Kemerburgaz Zirconium Dental Coating | Dt. Onur Hökümdar

Thanks to its natural light transmittance, it provides aesthetic results, is compatible with the fabric, and has a low risk of allergic reactions. Its high fracture resistance makes it resistant to chewing forces. Its stain-resistant surface ensures it retains its original color for a long time.

While metal-supported porcelain veneers are economical, they can create shadows at the gum line in the aesthetic area. Zirconium is a more suitable choice, especially for teeth in the smile line and for patients with allergy sensitivity. Which option is right is evaluated together with the position of the tooth and the patient's expectations.

In zirconium crowns, the quality of the result depends as much on the accuracy of the measurement and color selection as on the material itself. Dr. Onur Hökümdar plans the color and shape selection for his patients in the region in conjunction with facial aesthetics; thus, the crown looks natural and harmonious with the adjacent teeth.

With proper oral hygiene and regular checkups, zirconium crowns can last for many years. Regular brushing, flossing, and six-month checkups significantly extend their lifespan.

Zirconium surfaces are resistant to staining; while tea, coffee, and cigarettes can yellow natural teeth, significant discoloration is not expected in zirconium crowns. Nevertheless, general oral hygiene remains important.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so no pain is felt. There may be temporary sensitivity after tooth preparation; this will pass quickly.

Yes. Our clinic has a 3D digital tomography (CBCT) scanner. Before zirconium crown placement, the condition of the tooth and root structure, and any underlying fillings and root canal treatments, must be clarified. If necessary, we perform this assessment in our clinic on the same day, eliminating the need for you to visit another center; this ensures the crown is placed on a more solid foundation.
