Turkey Dental Crowns
A crown is a cover or cap your dentist can put over a tooth. A crown restores a damaged or missing tooth to its normal shape, size and function. A crown can protect the tooth or improve the way it looks.
Dental Crowns are used to cover damaged, cracked, discolored or deformed teeth. Although in most cases they are used to aesthetically perfect existing teeth, they are also applied to bridge missing teeth or cover implants. They are very convenient to shape as dentists want to meet the different preferences of patients, they also come in a choice of 20 different colors that make it easy to match for any procedure.

What is Your Crown Made of?
Crowns can be made from several types of materials such as metal supported porcelain, E-max or Zirconium.
Metal supported porcelain: Metal supported porcelain crowns can be used to replace a single tooth, or as a bridge. The metal alloy in the substructure of the tooth formation is extremely durable
E-max: Due to their light transmission properties, ‘E-max’ crowns have a rich depth and vitality, blending perfectly with your natural teeth.
Zirconium: Due to the light transmittance properties of the zirconia material the crown will have the same natural appearance of the patient’s existing natural teeth.
Zirconium occurs in nature as a silvery white transparent solid element.
When the pure mineral state combines with oxygen, zirconium is converted into ceramics and processed in special furnaces (CAD-CAM technology).
Zirconium is in the class of metal-free crowns and has a more natural and aesthetic appearance than metal-supported crowns.
Dentists have started to use zirconium dental veneers more frequently in their treatments, as patients want a more aesthetic and natural appearance.
It is widely used in anterior teeth as it is more desirable naturally and aesthetically.
What is a Zirconium Crown?
A zirconium crown is a dental restoration that is crafted from zirconium oxide, a robust and biocompatible ceramic material widely employed in restorative dentistry. These crowns are particularly valued for their exceptional strength, resilience against chipping and cracking, and their ability to closely resemble the natural appearance of teeth.
Zirconium crowns are known for their durability and are often chosen for both anterior and posterior teeth due to their ability to withstand the biting forces in these regions of the mouth. Moreover, the translucent quality of zirconium makes it an excellent choice for achieving a lifelike and aesthetically pleasing outcome, contributing to their popularity among patients seeking durable and natural-looking tooth restorations
Patients appreciate zirconium crowns not only for their cosmetic appeal but also for their compatibility with surrounding teeth. Unlike some traditional crown materials, zirconium is less abrasive to opposing teeth, minimizing wear and tear on the overall dental structure. This makes zirconium crowns a reliable and long-lasting solution for individuals seeking both functional and visually appealing dental restorations.
However, it should not be forgotten that potential patients should not decide to have zirconia teeth without consulting specialist physicians. You should not leave your teeth, health and money to unprofessional hands.

Why Zirconium Crowns?
The most important advantage of zirconium tooth coating is that it transmits more light compared to other metal-supported crowns.
Due to this feature, a dark colour does not occur in the gums and the blackness formed by metal-supported porcelain coatings on the edge of the gum does not form.
Zirconium Dental Crowns are much stronger and more durable than metal crowns.
Steps of Placing a Crown
It usually takes two dental visits to complete the treatment. When a crown is placed over a natural tooth, several steps are involved:
Your dentist prepares the tooth by shaving the teeth down and removing the outer portion, including any decay, so the crown will fit. If additional tooth structure is needed to support the crown, your dentist may build up the core of the tooth.
An impression is made to create an exact model of your tooth. The impression can be made from a mold or by digitally scanning the tooth.
To protect your tooth while the permanent crown is being made, a temporary crown is placed. While you have a temporary crown, the tooth may be sensitive to hot and cold. Avoid chewing gum and eating sticky foods during this time.
When the permanent crown is ready, your dentist places it in your mouth and makes the necessary adjustments. When you and your dentist are happy with how it looks and feels, the crown is cemented into place.
