Zirconium veneers are one of the types of metal-free veneers known for their durability and proximity to natural appearance in aesthetic dentistry. Thanks to the biocompatible structure of zirconium, this coating, which is compatible with the gums, meets aesthetic and functional needs together.

What is Zirconium Veneer?

Zirconium veneer is a type of coating produced from zirconium oxide material used to improve the aesthetic and functional structure of teeth. These veneers offer a very similar appearance to natural teeth thanks to their light transmission and durability. Zirconium veneers can be used both for aesthetic concerns in the front teeth and for chewing durability in the back teeth.

How is Zirconium Veneer Treatment Performed?

Zirconium crown treatment is carried out in certain steps:

1. Evaluation and Planning: Before starting the treatment, the dentist evaluates the patient’s tooth structure and aesthetic expectations. A personalized treatment plan is prepared taking into account the condition of the teeth.
2. Tooth Preparation: The teeth to be veneered are minimally abraded and made suitable for veneers. During this process, the healthy tissue of the tooth is preserved.
3. Impression Taking and Veneer Production: The impressions taken from the teeth are used for the production of zirconium veneers in the laboratory. The veneers are prepared individually with color and shape options suitable for the natural structure of the tooth.
4. Placement of Veneers: The prepared zirconium veneers are fixed on the tooth with the help of special adhesives. This is done with care to achieve an aesthetically and functionally satisfying result.

Advantages of Zirconium Veneers

• Natural Appearance: Thanks to its high light transmittance, it provides an aesthetic appearance very close to natural teeth.
• Durability: The robust structure of zirconium offers long-term use and chewing durability even on the back teeth.
• Biocompatible Structure: Zirconium material is compatible with the gums, minimizing the risk of allergic reactions.
• Color Stability: It does not change color over time and maintains its aesthetic appearance for a long time.
• Compatibility with Gums: It shows a natural harmony with the gums and does not cause negativities such as gingival recession.

Who is Zirconium Veneers Suitable for?

Zirconium veneers are suitable for individuals with aesthetic concerns, cracks, fractures or discoloration in their teeth. In addition, people with metal allergies and those who want a coating that is more compatible with their gums can also benefit from this treatment. As a result of the evaluation made by the dentist, the suitability of the zirconium crown is determined.

Care After Zirconium Veneers

Regular oral care is important for the longevity and aesthetic appearance of zirconium veneers. Regular brushing, flossing and avoiding hard foods are recommended. In addition, the condition of the veneers should be monitored with regular dental check-ups.
