Zirconium is a material widely used in dentistry in recent years. This material is a durable, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing option for dental restorations.

​

Zirconium is a white, hard metal that can be used beneath ceramic and porcelain coatings. This metal has a natural color that reflects the natural whiteness of teeth. Additionally, zirconium is suitable for individuals with metal allergies.

​

Zirconium can be used in various ways for dental restorations. These include:

​

• Zirconium bridges: Used to replace one or more missing teeth, the bridge is attached to the teeth on either side of the gap, filling the space.

• Zirconium implants: Zirconium implants serve as artificial tooth roots and are placed into the jawbone. A porcelain crown is then placed on top.

• Zirconium crowns: Zirconium, with a color close to natural teeth, is a popular choice for dental crowns.

 

As a result, zirconium is a strong, durable, and aesthetically pleasing option in dentistry. However, since every patient is unique, dentists should collaborate with the patient to determine the appropriate treatment method for each case
