Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a type of dental restoration designed to cover and protect a damaged tooth. It fits over the existing tooth structure, restoring its strength, shape, and color to closely resemble a natural tooth, blending seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.

In Turkey, you can find high-quality dental crowns at much more affordable prices compared to other locations. You might save up to 70% on your dental treatment costs. For more details and to arrange a free consultation, please contact us.

Who Might Require a Dental Crown?

A dental crown proves to be a versatile cosmetic treatment for those desiring a revitalized smile. Effectively masking imperfections, dental crowns provide the opportunity to achieve the desired smile. These tooth-shaped overlays are placed atop your existing teeth, offering a natural appearance indistinguishable from your original teeth. Dental crowns are recommended in the following situations:

  1. Shielding a fragile tooth from potential cracks.
  2. Stabilizing a fractured tooth.
  3. Encasing a tooth with minimal remaining structure.
  4. Providing a foundation for a dental bridge.
  5. Masking a tooth with noticeable discoloration.
  6. Filling gaps left by a dental implant.
  7. Sealing a void after a root canal procedure.

What does the process of getting a dental crown involve?

At Gordion Dental Clinic, the dental veneer procedure typically involves 2 or 3 sessions:

  • Initial Assessment: The procedure begins with an examination and X-rays. If needed, preliminary treatments such as a deep cleaning or root canal may be performed. The next phase involves preparing the tooth for the crown, which includes numbing the area and removing a portion of the tooth’s surface to accommodate the crown. An impression of your teeth will be made, and a temporary crown will be placed until the permanent one is ready.
  • Second Appointment: During this visit, the temporary veneer is taken off, and the new dental veneer is fitted and adjusted to ensure a perfect bite. Once the fit is satisfactory for both you and your dentist, the veneer is permanently bonded to your tooth. This procedure usually takes around 5-6 days to complete.

What Is the Ideal Material for a Dental Crown?

The choice of material for a dental crown depends on several factors. Two commonly used options are:

Zirconia Crown:

  • Monolithic Zirconia Crown: Created from solid zirconia blocks with advanced CAD/CAM technology, this type of crown provides exceptional strength and durability. However, it may lack some aesthetic qualities due to its reduced translucency.
  • Layered Zirconia Crown: These crowns blend the robust qualities of full zirconia with a ceramic layer for enhanced aesthetics, particularly in visible areas. This combination offers both durability and a natural appearance. At our dental center, we favor layered zirconia crowns for their optimal balance of strength and visual appeal.

Emax Crown:

All-ceramic crowns offer outstanding aesthetic results, making them ideal for front teeth where appearance is crucial. However, their glass-based structure makes them less suitable for high-pressure areas like molars, as they are more susceptible to fractures under heavy loads.

ZirCAD Prime Crown:

The latest addition to the IPS e.max system delivers both exceptional strength and top-notch aesthetics. This versatile solution is ideal for a range of restorative treatments, including single-tooth crowns and extensive 14-unit bridges.

How to Maintain Your Dental Crowns

  • Brush your teeth thoroughly, ideally twice daily.
  • Opt for toothpaste designed for sensitive teeth if necessary.
  • Make sure to floss every day.
  • If you tend to grind or clench your teeth, think about using a night guard.

What is the Lifespan of Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns typically last around 15 years with proper care. Their durability depends on maintaining good oral health, which includes regular dental visits and a diligent hygiene routine.

What is the Cost of a Complete Set of Veneers in Turkey?

The price of a complete set of veneers in Turkey can vary depending on factors such as oral health, the type of veneers chosen, and the number of veneers required. The number of veneers needed is determined by evaluating the smile line, with options typically ranging from 20 to 28 veneers based on individual requirements.
