Dental Crowns in Turkey

Healthy teeth are an important part of your smile and personality. Discoloured, broken or missing teeth negatively affect your self-image and your wellness. Searching for a solution to this problem, people are asking “What is a dental crown?” A dental crown, also known as a tooth caps, is a dental repair method that completely covers visible parts of damaged or decayed teeth. The design of the crown is similar to natural teeth in terms of shape, size and colour. Crowns also come in 20 different colours, making it easy to meet patients' requests for any procedure. It is then bonded to the tooth or implant to provide durability, support and protection. Dental Crowns are used to cover decayed, cracked, discoloured or deformed teeth. Although they are used in most cases to correct existing teeth aesthetically, they are also used as a bridge to replace missing teeth or implants. 

Your dentist may recommend a crown for:

• Supporting the tooth with a large filling when there is not enough natural tooth structure left.
• Using bridges to replace missing teeth.
• Protects the damaged tooth against breakage.
• Restoring a damaged or discoloured tooth.
• Placing a dental implant on it.

Dental crown material has so many options such as a metal crown, a porcelain crown, a zirconia crown, ceramic crowns or mixtures of these. By taking into account factors such as the location of the tooth, the extent of damage, and by exchanging ideas with you, the dentist will determine the type of crown that will best meet your needs. Before the crown can be fitted, your dentist must remove some of the existing tooth structure. The crown can then be placed over the remaining tooth structure. The amount of tooth structure that needs to be cleaned may vary for each case and may also vary depending on the type of crown to be placed. In order to make room for the crown, it is generally necessary to file the teeth approximately 1-2 millimetres from all directions. This amount of cleaning is sufficient to preserve the structural integrity and durability of the remaining tooth and to place the cap material.

Your dentist will evaluate your individual situation and decide the amount of tooth structure that needs to be removed before the crown can be placed. As with all dental treatments, dental crowns have their pros and cons. Listed below are the advantages and disadvantages of dental crowns:

Advantages

• It restores the function of the tooth: Dental crown restores the functions of damaged and decayed teeth, allowing you to chew and bite normally again.
• It looks aesthetically pleasing: The design of crowns is made to match your natural teeth in terms of colour and shape. Thus, it becomes impossible to distinguish them from your other teeth.
• It is long-lasting: Crowns are made of durable materials such as porcelain, zirconium or ceramics. You can use it for many years if it is properly cared for.
• It is multi-purpose: Crowns can be used to treat many different dental problems, including fractures, cracks and decay.
• It provides protection: Crowns cover all exposed parts of a damaged tooth, preventing further damage.

Disadvantanges

• It is necessary to prepare the tooth: In order to replace the crown, the tooth must first be filed. This can cause discomfort in some patients.
• Its cost: Some health insurances may not cover the entire cost.
• It may cause sensitivity: After having crowns, some patients may feel discomfort or sensitivity due to the filing process.
• Its risk of decay:  If the tooth under the crown is not cleaned properly or not properly cared for afterwards, it may continue to decay or become infected.
• It is not a permanent solution: Over time, crown replacement may be needed due to wear, deterioration or other reasons.

Crowns can be produced from various materials such as porcelain, E-max or zirconium with metal infrastructure.

• Metal-based porcelain: It is mainly used to replace single teeth or as a bridge. The metal alloy in the substructure of the dental capping is extremely durable.
• E-max: Due to their slightly translucent properties, E-max crowns blend perfectly with your natural teeth.
• Zirconium: Due to the slightly translucent nature of the material, the crown will have the same natural appearance as the patient's existing natural teeth. Zirconium is a metal-free crown and has a more natural and aesthetic appearance than metal crowns.

Sanamentum offers varying types of dental crowns. The patient and doctor can choose one of these according to the functionality and the physical desire of the patient. The crowns are made out of different materials, so they all have diverse characteristics. Some have different colours that may stand out, such as gold or silver. Below you can see the different dental crown types Sanamentum offers:

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are closely resembling the natural appearance of the teeth, making them the most preferred version of dental crowns. The colour and structure of porcelain dental crowns in Turkey mimic the natural yellowish colour of your teeth. Additionally, porcelain capped teeth in Turkey is budget-friendly, which is especially beneficial for patients who plan on getting dental treatments abroad. Porcelain crown will not be noticeable and look the same as your other teeth. 

Zirconium Crowns

Zirconium crowns are especially preferred by patients who are having problems with their front teeth. The reason behind this is the natural colour of the zirconium crown that blends in with the other teeth and the biocompatibility of zirconium. Zirconium porcelain crowns are very suitable and are less likely to cause any allergic reaction out of all full crown types. 

Monolithic Crowns

Monolithic crowns are totally made out of zirconium unlike zirconium crowns, which include porcelain substances as well. The downside of monolithic crowns is that their colour does not quite blend in with the rest of the teeth. They have an opaque colour and may stand out. However, the benefit of monolithic crowns is that they are really durable and stable. People who suffer from grinding problems can prefer monolithic crowns since they do not get fractured easily. 

Metal Crowns

Metal crown teeth come in metallic colours such as gold or silver. They are usually made out of nickel, or in rare cases even out of gold or silver. Their material is very durable, thus, they are usually preferred by patients who want stability in their posterior teeth. Even though they are made out of very strong material, they stand out from the rest of the teeth and are rarely preferred for front teeth. 

Dental Crown in Turkey

Turkey has become the crown treatment centre of the world due to its affordability and technical development. But there are some other reasons why so many people choose dental crowns in Turkey more than in other countries. Due to Turkey's geographical location, many patients from European countries, Gulf countries and North Africa come to visit our country for dental covers. But Turkey's geographical location is not the only reason for this interest. Patients who come to Turkey every year for dental crown treatment leave our country satisfied and happy.

Each patient has a personalized treatment plan. As Sanamentum, we believe that everyone should have access to quality health services and we are attentive to keeping the cost of teeth caps at a comprehensive and affordable level that reflects our perspective. If you are asking “how much does a crown cost?” in general, here is a comparative table to get an idea:

Dental Crown Recovery and Results

One of the mostly-searched topics is the question “how long do zirconia crowns last?” The lifespan of a crown varies depending on multiple factors, including the crown material, the position of the crown in the mouth, the oral health of the patient. In general, dental crowns can be used for a period of 5 to 15 years. If properly cared for, it can last more than 20 years. Since old crowns need crown replacement, personal oral hygiene is crucial for maintaining a crown’s lifespan.

Porcelain and ceramic crowns have a longer lifespan than crowns made of metal. Especially the crowns that are replaced to the back teeth are subject to more wear and tear. Therefore, it may need to be replaced in a shorter time compared to getting a crown on front tooth. Brushing and flossing regularly can help extend the life of dental crowns. In addition, avoiding habits such as teeth grinding and clenching can protect crowns from possible damage. Another thing to consider is the skill and experience of the dentist who replaces the crown. A reliable and expert dentist can help extend the lifespan of the crown by ensuring it is placed properly.

Patients have to be careful and follow the instructions of their dentist to protect their new dental crowns. They should not eat hard and sticky food. Some examples of what they will not be allowed to eat are candy, ice cream, cereal, any kind of gum and anything that is hard to chew. We advise patients to eat soft and liquid food that does not require much chewing. It may take a few weeks to get used to your new dental crown. 

There are certain things our patients have to keep in mind;

• Inform your doctor about any kind of chronic illness you have, such as diabetes. 
• Do not eat or drink for three hours after the surgery.
• Eat and hydrate before your appointment.
• Take care of your teeth; oral hygiene is very important.
• Chew with the other side of your mouth after the procedure.
• Do not put pressure on your new crown.
