Zirconium Crown Turkey

What is Zirconium Crown Turkey?

A Zirconium Crown Turkey is a dental crown made from zirconium, a durable, biocompatible material that closely resembles natural teeth. I chose zirconium because it’s incredibly strong, which means it can handle the pressure of chewing and lasts longer without chipping or breaking. Plus, zirconium is metal-free, so it doesn’t cause allergic reactions, making it a safer option for many people.

I also liked how it blends in seamlessly with my other teeth, giving a natural look without any of that grayish tint that metal crowns sometimes have. In Turkey, the cost of zirconium crowns is generally more affordable, even though the quality of materials and expertise is high, making it an appealing option for anyone looking to improve their smile on a budget.

How is Zirconium Crown Applied?

Zirconium is a very strong metal that is lighter than steel and has hardness properties similar to copper. It is highly resistant to heat and corrosion. Zirconium element, also known as “ceramic steel”, is bio-compatible. Because of their strength and durability, it is widely used in the medical field

Conventional porcelain crowns are usually produced from a metal framework, and this metal framework causes an artificial appearance to the porcelain. These metal substructures may also cause discoloration. The white framework inside zirconium crown creates a natural appearance to metal-supported porcelain crowns.

Some patients may experience gingival recession for various reasons. In such cases, the appearance of zirconium-supported porcelain is less noticeable than metal-supported porcelain. For this reason, they are more appealing.

Like zirconium-supported porcelains, the disadvantages of metal-supported porcelains can be eliminated with full ceramic crowns. Another advantage of zirconium crowns is their biocompatibility. Dental tissues and gingiva are less likely to have an allergic reaction to zirconium. Another advantage is its durability. Zirconium crowns are as resistant to breakage as conventional metal-supported ceramic crowns.

Zirconium frameworks and monolithic crowns are designed and produced digitally. After the design process which is made on the computer, the shape, color, and smile design can be visualized. Zirconium-supported restorations can be produced very thin. Therefore, the teeth can be prepared minimally. Perhaps one of the most important advantages of zirconium-supported porcelain restorations is their aesthetic appearance.

What are the Advantages of Zirconium Crowns?

Zirconium is a very strong and aesthetic material as a framework, it is extremely resistant to chewing forces. For this reason, the application is quite safe in patients with clenching or grinding habits.

Another advantage of zirconium is that it is suitable for digital design and production. Digital design and production reduce the workload of the technician and maximize the marginal adaptation. It can be used in patients with periodontal diseases. Since there is no metal in the framework, the appearance is more aesthetic.

They can also be used safely in patients with metal allergies, which provides a great advantage.

Who Is Suitable for Zirconium Crown?

It can be used in cases where the color and shape of the teeth are desired to be changed, in cases where there are cracks or fractures in the teeth, when there are gaps between the teeth or in the presence of worn teeth, as a bridge in the absence of one or more teeth, as a crown or bridge on implants in completely edentulous jaws.

Are Patients Who Have Zirconium Crowns Satisfied?

Zirconium veneers provide high patient satisfaction due to their aesthetic and functional advantages. Metal-supported porcelains bring with them aesthetic disadvantages. Since zirconium crowns eliminate these disadvantages, they bring along high patient satisfaction.

High patient satisfaction depends on the used material and the cooperation between physician and technician. However, patient satisfaction may decrease if one of these factors is missing. Clinic and doctor choice is therefore very important in treatment satisfaction.

Will there be pain during the preparation?

Since the tooth preparation is performed under local anesthesia, no pain is expected to be felt during the procedure. Temporary crowns prevent sensitivity caused by heat and cold. Some patients might experience slight sensitivity during the procedure. Generally, the procedure is completed without pain and discomfort.

How Long Can I use my Zirconium Crowns?

Teeth are living tissues and changes can be observed due to various reasons such as wear and friction. Zirconium crowns remain the same if there is no chipping and we do not expect any change over time. Over time the gingiva and bone volume might change, caries can be seen underneath crowns which affect the fit of the crowns. Due to such reasons, the crowns may need to be replaced. The replacement is required on average after 10 years.

The fracture resistance of zirconium crowns is high but small or larger fractures may occur in zirconium crowns over time due to various reasons. Still, it can be used for many years in patients with good oral hygiene. Regular dental check-ups are also another factor for long-lasting crowns.

How often should visit my dentist after crown treatment?

After the crown treatment, it is necessary to go to the check-up at certain intervals. The interval differs for each patient. The recall appointments are usually scheduled simultaneously with routine cleaning.

However, bad habits such as smoking and excessive consumption of tea and coffee may lead to stains that cannot be easily removed from the porcelain surface. Patients with these habits should pay more attention to oral care.

Can it be applied to those with gum disease?

It can be done after the necessary gingival treatments are done. It is not correct to use any veneer on patients with periodontal problems. Gingival diseases can continue chronically after treatment and if regular controls are not made, the longevity of the crown might be adversely affected.

How is Zirconium Crown Cemented?

Zirconium veneers are cemented using adhesives. These adhesives may fail over time. However, this situation depends on many factors and is not expected in the first 10 years.

If the tooth under the veneer has decayed and the veneer may fall off. In such cases, if possible, the abutment tooth is restored and the crown may be cemented again. In some cases, the veneer may need to be renewed after the tooth has been restored.
