What is Zirconium Dental Crown?

In today's dentistry, achieving a realistic and natural appearance is more sought after than ever. In order to meet these expectations, we consider it our duty to constantly improve ourselves and actively use the latest opportunities provided by technology.

Zirconium crowns, commonly referred to as 'zirconium crowns' in public, are materials with the strength of stainless steel and the natural light refraction of glass porcelain. This allows us to achieve both a strong structure and an aesthetic appearance in teeth covered with zirconium.

The reason why zirconium coverings provide a much superior aesthetic appearance compared to metal-supported porcelain coverings is that zirconium coverings can refract light instead of reflecting it, creating a natural look.

In the long term, if there is a possibility of gum recession, metal-supported porcelain crowns may begin to show a grey reflection from the metal underneath, whereas this is not a problem with zirconium crowns.

Unlike metal-supported porcelain, where the casting and craftsmanship are crucial, zirconium crowns are digitally processed with computer support, ensuring a better fit to the patient's own teeth.

For this reason, in cases of bridges or crowns in the front areas, we recommend zirconium dental coverings to our patients.
