One of the most frequently used treatments today is zirconia crown crowns. So why do we prefer it so much? Because we benefit from the advantages of zirconia crowns in many different subjects. As Adalya Antalya Dental Clinic, we often use zirconia crowns in teeth that have lost their form and aesthetics, bridge teeth and implant-supported prostheses, according to the patients’ requests.
Read on to find out the advantages of zirconia crowns!
What are Zirconia Crowns:
Zirconium is a material that does not contain metal, is white in color and found in nature. Coatings are divided into those with and without metal support. Therefore, zirconia crowns are also included in the group of dental veneers without metal support.
Zirconia crowns have many advantages over metal-supported crowns. The most important advantage of zirconia crowns is that they are much more aesthetically pleasing than metal-supported crowns. Therefore, they provide the natural tooth image exactly.
Advantages of Zirconia Crowns
The advantages of zirconia crowns are many compared to other dental treatments. We can say that it is a treatment method where aesthetics and durability meet at the maximum level. Let’s take a look at these headlines one by one.
Advantages of Zirconia Crowns: Naturalness and Aesthetic
First of all, zirconia crowns allow us to obtain a more natural dental image compared to metal-supported porcelains. Because metal-supported porcelains do not transmit light as much as zirconia crowns. Due to the metal support under the porcelain, the teeth have a darker matte appearance. However, zirconium crowns have high light transmittance and look much more aesthetic. Therefore, it is one of the most commonly preferred treatments in aesthetic dental treatments.
Advantages of Zirconia Crowns: Healthy
Zirconia crowns have a very high biological compatibility with the body. In this way, people use their zirconium teeth in harmony with soft tissues such as gums, cheeks, lips and tongue. Due to the absence of metal in it, it does not cause gingival discoloration in the areas where the zirconium veneers meets the gingiva. Therefore, we prefer zirconia crowns in Turkey for gingival health.

Durability
One of the most important advantages of zirconia crowns is that they are more durable than other aesthetic veneers. So what are these veneers? These; laminate veneers, emax full ceramic crowns and composite veneers.
However, the best alternative to zirconia crowns is emax crowns. Because aesthetically, Emax crowns are the most similar to natural teeth. If it is not as strong as zirconium, it is strong enough and breaking resistance is very high. We use emax crowns in Turkey more often for our patients with higher aesthetic concerns.
Composite bonding in Turkey application is one of the intensively used treatments. It is preferred in some cases instead of laminate veneers in Turkey. The purposes of use of both treatments are actually similar.
As the aesthetic features come to the fore in teeth, we have to make some concessions about the durability of the material. This is also true for Emax crowns and laminate veneers. However, zirconia crowns are much more resistant to chewing pressures and cross forces. Therefore, according to these treatment options, the durability advantages of zirconia crowns come to the fore.
Preparation
Zirconia crowns adhere in full harmony with the teeth prepared by cutting. Because these teeth are calculated in computer programs according to the measurements taken and prepared in the laboratory environment.
As it is produced with Cad-Cam technology, zirconiums fit on the prepared tooth flawlessly. It is ensured that the gap between the veneer and the tooth is only as much as the adhesive material. In this way, the risk of caries formation under the coating is reduced to almost zero.
Disadvantages of Zirconia Crowns
While zirconia crowns have many advantages, they also have a primary disadvantage. This is the necessity of cutting the teeth all around. In Emax and laminate veneers, we cut less than teeth in our dental clinic in Antalya.
In Emax crowns, we also make an all-round impression from the tooth. However, emax crowns allow us to make less in the tooth that we will cut. In case of missing teeth, a cut is not made from the neighboring teeth. We use dental implants in Turkey Antalya extensively for missing teeth.
However, in veneer options, zirconia crowns are the most prominent treatments that allow robust, safe, aesthetic and error-free applications. By taking advantage of these advantages of zirconia crowns, we can provide our patients with the functional and aesthetic teeth they demand.
