1-Laminate Veneer
Why?
Laminate Veneers
Laminate Veneers are the process of covering the anterior surfaces of the anterior teeth, which are not aesthetic, with fine porcelains without causing excess material loss.
It is a cosmetic treatment option used in cases that disrupt aesthetics such as discoloration, gaps between teeth, tooth deformities that do not improve with tooth whitening.
After deciding on the planned smile design with laminate veneers, some shaping or roughening is done in the teeth. Afterwards, the recording of the teeth is transferred to the laboratory with the measurement process. Appropriate color selection is made together with the patient. Then, laminate veneers prepared in the laboratory are adhered to the tooth surfaces with the help of an adhesive system.

Who Can Have Laminate Veneer?
In cases of advanced discoloration where the desired result cannot be obtained with teeth whitening treatment, the desired color can be obtained with laminate veneers.
​
Laminate veneers can be used in patients with mild crooked or gaping teeth who do not want to undergo orthodontic treatment.
​
It is applied to remove the unaesthetic appearance in over-colored and large-volume old fillings.
​
It is an ideal treatment option for broken or cracked teeth.
Laminate veneer is a correct treatment choice for teeth with symmetry between anterior teeth.
​

In Which Situations Laminate Veneer Cannot Be Applied?
People with jaw incompatibility problems
​
Patients with advanced orthodontic problems,
​
Patients with advanced clenching (bruxism) problems,
​
Patients with gum disease
​
Patients with bad habits such as nail biting and pen biting
Those who have a smile design must have oral hygiene after the treatment.
They should be very careful and should not neglect their routine checks.

2-Zirconium Crown
The coating process made around the tooth with the help of zirconium material is called zirconium dental coating. Zirconium coating makes the teeth look natural, strengthened and resistant to abrasion.
In metal-supported porcelain crowns, a metal support is first made to support the porcelain and prevent breakage, and the porcelain is processed on it. In crown or bridge prosthesis made with zirconium, white colored zirconium alloy, which is as durable as metal, is used instead of this metal infrastructure. In this way, zirconium crowns have a much more aesthetic and natural appearance compared to classical metal-supported porcelain. Prostheses that use zirconium alloy instead of metal in the crown infrastructure are called zirconium crowns. Since the zirconium crown is a very durable alloy, it is also used in crown bridges both in the anterior and posterior regions. Thanks to the developing technology, it has gained a very wide usage area in recent years.

In which cases is a Zirconium Crown made?
Used when both aesthetics and durability are required.
​
Used in cases where there is a missing tooth in the anterior region.
​
Teeth whitening can be preferred if sufficient efficiency cannot be obtained.
​
It can be preferred in teeth with deformities of shape and posture.
​
Smile design can be preferred by people who want to have it done.
​
People with dark teeth may prefer zirconium dental veneer treatment.

In Which Cases Zirconium Crown Cannot be made?
Missing tooth in anterior region
If it is not available and a smile for aesthetic purposes
if designing
Laminate veneer or emax crowns, which are more aesthetic according to the condition of the tooth, should be preferred.
Bridges with very long stems may have a chance of breaking.

3-Emax Crown

What is Emax Crown ?
What are the Advantages of Full Ceramic (Emax) Crowns ?
Thanks to its light transmittance, it is possible to remove tooth discoloration and crowding in teeth with Emax crowns, which give the most aesthetic results today. With the Emax crown application, first teeth are made that are compatible with the person's face, closest to nature, and that will fulfill the chewing and speaking functions in the most comfortable way.
​
The light permeability of Emax crowns gives them a natural tooth appearance. They are much superior to metal-supported porcelains in anterior teeth, where aesthetics is important. Metal-backed porcelains look dull and very artificial in the front area that receives intense light.
Metal-supported porcelains are attached to the tooth mechanically, full-ceramic porcelains are superior in terms of retention as they are mechanically and chemically bonded to the tooth.
Metal-supported porcelains sometimes cause a dark appearance at the junction with the gingiva. Sometimes they cause the gums to turn purple. Since there is no metal content in all-ceramic veneer crowns, such aesthetic problems are not encountered.
Since its biocompatibility is much better than metal, it does not cause allergic reactions and irritations in the gums.

4-Metal Backed Porcelain
Metal-backed porcelain tooth; It is done to protect damaged teeth. It is produced by fusing porcelain under high temperature on a metal infrastructure. Metal; It provides the durability and stability required by the tooth, and white porcelain provides a good aesthetic appearance.
Smile Design
What are the Advantages of Metal Backed Porcelain Coating?
Provides very successful results in crown bridge restorations
Metal-supported porcelain crowns offer an aesthetic appearance at an affordable price. It is a very aesthetic application like full ceramic coatings and at the same time it is much more economical than full ceramic coating application. For this reason, it is very popular.
Crowns obtained by this method are extremely strong and resistant to cracks and breaks. Because of this feature, this application will be an ideal choice for restoring the teeth in the posterior region. Metal-supported porcelain veneers are also recommended for patients who have problems such as clenching or grinding their teeth.
