What is Zirconium Dental Crown?
Zirconium dental crowns are dental restorations made from zirconium oxide, a white and extremely durable material. Since they contain no metal substructure, they deliver the closest result to a natural tooth appearance. Thanks to their light translucency, no dark gray line forms at the gum margin.
At Million Hair Clinic, we use CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology in our zirconium dental crown treatments in Istanbul. Crowns produced with precision in the laboratory using digital impressions ensure excellent fit and aesthetics.
Our clinic offers both monolithic and layered zirconium options. Layered zirconium with high aesthetics is preferred for front teeth, while monolithic zirconium with high durability is preferred for back teeth. The most suitable zirconium type for each patient is determined by our specialist dentists.
How is Zirconium Crown Performed?
Zirconium dental crown treatment at our clinic is precisely performed with digital technology.
Examination & Planning
The condition of the teeth is evaluated and digital smile design is performed. Color and shape are determined together with the patient.
Tooth Preparation
Teeth are precisely reduced to prepare space for the crowns. Digital impressions are taken and sent to the laboratory. Temporary crowns are placed.
CAD/CAM Production
Crowns designed digitally in a computer environment are milled from zirconium blocks using CNC milling machines. Color and shape checks are performed.
Bonding and Results
The manufactured zirconium crowns are bonded to the teeth with special adhesive cement. Occlusion check is performed to ensure a perfect fit.
Digital Smile Design
Before starting zirconium crown treatment, your treatment result is pre-visualized using Digital Smile Design. This allows you to see the expected outcome before beginning the treatment.
Zirconium Crown Advantages
1. Natural Light Translucency
Zirconium has light translucency similar to natural tooth enamel. Thanks to this property, no artificial appearance occurs and it is indistinguishable from a natural tooth when viewed from outside.
2. Metal-Free
Zirconium crowns are completely metal-free. As a result, no black line forms at the gum margin, there is no risk of metal allergy, and they do not cause issues during MRI scans.
3. High Durability
Zirconium oxide is a harder and more durable material than natural teeth. The risk of fracture and cracking is extremely low. It can be safely used even on back teeth.
4. Biocompatibility
Zirconium is a biocompatible material that is fully accepted by the body. It does not harm the gums, does not cause allergic reactions, and preserves gum health in the long term.
5. Longevity
Quality zirconium crowns can last 15-20 years or more with proper care. They do not change color, resist staining, and maintain their original aesthetics over the years.
