How is Zirconium Coating Done?

"How is Zirconium coating done?" is one of the first questions asked by those who want to get the application done. When a decision is made to have zirconium teeth, the most suitable model for the patient's mouth structure is chosen from among the zirconium tooth models. Taking the color of the tooth of the patient to be treated into account, a selection is made from among the zirconium tooth colors.

The patient for whom the zirconium coating will be done needs to be measured in detail by the dentist. Local anesthesia is performed before zirconium coating. The teeth of the patient for the application are trimmed for zirconium coating. Temporary teeth are placed before zirconium. Zirconium tooth trial is repeatedly applied until it fits perfectly in the mouth of the patient. Then the zirconium tooth is permanently glued by the dentist.

I had surgery 2 weeks ago by Dr Yucel Sarialtin. I have been to almost every doctor in Istanbul, but this doctor is so spontaneous and gives so much attention to his patient, I immediately felt good. I've had a Tummytuck 360 Lipo and BBL! What a great result I couldn't have imagined it better! Dear people please find the right doctor!!! Because I also had the same operation in 2019, but this doctor mutilated me, and Yucel Sarialtin had to correct this again, which of course makes the operation more difficult. I recommend this doctor 100%! & of course his team also lots of kisses to Buse Bayram Aysegul who helped me through this period

Before opting for zirconium tooth, extensive research should be conducted as it is an irreversible process. Does zirconium tooth cause tooth sensitivity? Is zirconium tooth fixed individually? Should porcelain tooth or zirconium tooth be preferred? How long does zirconium coating treatment take? Such important questions must be discussed with a dentist before getting zirconium teeth, and the procedure should be done after the necessary information is obtained.

Benefits of Zirconium Coating

In recent times, zirconium coating is a highly preferred method compared to porcelain teeth and metal-supported coated teeth. The advantages of zirconium teeth can be listed as follows:

  • Due to its structure that transmits light, it prevents the artificial and dull look of other coating teeth.
  • As it does not contain any metal in its coating, it does not cause any allergic reaction to the tooth tissue.
  • After zirconium teeth are applied, there will be no discoloration on the zirconium teeth as long as the necessary oral hygiene is maintained.
  • Since zirconium is a durable material, there will be no breakage, scratches, or cracks on the zirconium coating.
  • Zirconium tooth perfectly matches the natural tooth structure, so it does not cause any aesthetics problems.
  • Zirconium coating is a process that can be applied to both front and back of teeth.
  • While examining the images of zirconium teeth, a natural look is achieved due to the matching of the tooth structure.

Disadvantages of Zirconium Coating

Since zirconium coating is a procedure performed directly on the mouth, there can be some comments regarding its disadvantages. The following can be considered as disadvantages of zirconium dental coating:

  • Since zirconium is a durable material, it may not be possible to apply zirconium coating in arrangements with wide ranges.
  • Zirconium can also have a higher price compared to metal-supported coatings in terms of costs.
  • After having the zirconium coating, there is likely to be an issue with the lower teeth and gums in cases where oral hygiene is not applied properly.

The Difference Between Zirconium Coating and Laminate Coating

Although zirconium coating and laminate coating are some of the most popular methods of smile design in recent times, there are significant differences between two applications.

  • The most obvious difference between zirconium coating and laminate coating are the application methods. In zirconium tooth application, the top surface of the tooth is completely milled, while for veneer teeth, only the front surface of the tooth is milled.
  • Due to its structure, zirconium teeth are more resilient. However, for laminate coating, where a thin layer of porcelain is applied on the tooth, it can be considered a lot less durable.
  • Zirconium tooth application can be done both on front and back of teeth, while laminate tooth coating is generally done on front face of teeth. Laminate coating prices are most likely to be higher than zirconium coating.

The Difference Between Zirconium Coating and Metal Coating

Although they are similar in terms of application, the results are quite different between zirconium coating and metal coating.

  • Zirconium teeth provide a perfect match with a person's natural tooth structure, while metal-backed teeth have a dull and murky look.
  • Zirconium coating is more expensive than metal coating in terms of cost.
  • When the tooth is coated with zirconium, there is no change in mouth odor or taste, whereas metal-backed coatings can experience such negative conditions.
  • Zirconium coating is close to natural in terms of light transmittance, unfortunately metal-supported coating is not a transparent structure.
  • Zirconium coating does not cause any allergic reaction in the dental tissue, while the probability of such allergic reactions in metal coatings is high.
  • Although with metal-supported coating there is a possibility of bad appearance near the dental tissue over time, such unpleasantness is not seen in zirconium tooth application.
