Zirconium Veneers

Usage Areas of Zirconium Veneers

Zirconium Veneers are thin shells of ceramic made for you; the Veneers cover the front surface of teeth. They can: 

• Improve the teeth's appearance to make them look brighter. 
• Protect the surface of teeth from damage.
• Last many years with the proper care as they are durable. 
• Repair tooth damage, undo discoloration, and close gaps between teeth. 
• Be an excellent alternative to traditional crowns.

Temporary veneers may be used to protect the teeth while the permanent zirconium veneers are being created, and can be easily removed once the permanent veneers are ready to be bonded to the teeth. 

In addition to their aesthetic benefits, Zirconium Veneers offer many advantages over other dental restorations. They are more comfortable for the patient, as they require less preparation of the tooth structure. They also look more natural and can match the adjacent teeth shade for a seamless, natural-looking result. Zirconium Veneers are more resistant to staining than traditional porcelain Veneers, making them a great long-term option for a beautiful smile.

• With the right care and maintenance, the results can last many years.

• They are made of biocompatible Zirconium dioxide created for the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. 

• They are commonly used to treat cosmetic dental issues, like repairing chipped teeth and filling in the gaps of uneven teeth. 

• Zirconium Veneers can change the color of stained or discolored teeth and repair teeth that have been chipped or broken.

• They can improve teeth shape and symmetry, and close gaps between teeth, giving a more uniform and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Care of Zirconium Veneers

It’s always important to maintain and care for your Veneers to last a long time. While they don’t need special care and are often low-maintenance, you need to do the basics right to maintain the look you and your cosmetic dentist worked together for. The following are the recommendations you should inculcate in your daily routine: 

• Brush your teeth twice daily with a non-abrasive toothpaste.
• Floss daily as an important part of your oral hygiene routine to ensure your Veneers are in top condition.
• Avoid biting or chewing on hard objects as it can cause serious damage to your Veneers and can result in costly repairs. 
• Limit your consumption of drinks that cause discoloration, such as coffee and tea.
• Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and maintenance that enhances the long-term health of your Veneers and overall oral hygiene. 
• Avoid grinding your teeth at night as it can cause damage to your dental Veneers, which can be expensive to replace, or use a mouthguard to reduce teeth pressure.

The Difference Between Emax Veneers and Zirconium Veneers

Emax Veneers are made of a type of ceramic material that is known for its strength, durability, and aesthetic qualities. Emax Veneers are translucent and can be customized to match the natural color of your teeth, creating a realistic and natural-looking smile. They are thinner than zirconium veneers, and they require less tooth preparation, making them a more conservative option.

Zirconium Veneers are made of a type of ceramic material that is known for its strength and durability. Zirconium Veneers are opaque and are thicker than Emax veneers, which means they require more tooth preparation. They are an excellent choice for patients who have severely stained, discolored, or damaged teeth, as they can provide excellent coverage and camouflage of underlying tooth structure.

Emax Veneers are a conservative and aesthetic option that can provide a natural-looking smile, while Zirconium Veneers are a more durable and opaque option that can provide excellent coverage for severely stained, discolored, or damaged teeth. 

Ultimately, the choice between the two will be determined on your individual needs, goals, and the recommendations of your dentist.
