Dental Crowns in Turkey: Restore Your Smile
Crowns and veneers are popular restorative and cosmetic dental procedures that improve the aesthetics and strength of your teeth.
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover a damaged tooth, providing protection and restoring its function. They can be crafted from various materials like porcelain, ceramic, zirconia, or metal, and are commonly used for damaged teeth, large fillings, or supporting dental bridges.
Laminate veneers are thin, tooth-colored shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth to enhance their appearance. Made from porcelain or composite resin, veneers can correct cosmetic issues like gaps, chips, discoloration, or minor misalignments.
We offer several types of crowns to meet your individual needs:
- E.max Crowns: These all-ceramic crowns are made from lithium disilicate, a strong and durable material. Known for their natural look, E.max crowns blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth and are often used for front teeth or for patients with metal allergies.
- Zirconium Crowns: These ceramic crowns are made from zirconium dioxide, a strong and biocompatible material. Zirconium crowns are valued for their natural appearance and ability to withstand chewing forces, making them a good metal-free option, especially for back teeth.
- Porcelain-Metal Crowns: Combining porcelain and metal, these crowns offer a balance of strength and aesthetics. The metal provides durability for biting and chewing, while the porcelain exterior can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, making them suitable for back teeth.
At Safe Medical Travel, we ensure that you have a comfortable and stress-free experience. Our experienced consultants will work with you to select the best material based on your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
What is the dental crown procedure like?
The dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shape it to accommodate the crown. An impression is then taken to build a custom crown, and a temporary crown is inserted. Once the permanent crown is fabricated, the temporary crown is removed and the permanent crown is attached to the tooth. Any necessary adjustments are then made for a comfortable and proper bite.
How do I know if I need a dental crown?
You might need a crown if you have a tooth that is severely damaged, decayed, or weakened. Your dentist will assess your tooth and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Anyone with a severely damaged, decayed, or weakened tooth may benefit from a dental crown. Crowns can also improve the appearance of a tooth or support a dental implant.
What are the benefits of a dental crown and how much does a crown cost?
Crowns restore the function of a damaged tooth, improve its appearance, and protect it from further damage or decay. They can also prevent the need for more complex procedures like root canals.
The cost of a crown varies depending on the type of crown, the tooth's location, and the dentist's fees. Prices can range significantly.
What is involved in the dental crown procedure?
The procedure usually requires two dental visits. The first visit involves tooth preparation, taking an impression, and placing a temporary crown. At the second visit, the permanent crown is fitted and cemented.
How do crowns and bridges help restore a perfect smile and what is the lifespan of a dental crown?
Crowns and bridges restore smiles by replacing damaged or missing teeth. Crowns repair individual teeth, while bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth. This improves chewing, speaking, and boosts confidence.
Crowns typically last 5-15 years or more with proper care, though lifespan depends on material, maintenance, and wear.
