What is Zirconium Crown?
Zirconium dental coating (zirconium crown) is a restoration method that covers the entire surface of the tooth, is resistant to biting forces and at the same time looks aesthetically natural. Since it does not contain metal, it eliminates the darkening of the gums caused by metal and offers results close to the appearance of natural teeth thanks to its light transmittance.
At Clinic Marmara, zirconium applications are supported by digital impression (intraoral scanner) and CAD/CAM technology. The cutting amount of the tooth is planned to be kept as minimum as possible.
