Zirconium Crown

Metal-Free Naturalness: The Meeting Point of Aesthetics and Durability

Zirconium crowns are one of the most modern restoration methods in aesthetic dentistry, developed as an alternative to metal-supported crowns, offering high aesthetics and durability. Thanks to their metal-free structure, they provide the closest appearance to a natural tooth while also offering a strong and long-lasting solution. In our clinic, we meet your aesthetic and functional expectations at the highest level with zirconium crowns.

In Which Cases Is a Zirconium Crown Preferred?

Zirconium crowns are an ideal solution for addressing various dental problems:

• Aesthetic Concerns: Dark-colored teeth, teeth discolored due to large and old fillings.
• Structural Damages: Broken, worn, or teeth with large substance loss.
• Tooth Form Irregularities: Correction of teeth that are not ideal in shape, size, or position.
• Metal Allergy: An aesthetic alternative for patients with metal allergies or those bothered by the grey color of metal.
• Bridge Prostheses: Used to avoid the unesthetic appearance of metal in bridge prostheses that replace multiple missing teeth.

Advantages of Zirconium Crown

The main advantages offered by zirconium crowns are:

• Natural Appearance: Thanks to its light transmission, it offers an aesthetic very close to natural tooth enamel. It does not cause graying of the gums and adds a natural vitality.
• Biocompatibility: Being a tissue-friendly material, it does not cause allergic reactions and positively affects gum health.
• Durability: Highly resistant to very high chewing forces, it can be safely used even on posterior teeth.
• Low Thermal Conductivity: Its thermal conductivity is lower than that of metal, so hot/cold sensitivity is less felt.
• Stain Resistance: Highly resistant to staining due to its smooth surface.
