Zirconium and porcelain veneers are common aesthetic procedures used in dentistry to improve look. Although they are two distinct materials, their objective is the same: to restore the appearance and function of the teeth while providing the patient with the greatest smile possible.
Zirconium Veneer
Zirconium is a prominent substance in recent years, and it is one of the newest technological applications employed in dentistry. Zirconium is preferred because it resembles natural teeth in terms of color tone and opacity. It also has a very long lifespan and a natural appearance.
Zirconium veneers are created using CAD/CAM technology, which entails generating a digital model of teeth and measuring them with a computer program. Model; It is computer-machined and fashioned by cutting it with exceptional precision.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are a dental application that has been utilized for a long time. It is applied to teeth to improve their shape, size, color, and usefulness. Because porcelain veneers are more suitable for thin crust layers, they are more routinely employed, particularly on anterior teeth.
Following the digital measuring, porcelain veneers are made individually. The impression is delivered to the dental laboratory, where the veneers are optimally prepared before being adhered to the tooth with a unique adhesive and given the final shape. Porcelain veneers may require more time to create than zirconium veneers.
