How Are Zirconium Crowns Applied?

Dental Examination and Planning
The dentist evaluates your oral health and determines whether you are suitable for a crown. A necessary treatment plan is created.

Tooth Preparation
The excessive enamel is slightly worn off, and the teeth are shaped for the crown. This procedure causes minimal damage to the natural structure of the tooth.

Impressions and Mold Making
Impressions taken from the teeth are made in a way that ensures the zirconium crowns fit perfectly and are sent to the laboratory.

Crown Production
Based on the impressions, zirconium crowns are custom-made in the laboratory and carefully prepared to ensure aesthetic compatibility.

Placement of Crowns
The zirconium crowns are placed on the teeth and bonded with a special adhesive. Finally, the fit and aesthetics of the teeth are checked.

Is There Pain or Discomfort?

During the zirconium crown procedure, local anesthesia is applied to the treatment area, so no pain or discomfort is felt. However, there may be short-term sensitivity or discomfort in the teeth after the procedure. This sensitivity generally disappears within a few days, and the patient can comfortably continue daily activities. Since zirconium crowns provide aesthetically satisfying results without damaging the teeth, the procedure is usually pain-free.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

The zirconium crown application is usually completed in 2-3 sessions. In the first session, tooth preparation is done, and necessary measurements are taken. After the measurements are taken, the zirconium crowns are sent to the laboratory and are ready within approximately 1 week. In the second session, the crowns are placed on the teeth, and the procedure is completed. The total time can vary depending on the patient’s tooth structure and treatment process, but it generally takes 7-10 days.

How Many Days Does It Take to Heal?

The healing process after zirconium crowns is quite fast. There may be slight swelling or sensitivity in the gums within the first few days, but this heals quickly. Most patients can return to their normal life within 3-5 days after the procedure. The complete healing process, with the teeth and gums fully adapting, is completed within 1-2 weeks.
