Zirconium & Laminate Veneer
Laminate Crowns
Laminate is a form of treatment, also known as leaf tooth among patients. It is a treatment option used to correct disorders that affect the appearance. Laminates, or leaf coatings, are a form of treatment made by preparing the front surfaces of the tooth in the front teeth and adhering the leaf-shaped layers to these surfaces. They add a natural look. You can get a beautiful smile with laminated crowns.
In which situations is laminate treatment done?
Laminate veneer crowns can be made to remove discolorations or to correct shape to a certain extent.
Who can benefit from laminate treatment?
Most patients can benefit from this treatment. However, there are some cases where it may not be very healthy. Therefore, it is always the healthiest option to communicate with the doctor and make decisions accordingly.
Are laminates long-lasting? Are they durable?
They can be used healthily for many years. However, it is necessary to pay attention to oral and dental health. It is especially not recommended for patients with nail biting habits and those who pull things off with their front teeth.
What are the advantages of laminate veneers?
A healthy and natural appearance is obtained by a small intervention.
They are manufactured from strong, durable, and discoloration-resistant materials.
Teeth with aesthetic properties can be achieved by laminate veneers without interfering with the natural structure of your teeth. No change can be made on the tooth or a more perfect result can be achieved with a little correction.
The laboratory phase is one week. However, in smile design, it may take 3-4 weeks for your lips to adapt to your new look at the end of this period. However, a beautiful appearance can be achieved by some home application recommendations.
Since porcelain surfaces are extremely smooth, it minimizes staining and tartar formation caused by smoking and other reasons.
It does not get discolored with external factors like coffee, tea, or smoking.
It is a very fragile material. But, when it fully adheres to the enamel, its resistance to tensile and compressive forces increases to a very high extent. For example, it is impossible to completely remove an adhered veneer from the tooth. They can only be removed by abrading the tooth surface using diamond drills.
It has high resistance to wear.
Zirconium Crowns
Zirconium crowns are in harmony with our body and provide a natural appearance. High-tech zirconium is used in dentistry for its durability and aesthetic properties. Malatya has started to be the choice of our patients in zirconium crowns.
Zirconium Porcelain-Based Crowns and Bridge Applications
In zirconium crowns, a zirconium structure is used as the structural material instead of metal, which is used in porcelain crowns. Research has shown that they have allowed for the highest performance achieved to date in terms of the basic requirements of dentistry, such as aesthetics, durability, tissue compatibility, and naturalness.
It emerges as a result of the combination of hand ability and computer technology. Measurements prepared in the clinic are shaped by hand in laboratories, scanned with special devices, and transferred to the computer system. Then, the shaped measurements begin to be processed through systems.
So, the zirconium oxide infrastructure is formed. This infrastructure is covered with special porcelains. This allows for crowns and bridges that are translucent (with a neon effect), highly durable, aesthetic, and natural-looking. The biggest advantage of the system is that it makes porcelains now usable in bridges, with very high durability.
Where Can Zirconium Be Used?
- • Single tooth crown restorations
- • 3-6 member bridges
- • Over-implant prostheses
Zirconium-Based Bridges Without Metal Support
In this system, a zirconium alloy with white color is used as the base, instead of metal. The biggest advantage of the system is that it provides a fully aesthetic appearance to the bridges in the rear with very high durability.
