Zirconium is a material that has become widespread in dental applications in recent years. This material has replaced other restorative materials because it is strong, durable, and aesthetically satisfying.
Zirconium provides a tooth structure that resembles natural teeth and reflects light. This means that zirconium teeth look very similar to natural teeth and ensure that treated teeth match natural teeth.
Zirconium teeth are more durable than other restorative materials such as ceramic veneers or metal-supported veneers. Additionally, zirconium teeth are more tightly bonded to tooth enamel and cause less sensitivity.
Zirconium teeth can be used in many dental applications such as root canal treatment, gum disease, repair of broken or decayed teeth. There are also zirconium implants that help patients with tooth loss to restore their teeth.
At ISTADENTAL, we are experts in the use of zirconium teeth and also offer zirconium veneers as part of our dental treatments. These veneers mimic the natural color and shape of teeth to make your teeth look more aesthetic and natural.
Step 1 Examination, Imaging and Preparation: the head physician evaluates you; panoramic X-ray and CBCT create your oral map. Your prosthodontist prepares your teeth for zirconium, and colour and form are chosen together.
Step 2 PMMA Try-In: temporary PMMA prosthetics are fitted. Bite, aesthetics and comfort are reviewed; you can freely share anything you are not happy with.
Step 3, Permanent Zirconium Try-In: the zirconium restorations produced in the laboratory are tried in. Aesthetics, colour and bite function are finalised with your approval.
Step 4, Permanent Bonding: permanent zirconium crowns are fixed after a final check. Bite and comfort are confirmed; your new smile is now permanent.
Step 5 Final Check and Night Guard: a comprehensive final check is carried out and your night guard is delivered. Your dentist explains your personalised hygiene and care advice.
