Zirconium is a type of metal element found in nature. This element has high aesthetic properties and is used in dentistry as a white-coloured metal alloy. In cases where aesthetics are important, zirconium veneers are used as an alternative to other metal-supported porcelain veneers. Zirconium veneer is the most compatible, natural and durable type of veneer for gums.

​

In which cases is Zirconium Coating Preferred?

• It is preferred in the restoration of implant prostheses,

• In dental prostheses called "bridges" applied in the presence of missing teeth,

• Elimination of crowding in patients who do not prefer orthodontic treatment,

• In teeth with high chewing force, where aesthetic veneers consisting entirely of porcelain are avoided,

• in an excessive material loss in teeth.

• ​

What are the advantages of Zirconium Veneer?

• Due to its high light transmittance, it gives much better aesthetic results than conventional metal-supported bonding,

• It is more resistant to chewing forces than full porcelain teeth,

• Its compatibility with the gums is much better than metal-supported porcelain,

• It does not create unpleasant colour differences at the gingival margins,

• Under some circumstances, it is possible to suffer from allergies to materials such as chromium alloys used in the substrates of conventional metal-supported porcelain veneers. There is no allergy effect on zirconium dental veneers,

• It provides more intraoral hygiene than other bondings.

How long does the zirconium veneer treatment last?

Specialist physicians determine the duration of zirconium veneer treatment according to the oral cavity condition and the number of teeth to be treated. Zirconium veneer treatment time can vary between 1 and 5 days.

What is the lifespan of a zirconium veneer?

As long as there are no systemic diseases, lack of hygiene, etc., in our teeth and gums, there is no deformation in the structure of zirconium. As the Medinmore family, we support you with our specialized hospitals in zirconium veneers, as in all your oral and dental treatments.
