Zirconium Crown Application
What is a Zirconium Crown?
A zirconium crown is a durable and aesthetic material that covers the entire tooth. It is often preferred over metal-supported crowns because it offers a more natural appearance. It is an ideal solution for people with worn, structurally damaged, or discolored teeth. It stands out for both its strength and its elegance.
How is a Zirconium Crown Applied?
- Examination and Planning
Your dentist examines your oral structure and creates a treatment plan according to your wishes. The color of the zirconium is chosen to match your natural tooth shade. - Tooth Preparation
The entire surface of the tooth is slightly abraded so that the crown can fit comfortably. This process allows the zirconium to be placed on the tooth naturally. - Measurement
After abrasion, your teeth are measured and these measurements are used in the laboratory to prepare customised veneers. - Temporary Veneers
Temporary veneers can be fitted to protect your teeth and provide an aesthetic appearance until permanent veneers are ready. - Placing the Veneers
When zirconium veneers are ready, they are placed on your teeth. After checking the fit, it is fixed with a special adhesive. - Finishing Touches
After the veneers are placed, your teeth are polished and gain a natural shine.
