Zirconia and Porcelain Veneers

Zirconia and Porcelain Veneers

What are zirconia and porcelain veneers? Porcelain veneer vs zirconia crown? In which cases are they applied? Are they related to cosmetic dentistry? When there is a loss of material in the teeth, the veneering process is performed to remove them and regain their old healthy appearance. Zirconia and porcelain veneers are also frequently preferred in these procedures. They are highly preferred, especially due to their aesthetic appearance and their similarity to natural tooth tissue. Zirconia is basically a substance placed under porcelain tooth veneers. Thanks to this substance, the grey appearance seen on the teeth due to metal is eliminated.

What is Zirconia & Porcelain Dental Veneer?

Porcelain veneer vs zirconia crown? You will find the answer.

Zirconia & porcelain veneering is the procedure of supporting porcelain veneers with zirconia substructure. Porcelains supported with metal substructure are also very successful. However, the metal in the substructure causes a grey light reflection from under the tooth. Since the metal material has no light transmittance, it prevents an aesthetic and natural tooth appearance. Zirconia material is preferred because it has high light transmittance and high tensile strength. In addition to these features, it also prevents sensitivity to cold and heat.

Differences between Zirconia and Porcelain Veneers

Although zirconia and porcelain veneers are considered as the same, it is not the case. There are a few differences that distinguish these two materials from each other. These differences are:

  • Zirconia veneers are produced using up-to-date technologies. On the other hand, porcelain veneers are produced using traditional methods.
  • Zirconia veneers do not contain metal. This prevents the greying of the gums over time. Porcelain veneers, on the other hand, have a metal substructure. Greying is observed over time owing to metal substructure.
  • Porcelain veneers have almost no light transmittance. Therefore, it has a matt appearance. Zirconia veneers, on the other hand, have high light transmittance. With this feature, zirconia veneers have a much more natural appearance than porcelain veneers.
  • Zirconia is an extremely durable material. Porcelain is less resistant to pressures in the mouth. Zirconia is a much more durable material. Zirconia and porcelain veneering methods are effective methods applied to make teeth look more aesthetic and beautiful. Thanks to these methods, the teeth look much more beautiful.
