Zirconia Crown Cost 2024

In recent years, the importance individuals place on aesthetics has significantly increased, and this trend has been reflected across almost all branches of healthcare. With the advancement of technology, the variety and quality of aesthetic procedures in dentistry have greatly improved.

In cases of excessive material loss, decay, or fractures in teeth, there is a need for dental crowns, also known as dental veneers. Dental veneers can be made of metal-supported porcelain, porcelain, or zirconium material. Among these, zirconium is the most aesthetic. Additionally, due to special firing processes, they are durable and resistant. They have good compatibility with the gums and their high translucency resembles natural teeth.

The aesthetic advantages of zirconium over porcelain have increased its popularity in recent times. The biggest disadvantage is that it is more expensive compared to porcelain. In all full-mouth veneer applications, in order to keep the prices at more reasonable levels, zirconium is often preferred for anterior teeth, while porcelain applications are preferred for posterior teeth.

When determining zirconium prices, many variables are taken into account. These include the number of teeth needing veneers, whether the tooth requiring veneers needs filling or root canal treatment, the experience of the dentist, the type and quality of zirconium to be used, the quality of the laboratory working on the case, the quality of the impression materials used, and whether digital support will be utilized.

Since many materials used in dentistry are imported, it can be said that exchange rates have an impact on pricing. Additionally, the base price list updated annually by the Turkish Dental Association is also taken into account when determining zirconium prices.
