Dental Crowns: Strengthen and Beautify Your Teeth

Overview

Dental crowns, also known as caps, are custom-made restorations that cover the entire surface of a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are used to protect weakened teeth, restore broken teeth, cover dental implants, and enhance the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth. Our expert dental surgeons in Turkey utilize the latest techniques to ensure optimal results and a high level of patient satisfaction.

Procedure Options

1. Porcelain Crowns: Made entirely of porcelain, these crowns offer the most natural appearance and are ideal for front teeth. They are highly aesthetic and blend seamlessly with natural teeth.
2. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns: Combine the strength of a metal base with the aesthetics of a porcelain exterior. These crowns are durable and suitable for both front and back teeth.
3. Zirconia Crowns: Made from zirconium oxide, these crowns are extremely strong, durable, and biocompatible, offering excellent aesthetics and a natural appearance.
4. Metal Crowns: Made from gold, palladium, or other metal alloys, these crowns are highly durable and resistant to wear, making them ideal for molars and out-of-sight teeth.

Benefits:

• Restores the strength, function, and appearance of damaged teeth
• Protects weakened teeth from further damage or decay
• Improves the aesthetics of discolored or misshapen teeth
• Long-lasting and durable with proper care
• Custom-made for a precise fit and natural look

Risks:

• Sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures after placement
• Potential for the crown to chip or become loose over time
• Risk of infection if the tooth beneath the crown decays
• Allergic reactions to the materials used in the crown (rare)
• Discomfort or bite issues if the crown is not properly fitted

Our expert dental surgeons in Turkey use advanced techniques to minimize risks and ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Recovery and Aftercare

• Initial Recovery: Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after the procedure, although mild sensitivity or discomfort may be experienced initially.
• Pain Management: Mild discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Sensitivity usually subsides within a few days.
• Oral Hygiene: Maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly, and avoid chewing hard foods or ice to prevent damage to the crown.
• Follow-Up Care: Attend regular dental check-ups to monitor the condition of your crowns and ensure the health of the underlying teeth. Your dentist will provide specific guidelines for care and maintenance.
