When to use zirconia crowns?
As in all treatments, the first procedure to be done in dental treatment is the physical examination of the patient by the dentist and, if necessary, x-ray examination of the teeth and gums. After the general condition of the patient's teeth and gum diseases is fully detected and diagnosed, it is decided whether the patient is suitable for zirconium crown and veneer treatment. If the patient is deemed suitable for treatment, a patient-specific treatment plan is determined.
What are the criteria for zirconia crowns?
We will have information about the following criteria and information about who this dental treatment is suitable for.
- Zirconia crowns and veneers are preferred by those who want to have a good mouth and tooth structure in terms of both durability and aesthetics. If the patient's thoughts and wishes are in this direction, this treatment offers ideal dental care.
- In cases where the teeth turn yellow, change color, darken, or lose their whiteness, and the old whiteness is not obtained despite professional whitening treatments, zirconium veneers treatment will be satisfactory for patients. This dental treatment is perfect for individuals who want to regain the natural whiteness of their teeth.
- Zirconium crowns are known to be very durable and more resistant to impacts compared to other crowns. In this context, it is a treatment that can be easily preferred by people whose teeth are moving and shaking, broken, or whose teeth have suffered other damage. With zirconium crowns, you can have teeth similar to your natural ones that fulfil their functions again.
- It is possible for gaps to form between teeth due to orthodontic treatment, tooth deficiency, or other reasons. Over time, these gaps will negatively affect other teeth, primarily the adjacent teeth. Due to the increased pressure on the other teeth, swaying of the healthy teeth, weakening of the jawbone, and decay may begin to occur. Closing these gaps between teeth with zirconium crowns will prevent all these negativities.
- Individuals with crooked teeth protrude beyond the tooth line, revealing a tooth and mouth structure that disrupts the aesthetic appearance. This situation can negatively affect the functions of the teeth as well as the aesthetic appearance. Zirconium crowns provide individuals in this situation with a better-looking mouth and tooth structure.
- The color of the filling may change, darken, or lose its function due to various reasons over time. In this case, it is possible to eliminate these problems with zirconium crown treatment.
- When the structure of the mouth necessitates a dental bridge, zirconium crowns fulfil this requirement and facilitate the treatment.
- After the treatment of tooth decay, the tooth is strengthened with a zirconium crown, and tooth decay is prevented again.
- Zirconium crowns do not contain metal and are biocompatible, so they are an ideal treatment method for people with metal allergies.
However, the following conditions should not be ignored.
- The patient's general health condition should be suitable for dental treatment. Individuals with uncontrolled diabetes and high blood pressure, individuals with metastasised cancer, and those who use drugs that weaken the immune system are considered risk groups. A specialist doctor's approval is required to initiate treatment for these patients. In addition, individuals with diseases, such as gum disease, may cause the implant to fall out, etc. Zirconium dental treatment can be started after these diseases are treated.
- Around the age of 18, the jaw and bone structures typically complete their physiological development. Bone density, strength, and quantity are crucial for dental treatments. In individuals with incomplete development, the bone and implant may not fully fuse, which may cause the implant to fall out. For this reason, as in other treatments, bone development must be completed in order to have zirconium crowns.
