Dental Crowns in Turkey

A dental crown also called a dental cap, is a dental restoration that fits over an existing tooth, giving it an improved natural appearance. Dental crowns are an option for restoring weak, decayed, or broken teeth. Most crowns have porcelain, gold, or a combination of both materials.

When is a dental crown necessary?

Dental crown procedure

Before getting a dental crown, the dentist will assess your teeth and take dental x-rays to determine the extent of damage and if crowns are the right treatment. You will also have digital scans of the tooth to be sent to the dental lab. The dentist will fit a temporary crown over the damaged tooth.

At Smile Works Turkey, we use the iTero digital scanning system. The handheld device gives a 3D image of the teeth, unlike the traditional rubber mould. With the iTero scanner, we can send the digital image of your teeth via an electronic channel to the lab, which speeds up the manufacturing processes of the dental crown.

The iTero digital scanner overcomes the issue of taking traditional moulds and impressions to make dental crowns. When the permanent crowns are available, you will have an appointment for the fitting.

Types of dental crowns

All-ceramic crown

All-ceramic crowns are transparent, with no grey metal areas. You can use them on your front teeth as they do not show a grey margin over time.

Metal ceramic crown

The metal crowns are usually fitted on the back teeth. They have a metal core and porcelain material, but the thin porcelain layer breaks easily.

All zirconium crown

The all zirconium crown is suitable for the back teeth. They don’t contain porcelain, and the risk of breakage is less. Fitting all zirconium crowns does not require much drilling as the gold crown.

Gold crown

Dental crowns FAQs

Will I need a dental crown?

People get dental crowns for different reasons. You can get a dental crown if your tooth is discoloured from an earlier procedure, filling, or decay. A dental crown can protect a damaged tooth.

If you have a severe toothache, schedule an appointment with your dentist to know if a dental crown is a right solution.

How long does a dental crown last?

A dental crown can last for 5 – 15 years, but with a good dental hygiene routine and regular dental check-ups, your crown can last for as long as 25 – 30 years.

Will the crown be visible?

The dentist will choose a crown that fits the existing tooth colour to make the crown less visible and give you a perfect smile.

Will I notice any difference after fitting a crown?

The tooth fitted with a crown will be slightly different from other teeth, but the tooth with blend with the rest of your mouth after a couple of days. You can also schedule an appointment to make adjustments if the crown doesn’t match other teeth.

How many appointments does getting a crown need?

A dental crown procedure will take at least two appointments. On your first visit, the dentist will prepare the tooth and take impressions before fitting the temporary crown. On the second visit, the dentist will remove the temporary crown and fit the final crown, then make final adjustments before cementing the crown in place.

Will I need to replace old crowns?

If your dental crown wears down or becomes damaged, you can schedule an appointment to get a temporary crown until the permanent one is ready. If you had your crown several years ago, it would have older material, so you can choose newer ones like porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns to restore your smile.
