Differences Between Zirconium Veneer and Porcelain Veneer

Dental veneers are thin, customized covers that fit over your natural teeth. They are intended to cover the front surfaces of your teeth and improve the overall appearance of your smile, creating a more symmetrical appearance without the need for surgery.

Veneers, a very convenient solution for damaged teeth, are also widely researched by people with no health issues due to their aesthetic stance. So, when it comes to veneers, which one is better? What's the difference between zirconium veneer and porcelain veneer? Let's take a look at it.

Differences Between Zirconium Veneer and Porcelain Veneer

Differences Between Zirconium Veneer and Porcelain Veneer

What is Zirconium Veneer, and Why is It Applied?

Zirconium is a white, solid material used as an infrastructure material in aesthetic and clinical dentistry. When there is severe tooth decolourization and damage, zirconium material may be preferred. For example, zirconium veneers are the first solution that comes to mind when gaps in the teeth cannot be closed with fillings or when fractures cannot be repaired simply by filling applications.

The main difference between zirconium veneer and porcelain veneer is that it can be applied to even the most damaged teeth. Because as we will see, this is not the case with porcelain veneers.

What are the Advantages of Zirconium Veneer?

  • Because of their high light transmittance, zirconium veneers provide the closest match to natural tooth structure and appearance. Thanks to its ability to reflect and absorb light, this light permeability creates a highly elegant and natural-looking aesthetic. So, with Zirconium Veneers, you can be sure that you will not have dull-looking teeth.
  • Zirconium Veneers are robust and durable. Zirconium teeth are attached to the tooth in both mechanical and chemical ways. So, if you have a single tooth loss, Zirconium Veneer will bond very well with the natural tooth structure.
  • Sometimes, tooth stains due to coffee and tea consumption and tartar may occur in the veneers. But with zirconium veneers, that possibility is minimal, which is another difference between zirconium veneer and porcelain veneer. Because that possibility may be slightly higher in porcelain veneers, although not much; additionally, another advantage of zirconium is that it does not cause any allergic reactions or other complications. Hence, once it is applied, you can easily continue your life.
  • For gum disease patients, zirconium is the best option because it is the most adaptable alloy.

I’ve wanted to do a nose job in turkiye for a long time already, after a long research my decision fell on milano clinic in istanbul. One week after my successful rhinoplasty i am able to tell that each of their employees are being very friendly and helpful to me. I had not one bad experience, furthermore I always were able to contact my patient coordinators seyda and berk over the entire day, whenever i needed help or had any questions. Overall i had a great experience and would recommend milano clinic to everyone who would love to get a rhinoplasty.🥰❤️❤️

I had a breast lift and reduction by Milano Klinik late last year, I never could have imagined the results that they have been able to achieve, my only regret is that I didn't have the operation sooner!
