For decades, patients had to choose between strength (metal crowns) and beauty (porcelain). But often, the compromise came with a cost: grey lines at the gum level, allergic reactions, or an unnatural opaque look.
At AKTA Dental Clinic in Lara, Antalya, we believe you shouldn't have to compromise. Enter Zirconium Oxide—the material that has revolutionized modern dentistry. Combining the strength of metal with the aesthetic of natural enamel, Zirconium crowns are the preferred choice for patients seeking a "Medical Luxury" experience.
Why Zirconium? The "Bio-Friendly" Luxury
The most significant advantage of Zirconium is its Biocompatibility. Unlike traditional metal-ceramic crowns, Zirconium is completely tissue-friendly.
No Grey Lines: Metal-based crowns often leave a dark line near the gums as the tissue recedes over time. Zirconium is white based, ensuring your smile stays bright from the gum up.
Gum Health: The material’s smooth surface prevents plaque accumulation, allowing your gums to heal perfectly around the crown. No inflammation, no irritation.
Hypoallergenic: For patients with metal sensitivities, Zirconium is a safe, inert material that the body accepts naturally.
Strength Meets Beauty: A Technical Marvel
Patients often ask: "Will they look fake?" The answer is a resounding no. Zirconium possesses a unique translucency that mimics natural tooth enamel. Light passes through it just like a real tooth, giving it depth and life.
Yet, despite its delicate appearance, it is incredibly strong.
High Fracture Resistance: Ideal for patients who grind their teeth (bruxism). It can withstand the heavy chewing forces of back molars just as well as the aesthetic demands of front teeth.
Durability: With proper care, Zirconium restorations are designed to last for many years, making them a smart long-term investment.
Precision Engineering: The CAD/CAM Advantage
At AKTA Dental, we don't just "make" crowns; we engineer them. Zirconium restorations are crafted using advanced CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing) technology.
Digital Scanning: No more uncomfortable messy impressions. We scan your mouth digitally.
Micron-Level Fit: The crown is milled from a solid block of Zirconium with microscopic precision. This perfect fit prevents bacteria from entering under the crown, protecting the tooth underneath.
Speed & Comfort: Digital workflow means faster turnaround times and a crown that feels natural the moment it is placed.
Is Zirconium Right for You?
Zirconium restorations are versatile and suitable for almost everyone. They are the ideal solution if you:
Want to replace old, metal-fused crowns that look dull or grey.
Have a history of metal allergies.
Need a strong solution for back teeth but still want them to look white.
Are looking for a Hollywood Smile makeover that looks natural, not "plastic."
