Dental Crowns in Turkey

Dental Crowns: All You Need to Know.

The dental crown itself is essentially a ‘cap’ that can be made from a variety of different specialized materials, including metal, ceramic, porcelain, or resin, or a combination of these.

Dental crowns are manufactured to be ultra-hard and durable, so that the patient can regain full function of their entire mouth. In addition, dental crown materials are colour-matched to mimic a wide variety of natural tooth shades so that the dentist can select the best match for the patient. The crown is custom made to fit over the entire tooth, starting at the gumline, in order to restore the tooth to its original shape and size.

If you have damaged teeth that are affecting the appearance and function of your smile, dentist, Dr. Fulya, at our partner VIP clinic in Antalya can recommend dental crowns to restore the teeth. We use ceramic material for a natural, lasting restoration.

Types of Dental Crowns

Permanent dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials. Dental crowns are classified as follows:

Metal Crowns:

Dental crowns can be made from a variety of metals, including gold, palladium, nickel, and chromium. Metal crowns are renowned to endure the longest and are resistant to wear and strain. They do not necessitate the removal of a large piece of your original tooth. Metallic crowns may also withstand strenuous activity including as biting and chewing on hard foods. The primary drawback of a metal crown is its metallic appearance. It is immediately visible and sticks out in a set of typical white teeth. As a result, these crowns are best suited for posterior restorations.

Porcelain Fused-to-Metal Crowns (PFM):

PFM (porcelain fused to metal) crowns look more natural and can be customised to match the surrounding teeth. However, the metallic foundation that holds these crowns in place can be seen at the gumline. They are sturdy due to the metal base and aesthetically beautiful as a result of the porcelain crown. However, for people who clench their teeth, this sort of crown can wear down the teeth opposing it, particularly those that come into contact with the crown.

Zirconia Crowns:

Zirconium is a new kind of element that integrates both strength and aesthetics within a dental crown. Layered Zirconia and High Translucent Zirconia are quite popular with patients nowadays. Zirconia crowns are strong and durable. Their fitting procedure is relatively less time consuming as they can be molded by a dentist in the clinic itself. In addition to that, they are biocompatible, which means they don’t cause any allergic reactions. Yet, zirconia crowns are so strong that their strength can wear down opposing teeth easily.

All-Ceramic Or All-Porcelain Crowns:

These types of dental crowns are the greatest in terms of aesthetics and natural appearance. If you are allergic to metals, all-ceramic or all-porcelain crowns are an excellent option since they are biocompatible. Although their strength and durability are not as great as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, it is essential to take appropriate care of them to guarantee that they endure a long time. Also, if you have bruxism, all-porcelain crowns aren’t the greatest option; instead, choose a Zirconia Crown.

e.Max: Lithium Disilicate Crowns:

e.Max crown, the latest innovation in dental crowns, is extremely durable and highly aesthetic. It is made from lithium disilicate ceramic, a material that is known for its translucent color and durability. These last longer than any other kind of dental crown and look exactly like natural teeth. e-Max crowns are the best in the market right now, although they are a bit pricey. For a dental crown, an E-max has it all: quality, durability, strength, and the natural look, so the price is also worth it.

When selecting a material for your crown, your dentist will take into account aspects such as:

• The location of your tooth.
• How much portion of that tooth will be visible when you smile?
• What kind of functions does the tooth perform?
• What is the position of your gum tissue?
• How much natural tooth will remain?
• What is the color of the adjoining teeth?

Dental Crowns: Takeaway

How to Choose a Dentist

When placed by a qualified and experienced cosmetic dentist, crowns have a stunningly natural look. To better ensure a satisfactory outcome, patients should be highly selective in choosing their dentist. Although many dentists offer veneers, the best results are more likely to come from those who have an extensive background in cosmetic dentistry in general and veneers in particular.

Specialists at our partner clinic, Vivi Dental Clinic, are trained, qualified and equipped to provide dental crown service to international patients.

Life Expectancy

Depending on the type of dental material used, the average lifespan of a crown is around 10-15 years. However, with proper care, good dental hygiene habits, and regular dental check-ups, your new crowns can last for decades.

Your dentist will talk to you about the durability, and other pros and cons of each type of material to help you determine the best type of crown for your needs.
