Everyone seeks to improve the external shape of their teeth and to get rid of problems that distort their appearance, and that’s why dental cosmetic surgery has emerged to be the best solution to get rid of these problems
Zircon teeth
Zircon is made of zirconium oxide that is made in the form of white powder. Zircon crowns are alternative to titanium, which has been in the lead of this field for many years because of its superiority over titanium such as its natural dental-like aesthetic appearance, and the increased desire to use metal-free compounds.

Solid zircon
As the name suggests, this type of zircon is solid, suitable for teeth that have undergone root treatment, providing support for weak teeth. In addition, its hardness ensures its potential for chewing and squeaking teeth. The steel zircon has a more familiar look than transparent zircon and contains materials that increase its stability, so it is recommended to use for the back teeth.

Transparent Zircon
This type is distinguished by its aesthetic appearance, compared to solid zircon, making it suitable for front teeth dressing. It is also stronger than dental formulations made of porcelain. However, it is not recommended to use transparent zircon if the dental condition needs to be corrected.
Features of Zircon dental formulas
- Resistance to tartar formation on teeth
- provides appropriate mechanical-biological characteristics
- Free of minerals, and therefore suitable for metal allergists.
- Natural dental-like appearance, as its colour can be determined to suit your teeth
- You don’t need metal fillings to keep them solid.
- durability, and thus less likely to break and erode, unlike other substances such as titanium
- Don’t cause any unpleasant smells in the mouth.
- Keeping the mouth and dental bones healthy
- Easy to adjust sizes: thanks to zircon formula and patient-friendly chemical properties,
- Zircon’s teeth do not transmit as much heat and cold as other materials, so they are more comfortable and suitable for their users.
How to take care of zircon crowns
Taking care of zircon formulations can make them a long-term investment. Given zircon’s durability and resistance to external pigmentation, it won’t be difficult to take care of it and its appearance, as you can just do the following:
brush your teeth recurrently with a suitable brush and proper paste that does not cause zircon scratches, as well as use dental floss to remove what’s stuck in it. You should also go to the dentist periodically to make sure your teeth are healthy.

The problems that veneer treats for teeth

- The gap between teeth
- cracks in the teeth.
- broken teeth.
- Inconsistent teeth size
Who are the candidates for the veneer dental work?
The veneer is a cosmetic procedure and not a treatment, so anyone with a dental problem can undergo a dental veneer procedure, and we must emphasize here that it is not used to treat pathological dental problems, the patient who wants to do veneer procedure must have completely healthy teeth with no decay, in good health and do not have any diseases or inflammation.
Lumineers lenses
Lumineers lenses are powerful solutions carried by cosmetic dentistry specialists as a development of the different types of teeth whitening procedures to permanently eliminate teeth problems such as stains and yellowing. the dental Lumineers can alter not only the external shape but also the shape and size of the teeth to make them more consistent.
How Lumineers are fitted to teeth

- If there are missing teeth, the doctor will not be able to install Lumineers until after the implantation because the Lumineers lenses are too thin and will not play the role of a full tooth without the basis of the teeth.
- Your doctor starts the operation without using any anaesthesia or other thing that makes you lose the sensation of your teeth because he won’t need to do any pain-inducing procedure in the first place.
- If the condition allows, the doctor starts installing and attaching the Lumineers to the surface of the original teeth. it takes at least an hour for the doctor to be able to place them carefully, you might need only two consecutive sessions for the doctor to finish placing the Lumineers for all your teeth.
After the installation of the Lumineers for the teeth
- How long the different types of Lumineers can last vary but the average is between 15 and 20 years yet of course it might last less with lack of care, attention and hygiene, especially since you may expose the basis of the teeth itself to problems then you will have to remove it and get rid of its problem.
- One of the most important features of Lumineers is that when you want to remove it, you can simply go back to your doctor again and remove it for you as the doctor has not cut or filed the teeth in any way so they are still in place as they were original.
- On the other hand, some are concerned about the idea that such a thin lens fixed on their teeth will make the process of eating or speaking difficult and feel loose in their mouth, but this is the doctor’s job to adjust the sizes of Lumineers in a way that doesn’t interfere with any vital function. and of course, you will be able to eat everything you like even gum because the Lumineers is removable only by the doctor himself.
