Porcelain Tooth Veneers

Porcelain dental veneers are a dental treatment method used to eliminate aesthetic concerns and give people a more attractive smile. This technique is performed by placing specially designed porcelain sheets on the upper part of the teeth, thus covering the original tooth surface and achieving a natural appearance.

Porcelain dental veneers offer a personalized solution by enabling individuals to achieve ideal oral functions. Designed to suit the needs of each patient, porcelain dental veneers are carefully prepared to offer a natural aesthetic and comply with high quality standards.

Porcelain provides a perfect smile design because it is the closest material to tooth color. Because of this feature, it is one of the most preferred materials by dentists today. Porcelain dental veneers are known for their durability and offer a long-lasting solution, providing patients with long-term satisfaction.

As a result, porcelain dental veneers technology offers an effective option for addressing aesthetic concerns, preserving natural appearance and providing functional improvements. In this way, individuals can increase their self-confidence by achieving a healthy and attractive smile.

What is Zirconium Treatment?

Metal-supported porcelain veneers, which are preferred for the repair of missing teeth or teeth with excessive material loss, have some aesthetic limitations. Especially in cases where aesthetics are important, zirconium substructures are now preferred over traditional metal substructures. Zirconium veneers are a treatment method that can perfectly harmonize with the gums, have high durability and natural appearance, and at the same time offer healthy results.

Zirconium treatment offers an option beyond metal-supported dental veneers to meet aesthetic expectations. With its gum-compatible structure, longevity and natural aesthetics, zirconium veneers offer an effective solution to provide patients with an attractive and reassuring smile.

Benefits of Zirconium Treatment

  • Provides natural tooth appearance and white color.
  • Maintains gum health at an optimal level.
  • It has high durability.
  • Does not cause complications in patients with metal sensitivity.
  • Prevents hot-cold sensitivity thanks to its insulating feature.
  • Does not cause bad taste and bad breath.

Usage Areas of Zirconium Treatment

  • It is widely used for aesthetic purposes.
  • It is preferred in advanced discolorations where bleaching does not give the desired results.
  • It offers an effective solution in hereditary structural disorders.
  • It is used in cases where orthodontic treatment is not applied, in separated teeth (diastema), slightly crooked or turned teeth.
  • It is preferred in the restoration of old fillings that have deteriorated color and structure.
  • It is effective in restoring teeth with excessive material loss.
  • It can be used to replace missing teeth.

Zirconium crowns have a wide range of applications by offering a natural and durable solution to patients with aesthetic concerns.

What are the Advantages of Zirconium?

Zirconium is a material that is increasingly used in the medical field thanks to its properties. The human body does not reject zirconium, which reduces the chance of infection, complications, pain and allergic reactions to crowns. Zirconium has an advantage over porcelain in that it more effectively covers tooth damage caused by staining or fracture. It is also strong enough to withstand the most intense biting and chewing activities.

It is resistant to extreme heat or cold and has a long lifespan as it is resistant to chipping and cracking. Zirconium can be easily shaped, colored and sized to match the patient’s natural teeth. It can be applied to the tooth by removing a thin layer. Its translucent and clear appearance helps the patient achieve a look that best matches the natural tooth color. Zirconium stands out as a reliable choice in dental treatments with its aesthetic and durability features.
