Having an aesthetic and durable smile no longer needs to be a long and tiring process. Modern dental technology has both accelerated zirconium crown treatment and maximized patient comfort. At Avrupadent Hospital, ensuring our patients feel comfortable and secure throughout the treatment process is our top priority. In this blog post, we will thoroughly discuss the stages of zirconium crown treatment, the treatment duration, and the patient comfort-focused approaches we offer during this process.
How Long Does Zirconium Crown Treatment Take?
The duration of zirconium crown treatment varies depending on the number of crowns to be placed, the patient’s overall oral health, and the technology used. However, it is generally completed within a short period of 5 to 7 days. While traditional methods took weeks, this process is now much faster and more efficient thanks to modern digital systems.
At Avrupadent Hospital, zirconium crown treatment typically includes the following stages:
Initial Examination and Planning (Day 1): This is the first and most critical step of the treatment. Our specialist dentists perform an oral examination, listen to the patient’s expectations, and take the necessary measurements for digital smile design (DSD).
Tooth Preparation and Impression Taking (Days 1-2): After approval of the digital design, teeth are prepared for crowns. The 3D digital impression of the teeth is taken using special intraoral scanners.
Crown Fabrication (Days 3-5): The digital measurements are sent to our laboratory. Using advanced CAD/CAM systems, zirconium crowns are precisely manufactured.
Trial and Application (Days 5-7): The fit and aesthetics of the crowns are checked intraorally. After any necessary adjustments, the crowns are fixed to the teeth with special adhesives.
Factors Enhancing Patient Comfort During the Treatment
At Avrupadent Hospital, we utilize all the possibilities of modern technology to ensure our patients experience maximum comfort throughout the treatment.
Digital Impression Taking (Tray-Free Scanning)
Traditional impression methods using trays and impression material could be uncomfortable for some patients, especially those with a gag reflex. We have fully digitized this process with our intraoral scanners, making impression taking faster, more precise, and much more comfortable.Painless and Comfortable Procedures
Local anesthesia is applied during tooth preparation, so you won’t feel any pain or discomfort. Thanks to our advanced anesthesia techniques, even patients with needle phobia can comfortably undergo the procedure. Any mild sensitivity after the procedure is managed with appropriate guidance from our doctors.Temporary Crowns (Provisional Restorations)
While your teeth are being prepared and your crowns are being fabricated, temporary crowns are placed to prevent aesthetic concerns. These temporary crowns also protect your teeth from sensitivity and allow you to continue your social life without interruption. Since they are digitally designed and produced, they have an aesthetic appearance.Single-Visit Fast Solution (Same-Day Smile)
In suitable cases, it is possible to renew your smile in a single session. This advanced technology called CEREC enables us to complete the entire process—from taking impressions to milling the crowns—right here in our clinic. Thus, our patients can have a brand-new smile on the same day.
