This superior method of dental crowns has a wide range of applications. It offers an effective solution for the restoration of pre-cut teeth, correction of split teeth, elimination of dark lines caused by metal-supported crowns in the mouth, repair of tooth fractures, correction of aesthetic problems caused by discolored and structurally deteriorated fillings in cases where fillings are insufficient due to loss of material, and even correction of tooth distortions. Zirconium crowns, with their high-quality materials and unique design, represent one of the most reliable and effective solutions in modern dentistry. These special dental crowns, which maximize aesthetic concerns, offer a unique solution to give patients a healthy, natural, and attractive smile.

Advantages of Zirconium Crowns

Zirconium crowns provide an aesthetic appearance that is almost identical to natural teeth. They are also an ideal treatment option for individuals with metal allergies. These crowns allow less tooth tissue to be cut compared to other treatments and therefore, help prevent tooth loss. Another advantage of zirconium crowns is that they reduce tooth sensitivity issues. It prevents teeth from being sensitive to cold or hot foods.

Also, compared to metal-backed crowns,zirconium crowns are more compatible with the gums. This feature prevents gray discoloration that may occur at the gingival border and offers a more aesthetically attractive option. Since zirconium veneers are compatible with the gums, they also reduce the possibility of problems such as future gingival recession. In addition, discoloration caused by the consumption of beverages that can cause discoloration, such as tea or coffee, does not occur in zirconium crowns.
