Zirconia Crown Application

Dental crowns are caps that cover a tooth or a dental implant. They are used for tooth restoration purposes. Dentists often recommend crowns as a way to support broken, weak, or misshapen teeth. The dental crown made around the tooth with zirconia material is called zirconia crown application. Thanks to zirconia crowns, teeth look more natural, stronger and resistant to abrasion. This treatment provides a natural whiteness, light transmittance and durability to the teeth. It is an ideal treatment method for those who want an aesthetic and natural appearance.

For the zirconia crown procedure, conditions, if any, must be eliminated first. Among them are gum diseases, caries or missing teeth. Only after all these are done, treatment can be started.

In the presence of gum diseases, treatment should be performed first. Likewise, problems such as carious teeth should also be intervened. After all problems are eliminated, the zirconia crown application can be started. This application can be performed at any age within the correct indication. Zirconia material is also frequently preferred in over-implant dentures.

How to: Zirconia Crown Application

First, oral and dental controls are performed.
Zirconia crown covers the entire surface of the tooth. Therefore, the tooth is first thinned to a certain extent from all sides under anaesthesia.
After intraoral preparation, all necessary dental impressions are taken from the patient and transferred to the computer. According to the impressions transferred to the computer system, block-shaped zirconia is prepared in 3D machines.
If there is no problem with the compatibility of zirconia with the tooth, porcelain making is started.
The porcelain is processed in layers on the zirconia substrate.
After rehearsal with porcelain in the mouth and zirconia is permanently bonded to the tooth, the process is completed.
