checks. Before veneering, it is necessary to solve the necessary fillings, root canal treatments and even gum problems. The doctor states that these treatments should be carried out if he deems them necessary.

There are many more things to consider after zirconium dental coating. It is necessary to avoid hot and cold consumption on the first day after veneering. It is also best to stay away from coffee, tea and acidic drinks that can cause staining. Because acids, no matter how high quality, are strong enough to melt the coating material.

The process will not end with veneering. Being constantly under medical supervision is also a factor that will increase the life of the equipment. It also provides an opportunity to observe your possible gum reactions. Whenever possible, you should follow the schedule given by your dentist and go for check-ups.

Even though there are high-quality and durable coating types, you should not break or consume hard foods on your teeth. You should stay away from hard foods such as hazelnuts, walnuts, seeds and almonds. You should especially try never to break the outer shell of hazelnuts and walnuts with your teeth. Otherwise, you may break your coating.

It would be wrong to limit hard foods to these. Even a chocolate bar that has been stored in the refrigerator will be harmful to your teeth. When you sink your teeth into chocolate and try to bite it, you are likely to damage your teeth. The tooth may come out completely, or it may break and change its appearance.

In general, the satisfaction rate of patients who have veneers is high. The factor that increases satisfaction will undoubtedly be possible by choosing the right dentist. At this stage, it is best for people to be careful when choosing a clinic.
Its contributions to dental health as well as to achieving an aesthetic appearance increase satisfaction. Having teeth done is a factor that increases self-confidence. If patients wish, it can be done without any color change, even just due to sizing and missing teeth.
It can be seen that there are negative comments as well as positive ones. When examined, negative feedback is related to the quality of the materials used or the experience of the dentist. Mehmet Eker and his team continue to work meticulously in order to increase satisfaction.

Partial zirconium coating can be applied to individuals who do not undergo orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment cannot always be applied to crooked and crooked teeth. Depending on the hindering reasons, the patient’s aesthetic concerns will increase. However, different methods are being tried depending on both these concerns and health reasons.

Zirconium dental coating is one of them. It may be possible to eliminate the appearance of crooked teeth with veneers. However, the state of distortion is also important. If there is an intense situation, the tooth may need to be extracted. A straighter tooth structure can be created by applying a zirconium dental coating instead of the extracted tooth.

Unless the materials used for veneers are compatible with the gums and mouth structure, they will cause negative images. The most negative symptom is bruising on the gums. For example, porcelain fillings cause gum recession because they are not compatible with the gums. In addition to recession, it causes bruising in the gums.
Zirconium materials consist of a special alloy. There is no material in this alloy that will not adapt to teeth and gums. On the contrary, it is a structure that completely adapts to the mouth structure. It does not cause gum recession in any way. There is no bruising in the meat.

Procedures performed on front teeth cause increased aesthetic anxiety. Getting fillings or crowns on molar teeth does not cause much thought. Because there are few people other than the patient who will notice these teeth. However, the front teeth are the first teeth that stand out during communication.
Since the teeth to be veneered are front teeth, the right material must be chosen to provide an aesthetic appearance. The best material will be zirconium. Zirconium dental coating is the most preferred application on front teeth. Thanks to this application, the appearance will be no different from natural teeth. It also provides a very stylish appearance.

Zirconium coating fees have constantly changed in 2023. Economic changes also affect clinics within the scope of dental health. Even though patients want to get price information over the internet, this will not be a sufficient research.

It is forbidden to provide price information regarding the healthcare field on the internet. As a result of this rule stated by the Ministry of Health, dentists can only share price information with the patient in a private way.

If you want to have zirconium coating, you need to see a dentist. This is the only way you can get current prices, depending on the checks to be made beforehand and the method decided. If you wish, you can contact our clinic for suitable offers in a short time.

After the veneer is applied, it is necessary to pay attention to general oral and dental hygiene. As in classical times, teeth should be brushed at least twice a day. It is necessary to use fluoride toothpaste while brushing.
Apart from brushing, it may also be necessary to use mouthwash. This will not only affect the teeth, it will be effective in eliminating negative bacteria on the cheeks and tongue. Thus, you can gradually extend the life of zirconium coating.
Not only personal protection and care, but also consultations with the dentist are essential. After the veneer, you should talk to your dentist and create a schedule for general check-ups. You can have your teeth checked every few months, although not frequently. Procedures can be applied if necessary.

In general, having veneers is not a harmful situation. On the contrary, it is necessary for the sake of a person’s health. During the application process, different problems of the patient can be noticed by the dentist. This is necessary for general oral and dental health.
On the other hand, experiencing aesthetic anxiety has psychological effects in addition to general oral health. It is important to eliminate this negativity that affects the patient in general. Dentists provide an advantage as they eliminate psychological negativities as well as general oral health.

Zirconium coating is not only applied to the upper surface of the tooth. The process is completed by applying it to the entire surface of the tooth. This process is actually a process that extends the life of the tooth. In single-sided veneers, decay is likely to occur in the back of the tooth.

If the veneer is to be placed on the tooth, the filling and any decay are cleaned before the veneer is applied. It is not expected that caries will form after crowning in completely cleaned teeth. Veneers can also be applied to non-teeth areas. During this application, no decay will occur in the surrounding teeth.
