Zirconium Treatment

What is Zirconium?

Zirconium, which is an extremely durable material, is a durable material used not only in the dental field, but also in many areas. Since it is white in color and translucent, it transmits light and the difference between normal teeth is not easily discernible. If taken care of well, tea does not turn yellow due to external factors such as coffee and cigarettes and can maintain its whiteness for a long time. Zirconium is a biocompatible material. There is no harm to the body and the treatment can generally be completed in a short time.

• In teeth that are decayed, broken or have lost excessive substance for any reason
• Color related problems
• In form disorders
• Closing the gaps between teeth
• In the presence of large fillings
• As a preventive treatment for teeth that have undergone root canal treatment and whose durability has decreased.

Detailed measurements of the patients are taken. Digital measurements taken with intraoral scanning give healthier results because there is no margin of error. After the examination, if there is no problem in the gums, the patient’s teeth begin to be made. With the measurement taken, the patient’s teeth are designed in digital environment and converted into physical form in CAD / CAM devices. After the patient’s rehearsal is taken, the zirconium tooth is adhered to the patient’s teeth with minor touch-ups and porcelain veneer.

Is Zirconium Suitable for Gum Patients?

Patients who want to have zirconium teeth should first undergo gingival treatment. There is no harm in making zirconium after gingival treatment.

Zirconium teeth are alloys made from the element zircon, which is very durable. If patients pay attention to their oral and dental health, especially brushing teeth, after zirconium treatment, if they go to a doctor’s control periodically every 6 months, they can use their zirconium teeth for a long time. It is possible to see zirconium teeth used for 12-16 years. Zirconium teeth are resistant to heat, corrosion and pressure.

Hard or crusty foods should not be consumed with zirconium teeth, and excessive force should not be applied to these teeth. The patient should take care of his teeth. In case of a possible fracture or crack, a physician should be consulted.

Although individuals from all age groups can have zirconium made, we do not recommend zirconium treatment to individuals under the age of 18-20 because they are in the developmental age. Zirconium is a treatment that is performed more frequently in adult people who attach importance to aesthetic appearance due to reasons such as low heat permeability, providing an aesthetic appearance with a color close to natural teeth, being resistant to color change, being extremely durable and long-lasting, and being easy to maintain.

Will I Feel Pain or Pain During Zirconium Treatment?

Since local anesthetic agents are used in the treatment of zirconium, no pain or pain is felt. In addition, these substances provide great comfort for patients as they reduce post-treatment sensitivity and accelerate healing.

E-max coating is a coating made with a form of ceramic. It is a very high quality material.
E-max is a method applied to provide natural looking teeth similar to real teeth in patients.
E-max does not contain metal, so it can be used easily for patients who are sensitive to metal. Since it has a rich color palette, the color tone suitable for the teeth of the patients can be selected.
Emax materials are very similar to natural teeth as they transmit light, they adapt to the tissue because they are biocompatible materials. Also, patients can use these teeth for many years.
They are preferred by patients because they look aesthetically pleasing.

E-max veneers offer patients a natural, aesthetic appearance. Faded or discolored teeth can be treated with e-max veneers.
The most important teeth in smile design are the front teeth. E-max is a treatment used especially in the front teeth. If patients have crooked or broken teeth, e-max veneers can be preferred at this point. In addition, e-max veneers can be preferred to increase the durability of canal treated teeth.

• E-max materials are translucent. In this respect, they provide an appearance similar to the natural tooth structure.
• The color suitable for the patient’s tooth color can be selected. There is a wide color palette for E-max.
• They are biocompatible materials, patients can use them without discomfort after treatment.
• Since its surface is slippery, the formation of tartar is much less than normal teeth, if it is regularly maintained.
• It is a method preferred by patients for digital smile design.

E-max is a more laborious method than metal coatings. When e-max is considered in patients with aesthetic concerns, the priority is on the incisors in the front. The reason for this is that the anterior teeth are the most important factor in aesthetic appearance. E-max is therefore usually applied to the anterior teeth.

E-max is not applied to molars that need crushing force. More metal coatings are applied to these teeth because these teeth are under constant load.
