One of the main features of zirconium veneers is down to its high strength and ability to totally transform a smile. Zirconium veneers also have the ability to have a slight transparency to give the aesthetic of a natural tooth structure. This benefit gives an appearance that is close to the actual structure with similarity to the natural tooth structure and enamel (very similar to emax veneers or crowns).

In the past, dental clinics across the world have used an opaque material to manufacture veneers and crowns which can give a white appearance but does not compare with modern zirconium capabilities. The fact that zirconium offers less health damaging issues in comparison to older material choices, makes it possible for customers to choose it with their safety and health in mind. For zirconium full veneers/crowns to be fitted the natural teeth do require to go through a filing/shaving process so that the new teeth can essentially be cemented over the top using a strong adhesive. Our dentists will always do the upmost to file the minimum amount of natural tooth leaving a maximum material condition.

Our dentists spend a huge amount of their time designing and fitting some dazzling zirconia veneers, and have the practice down to a fine art. However, with added quality comes a little more time, meaning the process for creating zirconia veneers can take 7-10 days to complete. The procedure is very similar to other veneer fittings: An initial assessment is carried out to check that a zirconia veneer is a viable option for the patient, whether any tooth preparation is required, and then a mould is taken from which the veneer will be crafted over the next few days.

Once the zirconia veneer is made and all preparation work completed, a second appointment is made during which time, a trial fitting will take place, and any adjustments are noted and made. Porcelain may be used in addition for the zirconia to achieve the desired colouring. Finally, the adhesive is applied by a skilled practitioner, and the zirconia veneer is fitted.

Due to the strength of these high-class dental veneers, relatively little after-care is required, however you will receive some aftercare advice, and can then enjoy the rest of your time in Turkey.

To look at zirconia’s natural sheen, you may be surprised to know that it is actual a metal –zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) – technically related to titanium which is one of the reasons that the veneers are so strong.
