Zirconium
Zirconium is a type of metal discovered in the 18th century, known for its white color and light-transmitting properties. In dentistry, it is used as the underlying material for ceramic crowns.
Zirconium, commonly known as zirconium dental veneers, is a treatment method. If your teeth are cracked, broken, or unresponsive to whitening procedures, zirconium veneers are the most suitable method to achieve aesthetic satisfaction. While dental veneers can be applied with different types of metals, zirconium is preferred for its light-transmitting properties, which result in more natural and aesthetic outcomes.
