What is a Zirconium Tooth?

Zirconium teeth are porcelain coatings, which are called “zirconium crown” by dentists using dental terms, and “zirconium tooth” or “zirconium crown” among the public, which allows the upper visible part of the tooth to be made without the need for metal supports.

In other words, in order to ensure the connection of porcelain dental veneers to damaged teeth or artificial tooth root such as implants, aesthetic dental veneers close to natural are made today by using zirconium material instead of metal connections.

In short, zirconium dental veneers are porcelain dental crowns without metal support.

Advantages of Zirconium Dental Veneers

• Zirconium teeth are teeth that can transmit light and thanks to these features, aesthetic results very close to natural teeth can be achieved.
• Zirconium teeth do not cause gum darkening that occurs in metal-supported porcelain veneers, the gums retain their natural color and look more aesthetic.
• Zirconium dental veneers do not cause metal allergy. Therefore, zirconium dental veneers are the right choice for people who are allergic to metal.
• Zirconium is not used in pure form, but is converted into white colored ceramic. It does not cause discoloration at the edge of the gums, it has a natural white color.
• Thanks to their durability, zirconium dental veneers can be safely used on both front and back teeth.
