Zirconium Dental Crown

Zirconium is a white alloy used instead of the gray metal framework found in traditional porcelain bridges and dentures, often applied due to tooth loss. Beyond aesthetic purposes, the main reasons for using zirconium include:

• Treating advanced discoloration that cannot be corrected with whitening methods

• Restoring teeth with significant material loss

• Placing bridges or crowns on posterior teeth

• Covering implant-supported prosthetics in the anterior region

• Achieving smile aesthetics

Additionally, zirconium is used for separated, crooked, rotated teeth, and old fillings that have deteriorated over time. Due to its light-transmitting properties, zirconium provides a natural tooth-like appearance. Unlike traditional porcelain crowns with metal bases that appear dull and artificial, zirconium crowns offer a more vibrant and radiant look.
