Who Is Zirconium Crown Applied To?
Although there is no special criterion for patients who want to have a zirconium crowning, it may be put on hold in some cases.
For patients whose tooth structure is not fully established, it is generally recommended to wait until the age of 18. Since the tooth and jaw structure can grow, the zirconium crowning made may be small.
Apart from this, there are patients who clench their teeth due to psychological problems, have their teeth locked, and have a habit of gnawing hard objects. These patients are recommended to have a treatment first and then a zirconium crowning. Because even though it is in a solid structure, zirconium crowning can also be damaged like natural teeth.
Except for these exceptional cases;
- Those who have broken in their teeth,
- Those who have decayed and damaged teeth,
- Those who aim to whiten the color of the teeth in cases where the teeth whitening process is insufficient,

- Those whose teeth are separated due to gingival recession,
- Those whose gums are too high or low,
