Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a protective dental covering made to improve the strength and appearance of damaged or impaired teeth. Dental crowns, also known as dental caps, can be made of materials such as porcelain, metal, ceramic, or resin.  In personalized evaluations, your dentist will make a detailed plan according to which crown material is needed, which teeth need to be crowned, and the extent of the damage.  

• Dental crowns are used to repair and protect damaged teeth where fillings are inadequate to improve the appearance of advanced stained teeth,
• To improve the alignment and adjust the size of misshapen teeth,
• To cover the implant that replaces the missing tooth,
• Providing both aesthetic and functional benefits, dental crowns are a big part of your smile design.
• Restoring teeth damaged by dental caries.
• Correction of tooth deformities.
• Repairing teeth damaged by trauma.
• Providing strong support after root canal treatment.

A dental crown is a restorative dental device, usually made of ceramic, metal, or a ceramic-metal mixture, that covers and protects a damaged, weakened, or deformed tooth.  Dental crowns can improve the aesthetic appearance of the tooth, increase its durability, and provide functional improvements by being placed on the tooth in a customized way.  

Dental Crown Material Options

• Ceramic Crowns: An aesthetic option, ceramic crowns can be produced in the color closest to the natural tooth color.  They are especially used on the front teeth.  
• Metal Ceramic Crowns: Metal-supported ceramic crowns consist of a ceramic outer crown supported by a metal substructure.
• Full Metal Crowns: These are durable but aesthetically less attractive crowns made of metals such as gold alloys, which are used especially on the back teeth.

• Individuals with Advanced Dental Cavities:

  If tooth decay cannot be treated with a filling or if the tooth has already been treated with a filling and has deteriorated again, a dental crown may be preferred.

• Those with Broken or Cracked Teeth:

  If a tooth is broken or cracked due to trauma or injury, they may choose a dental crown treatment to cover and protect the damaged tooth.

• People Who Have Undergone Root Canal Treatment:

  Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment are often more vulnerable and dental crown treatment may be preferred to prevent fracture and restore the tooth to its former health.

• Applicants for Cosmetic Improvement:

  Dental crowns are also used for cosmetic purposes.  Discolored, misshapen or badly sized teeth can be restored into the desired appearance with dental crowns.  

• Patients with Worn-Out Teeth:

  Teeth that are excessively worn down due to bruxism (teeth grinding) or other factors can benefit from dental crowns to restore their natural size, shape and function.  However, using night plaque after dental crowns plays a very important role in prolonging the life of dental crowns.  

• Individuals With Misaligned Bites:

  Patients who do not prefer braces can use it to correct and improve one or more misaligned teeth.  They can help create a more neat and balanced smile.  

• Patients Seeking Dental Bridge Support:

  If you think it is too early for implants or if you are looking for a more budget-friendly alternative, dental crowns are for you.  Dental crowns are often used to fix dental bridges.  If you are missing one or more teeth and are considering a dental bridge, crowns can be placed on adjacent teeth to provide support for the bridge.  

• Patients with Extremely Discolored Teeth:

  Teeth with severe internal stains that do not respond well to teeth whitening procedures may be candidates for dental crowns to improve the appearance of the teeth.

Turkey hosts patients from all over the world, especially since, compared to many countries in the world, the cost of healthcare services to the patient is almost one-fourth of the price compared to countries such as the European Union countries, England, America, Canada and Australia.

Dental treatment is among the highest quality health services you can receive in Turkey.

• Porcelain or Ceramic Crowns:

  This is very important in obtaining a natural tooth and an even tooth appearance.  They are usually used for the restoration of teeth that appear noticeable in the smile area.  They are a highly preferred type of crown because they can be matched with the color of the natural tooth.  

• Metal Crowns:

  Metal crowns are usually composed of various metal alloys such as gold, nickel or chromium, making them a naturally durable and strong type of crown.  It is preferred because it puts less stress on natural teeth, especially when biting and chewing.  Metal crowns are typically positioned in invisible parts of the smile for aesthetic appearance as well as being more functionally durable.  

• Porcelain-Fused to Metal (PFM) Crowns:

  PFM crowns are crowns made of metal alloys (gold or silver alloys) for the core, coated with a layer of porcelain for aesthetics and durability.  

  PFM veneers are a type of crown that combines the strength of two layers of metal and the closeness of porcelain to natural teeth.  It is formed by combining porcelain material on a metal substructure.  It can be preferred for both back and front teeth as it does not cause aesthetic concerns.  

• Full Ceramic or Full Porcelain Crowns:

  Full ceramic or full porcelain veneers are created with a design that resembles natural tooth enamel, with no metal inside.  They are preferred because they offer a natural appearance and are completely biocompatible in individuals with metal allergies.  It offers a natural and radiant result as they are light-transmissive.  This type of crown should be recommended by your dentist according to the suitability of the case.  

• Zirconia Crowns:

  Zirconia crowns are extremely durable and highly resistant to fractures due to the natural structure of the zirconium dioxide material.  It is aesthetically compatible with natural teeth and is completely biocompatible.  As well as their durability, they can be used on both front and back teeth as they do not cause aesthetic concerns.  

• E-Max Crowns:

  As well as their durability, they can be used on both front and back teeth as they do not cause aesthetic concerns.  It is usually used for front teeth.  Lithium disilicate provides excellent durability, making E-Max crowns a durable option for dental restorations.  They are known to endure the forces of biting and chewing in the mouth.  

• Material:

  They are typically made of acrylic or stainless steel and serve as temporary placeholders while permanent crowns are manufactured.  They are often used for short-term purposes.

1. Comprehensive Analysis and Smile Design

   Your journey starts with an online consultation and continues with a friendly chat in the dental chair.  Dental consultations usually result in final diagnoses at the dentist's office.  You can discuss your cosmetic goals with your experienced dentist, ask your questions and address your concerns.  To ensure that the final result meets your smile goals, your dentist will create a treatment plan that takes into account your dental history and current oral health.  

2. Collaborative Treatment Planning

   Together, we will start a collaborative treatment planning session.  Here we will go into the details of the result you want.  How many crowns are needed?  What is the most suitable material for your preferences?  Which crowns should be combined for which teeth?  If crowns are considered appropriate, the dentist will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan.  This involves discussing the desired result, the number of crowns needed and the choice of material.  A detailed treatment plan plays a crucial role in creating a plan tailored to your smile map.

3. Detailed Digital Scaning and Mock-Ups

   We perform detailed digital scanning to give you an idea of your desired smile map and, if necessary, create a mock-up of your expected results.  This step allows you to visualize the process and gives you a choice of what you want to add or change about the final appearance of the veneers.  Root canal treatments are applied to the teeth to be crowned and the teeth are shaved so that the new crowns can hold on for a long life.  The amount of tooth shaving depends on the damage to the tooth and the type of crown chosen.  

4. Temporary Crowns for Protection (If necessary)

   While your permanent crown is custom-made, your dentist can provide a temporary crown.  This temporary shield protects the prepared tooth, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics during the waiting period.  

5. Artisan Craftsmanship in the Dental Laboratory

   Your impressions go to a skilled dental laboratory where artisans precisely craft your custom crown.  This process is a blend of science and art, ensuring that your final restoration is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.  

6. Finishing Touches and Quality Controls

   When your permanent crown is ready, you will come back to your dentist for placement.  The temporary crown is gently removed and the final crown is carefully examined for fit, color and bite alignment.  

7. Adjustments for a Perfect Placement

   This step ensures that the crown gives your bite a natural feel and complements your overall oral health.

8. Careful Cementation

   With your approval, the dentist bonds the final crown onto the prepared tooth using dental cement.  This secure bond is crucial for the long-term success of the restoration.  

9. Comprehensive Check ups After Placement

   Your dentist performs thorough post-placement checks to ensure that the crown is securely in place, works smoothly and blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

• Gentle Oral Hygiene Practices

  Maintain your daily oral hygiene routine, but pay special attention to the crown.  Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently clean the crown and surrounding areas.  Your dentist may recommend a water flosser.  

• Dedication to Flossing

  Add daily flossing to your routine to keep your gums and crown healthy.  When flossing around the crown, use a gentle back and forth motion to avoid dislodging the crown or causing irritation.  

• Dietary Routine

  Even if your dental crown is flexible, it is advisable to avoid excessively hard or sticky foods, especially in the first days after placement.  Choose softer options to avoid extra stress on the crown.

• Careful Chewing Habits

  Pay attention to your chewing habits, especially when consuming hard substances such as ice or non-food items.  Even if your crown is durable, avoiding excessive force can contribute to its long-term success.  

• Temperature Sensitivity

  It is a common to experience temporary sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures after crown placement.  This sensitivity usually decreases and disappears completely within a few weeks.  

  Some individuals may experience short-term sensitivity to hot or cold substances.  This sensitivity is usually a normal part of the adjustment period and tends to decrease as your mouth gets used to the crown.
