What are veneers?
Veneers are thin tooth-colored coverings. It is often constructed of porcelain or composite bonding material and is glued to the front surface of your teeth with dental bonding cement to give your teeth a more symmetrical or aesthetically attractive look.
What Are the Most Common Veneer Types?
The following are the most popular types of veneer:
- Composite coatings
- Porcelain veneers
What exactly is zirconium in teeth?
There are two terms to grasp here. Zirconium and zirconia are metals. Zirconium (Zr) is a kind of METAL. It is extremely strong and has physical and chemical characteristics that are quite comparable to Titanium. Zirconia is a CERAMIC material. At high temperatures, it is generated by the reaction of oxygen and zirconium, also known as zirconium dioxide (ZrO2).
Are zirconium veneers strong and durable?
Yes, they are pretty powerful. Because zirconium is the strongest ceramic substance, it is appropriately referred to as “ceramic steel.” And, indeed, it is ten times stronger than tooth enamel.
Is Zirconium Veneer Durable?
With proper care, zirconium veneers may last anywhere from 10 to 30 years.
Case Studies
How are zirconium crowns applied?
In order to get a healthy and aesthetic result with zirconium crowning, attention should be paid to gingival health as priority. After the gums are treated and healed, they should be evaluated from an aesthetic point of view. If the patient’s smile line is high, and if necessary, the necessary leveling process is performed from the gingival lengths. After the gingival treatment and the shaping process is completed, a 1-2 mm filing down procedure is performed to the teeth. The filed teeth are measured with special impression materials and sent to the laboratory. According to the measurements taken, the design is prepared and produced in the laboratory digitally in the computer environment. After the intraoral rehearsal of the zirconium infrastructure is completed, the porcelain superstructure embroidered on it is also rehearsed. After the necessary final arrangements have been made, the polished and smooth surface crowns are adhered to the tooth.
What is zirconium crowning?
Zirconium is a white metal extracted from nature. The material that forms the infrastructure under the porcelain in zirconium crowns is zirconium dioxide. Compared to classical, metal-based porcelain crowns, zirconium has a higher resistance to pressure and tension. Since it is a tissue-friendly material, it does not cause any allergies and has become a frequently preferred material in recent years.

How should zirconium teeth be taken care of?
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF ZIRCONIUM PORCELAIN COATING?
• When evaluated aesthetically, it is a material that achieves perfection. It is also more durable when compared to other full ceramic systems.
• It is a tissue-friendly material with very good biocompatibility and does not cause allergic reactions. In metal-supported systems, the sensitivity that occurs on the tooth due to heat conduction of the metal is reduced in systems with zirconium infrastructure due to the low thermal conductivity.
• Unlike the metal substructure, it is a more aesthetic material because there is no gray color reflected from under the gingiva and because of its light fragility.

I would like to share my views after about 3 months of treatment. First, I researched many countries and spoke to many clinics.
The clinic we went to for my fiancée's wisdom tooth extraction was so hygienic and sterilized, similar to the Covid days. The staff welcomed us with smiling faces, and the attention of the employees & the workmanship of the doctors were all perfect. I really recommend this dental clinic for anyone who wants dental care.
We started our dental treatment with Mr. Çağkan last week and it was completed today. This man is simply professional and friendly ! I would recommend a very successful dentist like him, along with his friendliness and sincerity to everyone.
I went there for a Wisdom tooth extraction and a root canal treatment. I would like to thank all Optimum Oral and Dental Health Center employees, especially Dr. Çağkan and Ms. Seren, for their high interest in my case and concern about my dental health. It is a super hygienic dental care center. Wishing them the best of luck !
