Laminate and Zirconium Crowns
Laminate and Zirconium Crowns : It is a very thin porcelain that is sticked on the patient’s teeth. Although these porcelains are very thin, they are extremely durable when adhered to the tooth surface.
Porcelain Laminates are the most preferred application.
At the first appointment, our dentist takes measurements of the patient’s teeth and takes pictures. You will be informed about the latest status. The patient’s gums are examined. When an operation is to be performed on the gums, for example, if the teeth are exposed a lot while smiling, the process of shortening the gums, called gingivectomy, is performed. After waiting a few days for the procedure and the gums take their final shape, a very small amount of abrasion is done to make room for the porcelain lamina on the front of the teeth. The measurements taken in the computer environment with a digital scanner are designed in the computer environment or the measurements taken with traditional methods are delivered to the laboratory and in the second session, the treatment of placing the laminae in the mouth is applied.
The advantages of porcelain laminates are that they have a very natural and aesthetic appearance. No one understands the porcelain application, except the person receiving the treatment. Only the front part of the teeth is cut. Since the part of the teeth facing the tongue is the real tooth part, the tongue does not feel any difference.

Zirconium smart ceramics provide bio compatibility and natural appearance with our body. Zirconium oxide, which is a high-tech product and has proven its durability as a heat shield in space shuttles and brake disc in sports cars, is now used by dentists. This technological ceramic, developed for dentistry with the application of zirconium smart ceramics, has a great contribution to prosthetic treatment.
We said that one of the best choices for an aesthetic and impressive smile design is zirconium. Of course, the only difference of this coating method is not that it is more aesthetic. It also has many health benefits. We can list its advantages over other coating treatments as follows:
