What are Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are custom-made restorative caps that cover the entire visible portion of a damaged, weakened or fallen tooth. They are designed to fully restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength and appearance.
Placed on top of teeth or anchored on a dental implant, tooth crowns require careful X-ray measurement of the patient’s mouth and high-precision manufacturing. They are placed for 5 main cosmetic reasons:
- Improve chewing & speech
- Enhancing the jawline
- Heightening the maxillary structure
- Improving facial harmony
- Allowing a full smile
Why Choose Turkey for Dental Crowns?
In recent years, Turkey has acquired a solid reputation as one of the medical capitals of the world, granting affordable, high-quality treatments to patients from all backgrounds.
Medical treatments that could only be afforded by a minority before are now being granted to everyone. Turkish medical tourism has democratized access to safe, reliable medical treatments to all.
Convenient prices and high-quality treatments alone don’t explain the huge medical tourism boom experienced in the last 10 years, however.
Getting dental treatment in Turkey also allows for an attractive combination of leisure and pleasure. Whether for its rich cultural heritage, its sunny beaches or delicious gastronomy, Turkey has something for all tastes.

Zirconium is a highly resistant metal element, often considered the sturdiest material for dental prosthetics and the most resistant to chipping, cracking and discolouration.

15-20 years life-span ✔
Translucid, natural look ✔

Your Dental Journey at a Glance
Getting dental crowns requires precision, meticulosity, attention to details and great care to ensure long-term success. Both laboratory and clinic work are paramount in granting the best results. The procedure is usually undergone in 4 steps:
Mouth Analysis
Like most medical procedures, an in-depth study of your mouth topography will be necessary to craft prosthetics that fit you with high precision. This will involve X-ray, 3-D mapping, gum evaluation, tooth consistency, and the study of the patient’s medical history to identify any prior issues, such as periodontal disease, and contraindications.
Preparation
Patients will either need placement of dental implants to fit the crown, or grinding to fit the crown on top of a natural tooth, using it as an anchor. This will require removing tooth tissue layer by layer, giving it a suitable shape to install the prosthesis. Depending on the case, root canal treatment, sinus lifting, and bone grafting might be necessary as well.
Crown Manufacture
Following all data extracted from the first step, laboratory personnel will craft a dental crown to fit your mouth with millimeter precision. 3D intraoral scanning technology, along with wax casts, will be used for this process. Then, milling and 3D printing will be completed just as shown in the previous section.
The final step involves detailed human craftsmanship to ensure every tooth is unique.
Crown Placement
The most important part of the procedure comes last — crown fitting. This step is carried out while the patient is under local anesthesia to ensure a painless procedure. If the laboratory work has been done effectively, the crown should fit easily. A special cement is used to ensure the crown holds tightly in place.
Departure and Follow-Up
On the final day, your private driver will take you to the airport for the final goodbye. Once you return home, your Turkish dentist will remain by your side, offering guidance and support through online consultation. Your well-being remains their top priority, ensuring all goes well and according to plan.
