How to Apply Zirconium Crown ?

Zirconium treatment is applied similarly to other dental coating treatments you know. The most decisive difference between dental veneer treatments is, of course, the type of material used for the veneer. Just like in metal-supported veneers, before applying zirconium dental treatment, minor corrections and adjustments are made on the teeth to be veneered. With these corrections, the tooth is generally reduced in size and given a form that allows the crown to sit on it exactly. Zirconium coating, which does not cause any damage to the teeth, is produced using CAD/CAM technology in a laboratory environment, according to the mouth and tooth structure that is specifically measured. The porcelain superstructure is processed onto the zirconium substructure, which is produced in a color suitable for the tooth, and is ensured to match the tooth in the clinical environment. In the final stage, it is bonded to the tooth with the help of special dental veneer adhesives and integrated permanently.

How compatible is Zirconium Crown with gums?
