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.

Georgia Harley reviewed What an amazing experience

What an amazing experience. Like most, the idea of travelling to another country for a medical procedure was nerve wracking at first however, my amazing care co ordinator Sean was there every step of the way! I arrived on the 31st December and everything from my booking experience, hospital stay, pre op tests, gastric sleeve surgery , transport home and post op assistance has exceeded alp expectations. I am from the UK and all of the care far surpassed anything that I have recieved in the UK. Sean has also been there post me returning to the UK to check in and respond quickly to any post op questions that I have had. Would 100% reccomend

Had a bit of a mix up but this was easily fixed and my feedback taken onboard for future patients 😊 The hospital is immaculate with very friendly and caring staff. I was very well looked after before and after surgery. After surgery nurses would check on me every 1.5/2 hours and if I rang the bell they would come instantly. Translators were brilliant and the staff who didn’t speak much English was very good with google translate 😊 The care and the cleanliness at the hospital I went to Medistanbul was out of the world. Puts the UK hospitals to shame honestly! Had so many family & friends telling me don’t go abroad for surgery but it’s the best thing I ever done! My coordinator Rick Miller was so quick at responding, always kept me up to date and was very helpful throughout the whole process. My surgeon was Prof Dr Kagan Katar who was very professional, he came to see me before and after operation Also the transfer driver Orhan was amazing he was so helpful with our bags in the huge airport and sorted us out with wheelchairs Had a brilliant experience

customer reviewed Dr Ahmet - arm lift and Sr Emre - face, neck, eyes. First class

I had arm lift surgery with Dr Ahmet on 8 October 2024. David Turker was my co ordinator. From the collection at the airport to dropping be off ;I also had dental implant and my partner has a hair transplant) everything went smoothly. They’re organised and efficient. There are several interpreters and staff who work for Booking Surgery who are resident at different times in the ward of the hospitals. On 30/1/24 I returned to finish off my tooth implant and to have a deep plane facelift, a neck lift and upper eyelid blepharoplasty. Again everyone was fantastic. My only critique is the hospitals’ food, which, similar to UK is not great but I knew that prior to going and found out where the nearest shops were. I also ordered in pizza via the helpers and they got me stuff from the shop. They also got me a soft pillow as the pillow on my hospital bed the second time was like a boulder with wee pebbles in it LOL. But this is a minor thing and plenty of cheap pillows for sale nearby. I felt that my treatment in Istanbul was better than any I’d ever received in the UK and I’ve had over 5 operations in Scotland. The nurses in Turkey are so kind and compassionate. Any medication you need for any ancillary issues that arise is readily prescribed to you. The surgeons are lovely too and experienced and professional. I had Dr Emre Koçman for my face etc., ab older guy in his 60s with great experience. I’m not 10 days post op and pleased Ruth progress. I’m 65 and once healed I'm going to look 45. That wasn’t my aim but I’ll take it LOL ! Thank you booking surgery. You’re the best. Maxine
