For whom are Metal supported porcelain & Zirconia Crowns suitable:

Anyone who:

· Has single or multiple missing teeth due to various reasons,

· Has stained teeth, old fillings, or teeth whose shape has changed,

· Doesn’t want to receive orthodontic treatment,

· Are older than 18 years of age,

can have zirconium or metal supported-ceramic crowns.

Metal-supported porcelain crowns and dental bridges
As one can understand from what they’re called, metal-supported porcelain crowns are made by placing metal alloy under the ceramic. Metal-supported crowns, produced by Chromium-Cobalt or Chromium-Nickel alloys, in line with dental tissue and with the necessary level of durability are created when the ceramic porcelain is covering the metal. Such crowns are affected by the metal underneath. As the metal does not transmit light, a dull appearance, and a dark-colored reflection in parallel to gums are observed. That is why metal-supported crowns are not recommended particularly for frontal teeth due to aesthetic concerns.

 
Zirconia-supported porcelain or monolithic zirconia crowns and dental bridges

Zirconia-supported porcelain crowns are prostheses for which white-colored zirconia alloy is used rather than metal. Zirconia crowns have an aesthetic appearance close to natural teeth and are much more aesthetic compared to metal-supported crowns. They reflect the light. They do not lead to a dark-colored line in parallel to gums as a white-colored alloy is used for the infrastructure. They are 100% in harmony with the human body. They do not cause any allergic reactions. On monolithic zirconia crowns, porcelain is not applied. The entire structure is prepared by 3D printers, and the result is ideally aesthetic.
 


Laminate Veneer

 Laminate veneers also known as leaf porcelain is an aesthetic practice applied to the frontal teeth of those with aesthetic problems and is done by cementing a porcelain layer to the front side of the teeth. These crowns made from porcelain are thin and semi-permeable layers. They are prepared and placed on an existing tooth with perfect harmonization and sensitivity. The harm to the teeth is kept at a minimum level as a thin layer from the dental surface is removed in line with the smile design needs of the patient. It is a very successful method from an aesthetic point of view as they are extremely thin and include no metal.

What are the stages in performing porcelain crowns – dental porcelain bridges?

Your dentist decides upon the treatment based on your wishes after the examination. The relevant teeth are prepared for crowns. Then, the measured dimensions are sent to the dental lab after the right color in harmony with the patient’s skin tone and facial characteristics are chosen. The temporary crowns are prepared and placed within the day. And an appointment for a fitting test is given. Your dentist will test gum harmony, height, and harmony with the adjoining teeth. One more appointment to check the superstructure, which is called the final rehearsal, is provided. When the desired result is achieved in the final rehearsal the process is completed by cementation of the crowns. If any problems appear during the final rehearsal – in terms of height, or incompatibility with adjoining teeth- they are solved by the dentist, and the crowns are sent to the lab one more time. Then you will be provided with an appointment within the day, or the following day and the crowns are cemented. This process can take 7-14 days with 3 or 4 appointments.

Crowns can last for about ten years without any problems. However, you can extend the life span of crowns by brushing at least two times a day, gargling, and using an interdental brush or flossing.

Old crowns might lead to tooth decay, bad breath, receding gums, and the result can be loss of teeth. Therefore, old, and incompatible crowns should be renewed.
