What Are the Features of Zirconium Veneers?

Zirconium veneers are an effective method for covering gaps, misalignments, shape deformities, fractures, cracks, or discoloration in the teeth. During the treatment process, the teeth are aligned to the same size, and the Zirconium veneers are customized and applied to fit the reshaped teeth. After the procedure, patients’ teeth will function like natural teeth. Zirconium veneers, made from zirconium sheets, replace natural teeth. After the procedure, patients can eat, bite, and chew comfortably. These veneers, especially popular for front teeth, are compatible with the entire dental structure.

Who Can Get Zirconium Veneers?

The primary condition for patients receiving Zirconium veneers is that they must be over 18 years old. Full bone development and the proper alignment of facial and jawbone structures are important to ensure that the veneers fit well. After the procedure, Zirconium veneers replace the patient’s natural teeth. Therefore, this treatment is not applied to individuals who have not yet developed all their permanent teeth. During the Zirconium veneer process, our dentists thoroughly examine patients’ oral and dental health. If patients have gum disease, oral, or dental issues, they undergo necessary treatments such as root canals, cavity fillings, and gum treatments before the veneers are applied. Untreated gum disease or infections can lead to complications with the veneers, causing them to fail prematurely. In cases of jawbone damage, patients must undergo treatment to repair the bone before receiving veneers.

What Are the Benefits of Zirconium Veneers?

The advantages of Zirconium veneers include the following:

After the treatment, patients will have perfectly aligned teeth.
The teeth will maintain their natural appearance with excellent light transmission.
Unlike metal-supported veneers, which can darken the gums and reduce light transmission, Zirconium veneers allow high light transmission, maintaining the natural white color of the teeth.
Zirconium veneers prevent gum problems such as bleeding, darkening, or swelling, which are common with metal-supported veneers.
Metal-supported veneers may cause matting and surface irregularities in the teeth, whereas Zirconium veneers preserve the teeth’s natural shine.
Zirconium veneers maintain their bright and white appearance for many years.
These veneers mimic the appearance of natural teeth, providing a realistic look without the artificial feel.
Zirconium veneers are as strong and durable as natural teeth, allowing patients to eat and chew freely without fear of breakage.
Zirconium veneers are highly resistant to fractures and damage compared to other types of veneers.
The natural and transparent look of Zirconium veneers enhances the patient’s smile.
The smooth surface of Zirconium veneers prevents plaque and tartar buildup, promoting long-term oral health.
With proper care, Zirconium veneers can last up to 12 years.
Unlike metal-supported veneers, which may cause bad breath, Zirconium veneers do not contribute to this issue.
Zirconium veneers are designed to match the size and shape of the patient’s natural teeth, ensuring an even, proportional appearance.

How Are Zirconium Veneers Applied?

The steps of the Zirconium veneer application process are as follows:

Patients undergo an initial examination of their oral health, including gums and teeth.
The size of the jaw and teeth is measured.
The teeth are reshaped to fit the veneers by reducing their size.
Impressions are taken for the veneers, which are then custom-made in a laboratory to match the patient’s natural teeth color.
The custom-made Zirconium veneers are then bonded to the teeth using special adhesives.

After the procedure, patients can enjoy their new teeth without restrictions. With proper care, there will be no need for replacement veneers for many years. Patients may experience some sensitivity in their gums for a few days, but this will subside shortly.

Do Zirconium Veneers Have Any Disadvantages?

Zirconium veneers do not have any known side effects, making them a safe option for improving both dental aesthetics and oral health. The material used in Zirconium veneers is biocompatible with the gums and teeth, and it helps prevent the development of bacterial infections around the teeth and gums.

How Long Does the Zirconium Veneer Procedure Take?

The application of Zirconium veneers typically takes around five days. For patients who require additional treatments such as Zirconium prosthetics or implants, the process may take longer. Once the appropriate veneers are prepared according to the patient’s dental impressions, they are adhered to the teeth by our expert dental team. After the procedure, patients can return to their daily routines without delay.
