What is a zirconia tooth? Why is it preferred so much in prosthetic applications? These are some of the questions related to the most wondered topic in aesthetic dentistry. Zirconia teeth are made of a type of ceramic — or, in more specific terms, a zirconium oxide — that’s stronger than porcelain and some metal alloys, and it gets fewer sharp edges from the normal “wear and tear” that happens over time. Zirconia teeth (crown) tend to cause less stress and damage on opposing pieces than their porcelain counterparts. Zirconia veneer (crown) is one of the most preferred and applied prosthetic applications. It is simply because it has many important features. Applied directly on tooth, it ensures both an aesthetically good appearence and maintaining functionality. Let’s find out more about this important and advantageous treatment.
Zirconia Tooth: What is Zirconia Veneer?
Zirconia veneer is a material used in patients aspiring an aesthetic and natural tooth appearance. It is made of porcelain with zirconia substructure. Unlike porcelain veneers, they are not metal-supported. Thus, formation of grey appearance in the gums is avoided. This procedure is performed by subjecting the zirconia material to various processes and turning it into veneering material. Zirconia, which is normally white in colour, is removed from its pure mineral state by various processes. It is then processed in special furnaces and converted into zirconia ceramic.
Features of Zirconia Veneers
Zirconia veneers have many important features. Thanks to these features, we can state that it is already highly preferred. The features of dental veneers made of zirconia are as follows:
- It has an extremely natural appearance due to its structure.
- In addition to its natural appearance, it is a very robust material.
- It shows high resistance against corrosion and oxidation.
- Since it does not contain metal, it does not cause discolouration on the gums.
- It is very long lasting and durable.
- Since it has a transparent structure, it has light transmittance. Thus, it is actually the most suitable material for the main tooth colour.
- Despite many years of use, zirconia tooth does not discolour.
- With regular maintenance and check-ups, it can be used for many years without any problems.
What is the Treatment Procedure with Zirconia Veneers?
In the process of dental treatment with zirconia veneers, the tooth surface and the tooth itself can be reduced to a certain extent. Afterwards, a special dental impression is taken and in line with this impression, the appropriate dental veneer material is created in the laboratory environment. Then, the veneer is adhered to the tooth surface with a special adhesive and the procedure is completed.
