What is Zirconium Teeth?

In today's dentistry, a realistic and natural appearance is offered more than ever. In order to meet these expectations, we consider it our duty to constantly improve ourselves and to use the most up-to-date opportunities offered by technology more actively.

Zirconium crowns, which are popularly called "zircon teeth", are materials that have the strength of stainless steel and the natural refraction of glass porcelain. Thus, we can provide both a solid structure and an aesthetic appearance in the teeth we cover with zirconium.

The reason why we can provide a much superior aesthetic appearance with zirconium veneers than metal-supported porcelain veneers is that zirconium veneers can refract the light coming from outside instead of reflecting it and provide a natural appearance.

In case of gingival recession that may occur in the future, the metal inside the metal supported porcelain crowns starts to reflect grayly from the gingiva, while such a problem does not occur in zirconium crowns.

Zirconium crowns, which are processed with computer support and transferring the measurements taken to the computer environment rather than casting and handwork, are more compatible with the patient's own teeth than metal-supported porcelains.

For this reason, we recommend zirconium dental crowns to our patients in bridges or crowns to be made in the anterior regions.
