What is a prosthesis?
Prostheses, commonly called crowns or dentures, are artificial teeth made to replace teeth lost for various reasons or to eliminate aesthetic disorders, to enable the person to perform chewing and speaking functions.
Prosthetics and especially crowns are used in the treatment of teeth with excessive material loss. The purpose of prosthetic applications is to make artificial teeth that are compatible with the person's face and can perform chewing and speaking functions as closely as possible to nature.
Metal-supported porcelain veneers
Metal-supported porcelain veneers. As the name suggests, they are made by placing a metal alloy under the porcelain during the construction phase. They are porcelain veneers made using Chromium-Cobalt or Chromium-Nickel alloys that are compatible with the dental tissue and have the required durability.
What is zirconium-supported porcelain?
Zirconium-supported porcelain. Veneers are prostheses that use white-coloured zirconium alloy instead of metal as the infrastructure.
- Zirconium veneers have an aesthetic appearance very close to natural teeth.
- It is much more aesthetic than metal-supported veneers.
- It reflects the light.
- Since white colored alloy is used as the substructure, there is no dark line at the gum line.
- It is 100% compatible with the human body. It does not cause allergic reactions.
Full porcelain veneers
They are made of reinforced porcelain. As the name suggests, no metal or any other material is used in the infrastructure. Full porcelain veneers, which have a higher cost compared to other porcelain veneers, have the closest aesthetic appearance to natural teeth.
Laminate Veneer
Leaf porcelain is also available. Laminate, called Laminate, is an aesthetic application performed on front teeth with aesthetic problems by gluing a layer prepared from porcelain to the front surfaces of the teeth. These veneers made of porcelain are a thin, semi-permeable layer. They are prepared and placed on an existing tooth with perfect fit and precision. Since a very thin layer is removed from the tooth surface, the level of damage to the tooth is minimal. They are very thin and do not contain metal. It is very successful aesthetically with bebi.
