Zirconium tooth construction is a treatment method that can be performed in an average of 7 days, just like porcelain tooth construction. This period can extend up to 10 days in some cases. For zirconium teeth, it is sufficient to come to your dentist in a total of two or three sessions. The main reason why zirconium teeth take 7-10 days is due to the custom tooth measurement being made in the laboratory. Detailed processes are explained in summaries below.
How Long Does the First Session for Zirconium Teeth Take?
You can apply directly to your dentist for zirconium teeth or get a recommendation from your dentist. The first examination, general check-up and radiological imaging do not take more than half an hour in total. At this stage, your tooth measurements are taken with precision instruments. During measurement, your tooth is not numbed and is not subjected to procedures such as abrasion, cutting, or filing. During the second measurement, stages such as filing and cutting are applied. Your teeth may be numbed before this application.
How Long Does the Second Session for Zirconium Teeth Take?
In the second session, custom molds are taken according to your measurements and sent to the laboratory. During the laboratory process, production is carried out using your custom measurements. This process is completed in 3-5 days. The total process takes 7-10 days due to the laboratory process. During this process, tooth thinning, cutting, and filing are performed, and temporary coatings are added to prevent tooth sensitivity.
How Long Does the Third Session for Zirconium Teeth Take?
The final session is called the try-in and application session. Your zirconium teeth from the laboratory are tried in. If corrections are needed, they are made and applied. This procedure also does not take more than half an hour. If you have multiple zirconium teeth, this time may increase a bit. With measurement taking, tooth cutting, examination, check-up, try-in and application, zirconium tooth treatment is completed in a total of 7-10 days.
