Dental Crowns

What are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are tooth shaped caps that are permanently cemented on top of the natural teeth or dental implants. Dental crowns strengthen the teeth and improve the alignment of the mouth. Permanent dental crowns can be made out of many different materials.

Why are Dental Crowns performed?

Dental crowns can be applied for multiple purposes, both for dental health or for cosmetic purposes. Crowns are often applied to:

  • Restore a broken tooth
  • Hold a dental bridge in place
  • Support a tooth undergoing a root canal treatment or a tooth that has a large filling
  • Cover a dental implant
  • Cover misshapen or stained teeth
  • Keep a weak tooth together and to keep it from breaking

What are the conditions for dental crowns?

Dental crowns are recommended to patients who have broken, misshapen, chipped, or discolored teeth. Patients that have a problem with continuously grinding their teeth might not benefit fully from dental crowns as their lifespan will be greatly reduced.

What are the types of Dental Crowns?

There are multiple types of dental crowns where each is defined by the material that the dental crown is made up from.

Porcelain fused metal crowns

Porcelain fused metal crowns consist of a metal inlay that is coated with a thick layer of porcelain. The metal base ensures long-lasting strength and gives a longer lifespan to the crown, while the porcelain material provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance. This type of crown can also be used to make a dental bridge if the patient has more than one missing tooth near each other.

Zirconium Crowns

Zirconium crowns are one of the most popular types of crowns and have many advantages over Porcelain fused metal crowns. Zirconium crowns are able to provide a more natural looking appearance while having a smooth, shiny surface with an optimal color and light transmittance. Zirconium crowns are biocompatible, making them harmless to living tissue and allowing them to stay in the body indefinitely

E-Max Crowns

E-Max crowns are made from lithium disilicate material, and are made from a single block, which makes them as strong and resistant to chipping or breaking as Zirconium Crowns. E-Max crowns are slightly translucent, providing a natural appearance and fit perfectly with other teeth.

What are the things to be considered before Dental Crowns?

The patient’s health history is taken, and it, along with additional information that may be requested, is examined to create a treatment plan for the patient. After the patient arrives in Turkey a thorough dental examination is made and includes extensive blood work to determine what kind of sedation the patient should go under. A mold of the teeth are also made to create a crown that exactly fits the patient’s mouth.

How are the Dental Crowns inserted?

Patients will usually need 2 to 3 visits to the dentist to have the dental crowns inserted. The first appointment involves the teeth that will receive the crown being filed down across the top and the sides, making space for the crowns. The amount of tooth that gets filed away depends on the type of crown. In some cases root canal treatment might need to be administered if the teeth have an elevated risk of infection or decaying. After filing down, necessary measurements will be taken for the crowns to be manufactured according to. On the second visit dental crowns will be cemented. In some cases a mid session might be needed to check and make the necessary adjustments.

Dental crowns usually last 5 to 15 years if taken care of properly.

What are the things to be considered after getting Dental Crowns?

Patients are recommended to diligently follow their cosmetic dentist’s instructions, which includes taking provided prescription medicine. The patients should also take care to avoid hard or sticky foods, as well as chewing gum, for at least the first 24 hours after the procedure. The patients are also recommended to brush their teeth gently for a week after the procedure. After the recovery period, the patients should keep good dental hygiene and avoid putting excess pressure on the teeth, through grinding or using teeth to open packaging for example. Otherwise the expected lifespan of the crown might decrease.

What are the risks of Dental Crowns?

While dental crowns are considered one of the safest cosmetic dental procedures, like with any other major procedure, there is a risk of complications. Potential risks of dental crowns include, but are not limited to:

  • Discomfort or excessive sensitivity to changes in temperature.
  • The dental crown chipping, getting loose, or dropping off.
  • An allergic reaction to the material that the dental crown is made up of.
  • Gingivitis or other gum diseases.

Jayden reviewed Sleeve feb 2023 Dr Katar & 360 FDL uplift & Implants April 2024 Dr Nebil

So I originally researched a lot of companies to have my sleeve a year prior to actually having it, and booking surgery was always the one that seemed to stand out the most for all the right reasons. I went ahead and had my sleeve in February 2023 done by the very talented Dr Katar, after losing over 8 and half stone, then maintaining for several months I decided it was time for plastics, so I got in contact with my coordinator Rob Campbell and began researching which plastic surgeon I wanted, Rob was very helpful through each step of the booking process, any questions I had he answered in detail, I went ahead and booked with Dr Nebil Selimouğlu to have a 360 FDL, mons lift, muscle repair and breast uplift with implants under the muscle. I had this surgery done on 15th April 2024 at Yasam hospital, and I don’t have any complaints, the hospital was well equipped and clean, the nurses, staff & translators was all great, if I did occur anything I was unsure of I told one of the translators and it was dealt with straight away, Oscar was my favourite translator, he was very caring and compassionate and nothing was too much trouble. Dr Nabil is a magician, he’s work is impeccable and he is such a nice caring man. He came to see me every day sometimes twice a day while I was there, I think having full hospital stay while there really helps with recovery. I am very early into my recovery journey but already thinking about my next round of plastics again with Dr Nebil. I can’t recommend this company, doctors, nurses, staff and translators enough! Thanks all at booking surgery, I will see you again in the future.

customer reviewed Dr Yalcin At Medistanbul

FDL & MINI BRA LINE LIFT This was my second lot of plastic surgery with booking surgery. My surgeon was Dr Yalcin, he is also known as Dr Yummy🤣. My Coordinator was Nina Ord and she had arranged a transfer from the airport to the hospital for when I arrived, the driver was there ready and waiting as soon as I got to gate 8 (the collection point) he helped me and my companion with our bags and was very polite. The transfer from the airport to the hospital was about 30mins. I was then greeted by two members of booking surgery staff April & Lilly. My room wasn’t quite ready but while we were waiting they took myself and my companion for something to eat. Medistanbul is a new hospital that booking surgery are using so I was quite nervous about going somewhere that I hadn’t been before as my previous surgery was at medicine with Dr Yalcin. All pre op tests was done within a few hours and I was then able to walk about the mall next door to the hospital and check out my surroundings. The rooms are spacious, clean, you also have Netflix to watch too. Fast forward to the day of my surgery I reminded Dr Yalcin that I was quite poorly with my first lot of plastics and he was able to change some medication around so I wasn’t poorly when I come around. I am currently 4 days post op and I couldn’t be happier. The aftercare from Dr Yalcin has been great. Always answered any questions or worries I had. Translators Morgan, Naz and Lilly are always around if you need any help with anything. Always knocking on your door checking in on you and asking if you need anything. The cleaners have been cleaning my room on a regular basis, the nurses have been answering my buzzer when needed. Kept me up to date with my pain killers and ext. Google translate is a good app to have just in case you need something and the translators are busy with another patient. Over all my experience at medistanbul has been fab and if I wanted to come back for anything else with Dr Yalcin wouldn’t hesitate.

Natalie Innes reviewed Amazing experience by the best team!

During my time looking into various surgeons I came across many reviews and friends who had been to Turkey. I work within a professional legal setting and made checks into the experience of the surgeon and his work prior to being at Optimed. It took time to get a date that suited my work commitments as I needed time to recover. I was soo glad I waited for the best surgeon who specialises in real curves and getting the best shape to enhance my shape and goals. Dr Mehmet Emin Atil spent time going over my plans for surgery and explored the procedure in detail. He has faultless english and a reassuring nature. I do not need other surgery but my family members will and I wont hesitate to recommend. The hospital and staff are soo friendly and kind. I even managed to teach them some Glaswegian. The hospital is absolutely spotless and is central for companions to explore and have time for themselves whilst you recover. It was great having support by all the staff who are so friendly and helpful with everything. Optimed for me was a pleasant stay and the hospital is far superior to anything you will experience in the Uk.

Becki Acko reviewed Booking Surgery 3rd visit and once again very happy

I have been a total of 3 times to Istanbul via booking surgery. Each time I book Dr Soner Karaali as he is just amazing! From first contact and booking with my co-ordination Nina to leaving I never have had any issues or complaints. You are picked up from the airport and taken to your hospital, on arrival all relevant tests are carried out to ensure you are fit and healthy for the surgery. On the morning the surgeon visits and goes through what you would like as pre discussed and once agreed for desired results you are drawn up and then taken to theatre. The hospital staff, nurses and cleaning crew are always so kind and caring, friendly and professional. You have interpreters on hand 24/7 asking if you would like/need anything. All meals are provided too as well as protein shakes throughout the day. This visit I’ve had the amazing Lily, Morgan, Frank, Naz and Gabriel. Nothing is too much trouble at all they are fantastic. And most importantly my surgical results are as always phenomenal if I do say so myself 🩷

Marisa Mercieca reviewed Highly recommended

I have been looking through this surgery for years. Finally I have decided to make it and here I am !! I can’t thank all the lovely people that helped me through this journey. It all started from a Facebook add and I ve sent a request to learn more information. Very shortly the consultant contacted me on what’s app. She was super helpful and friendly, I felt well prepared before coming to Turkey. When we got here we found a driver waiting for us and took us to the hospital. My partner came on the trip with me and was allowed to spend everyday with me including three meals a day and sleeping in the same room which was very supportive for me. I cannot not mention the gentle translators that works here, they come to check on you very frequent and make sure you have everything you need and you are comfortable. Most of all a big thank you goes to the lovely nurses and care workers!! They are super kind and helpful!! Their care they show for the patients is impeccable. Thank you all for your dedication. Also i would like to thank Dr Ali Tardu and his team that they have done a super job! Thank you all ❤️ surely recommend!

Pauline Davie reviewed Booked a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift…

Booked a Deep Plane Face and Neck Lift with Dr Soner through my coordinator Mike Smith who arranged everything. From being met at the airport, transfer to the hospital, all necessary tests, scans, X-rays, etc. Met my surgeon the next morning to discuss my operation. From start to finish I have been looked after 100%. Interpreters are on hand 24/7 to help with anything you want or need. The rooms are large, modern, well equipped and clean. I was so excited about having this procedure and am delighted with my results. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend BookingSurgery.com to anyone who’s looking for any plastic surgery procedures.
