What are zirconia crowns in Turkey?
Zirconia crowns are widely used in cosmetic dentistry to fix damaged teeth or as aesthetic tooth restoration material. These caps are normally placed by dentists, especially prosthodontists who have a special focus on matters relating to the crown. Good candidates for zirconia crown procedures have broken teeth, extensive filling, or want to have an enhanced appearance of their teeth. Zirconia crown treatment includes filing down the affected tooth, making an impression, and then the crown made from zirconia is constructed in a laboratory. When prepared, the crown is fitted and bolted on top of the tooth and cemented in place. When local anesthesia is employed the procedure is painless. The zirconia crowns are strong and even last for 10-15 years but this will depend on the kind of care taken on them. One of the most frequent reasons patients go to Turkey for this procedure is the extensive and comprehensive service, affordable prices, and qualified dentists
Advantages of zirconia crowns
The use of zirconia crowns has several zirconia crowns advantages. These crowns are well known for their high resistance are very durable and are used in restoring damaged teeth. This makes them look like natural teeth and when arranged alongside the other teeth in the mouth they fit very well and are very pleasing to the eye. In addition to the strength, zirconium crowns are less prone to crack in comparison to other materials. Also, they are biocompatible and therefore do not produce gum irritation or allergic reactions, useful for patients with metal allergies too. It is a conservative procedure that does not involve much preparation of the tooth as is the case with most other restorative procedures. These crowns do not easily pick stains and thus they stay shiny and clean for long periods before they will require a professional cleaning. These crowns’ high success rates in the rehabilitation of both form and color of damaged or stained teeth also make them an invaluable tool in cosmetic dentistry.
In which case can zirconium crowns be applied in Turkey?
Zirconium crowns are especially useful for those teeth that are extensively decayed or otherwise compromised structurally because they are both strong and attractive. Large cavities or multiple dental fillings are also proper indications for zirconium crowns because they are strong and long-lasting. In the case of chipped or fractured teeth, zirconium crowns can be used to provide an ideal solution that gives a perfect match to natural teeth. Furthermore, most patients with intrinsic tooth color that cannot be bleached to an acceptable shade can have a ‘smile makeover’ through zirconium crowns. They also have a sturdy construction which makes them suitable for use, especially by persons who have habits of grinding or clenching their teeth. Because of all these benefits, zirconium crown procedures are common in Turkey, especially for those people who want their teeth to be strong and look like natural teeth.
How to prepare before zirconia crowns in Turkey
The patient follows all the measures to the letter to achieve the best zirconia crown results. When going for your treatment be sure to ask your dentist some questions as well as explain to them some fears that you may be having. Please be specific about what you want from the doctor and if you have any illness at all. It is also important to tell your dentist that you are using any medications and the ones that require you to stop before the procedure such as blood thinners.
Your dentist will assess your tooth and will most probably take some measurements or even a cast of the crown to ensure it is a perfect fit. Another precaution to take is to refrain from smoking and taking alcohol before and after the procedure because these vices slow down the healing process and reduce the effectiveness of the crown. Also, do not take a full meal before the appointment because this will affect the anesthesia that will be used. With such guidelines and the dentist’s recommendations, you will have a great chance of attaining success in your zirconia crown process.
Zirconia crown procedure
Comprehensive examination
In the case of a zirconia crown, the first thing I do for the patient is an assessment of the tooth in question. This is done through simple X-rays to have a clear look at the extent of the damage and to determine the most appropriate functional management of the tooth. This step is important in segregating the decay or the damage done and helps in formulating a treatment plan that would suit the patient.
Analgesia or use of anesthesia
After the area has become anesthetized, I then go ahead and shave a small part of the tooth structure and take away some of the enamel. This step leaves enough room for the zirconia crown to fit well on the tooth so that it is tightly fixed in place.
Temporary crown fitting
After the preparation of the tooth, I make an impression by either using the conventional methods with the impression trays or through digital impressions. Such an impression is crucial when trying to develop a zirconia crown that will fit the given dentition. Given the fact that it may take about a week or even more to prepare the permanent crown, I fix a temporary crown on the tooth to ensure that the patient is comfortable as the tooth is protected in the process.
Manufacturing the permanent crown
The prepared tooth is photographed and a model is made which is sent to the dental laboratory for the fabrication of a zirconia crown that closely resembles the color and shape of natural teeth. The whole process takes one to two weeks and upon this the crown is ready, the patient is called in for the final adjustment.
Finishing touches of the zirconia crown
At the last appointment, I took out the temporary crown and compared the new zirconia crown in terms of fit, color, and comfort. Any changes are made that would make it feel as if it is a part of the design and runs fluently. After that, the crown is cemented on the tooth, and I check whether the patient’s bite is correct. I then, also, explain to the patient all the necessary postoperative instructions regarding the longevity of the zirconia crown needed to achieve a beautiful long-lasting result. Formun Üstü
Zirconia crown aftercare
Avoid hard foods: Avoid biting on objects that are hard such as ice, nuts, or hard candy since these can cause the crown to crack or break.
Pain management: Some patients might develop mild soreness after the treatment, but these can be relieved by using ordinary pain relievers; however, ensure that you heed your dentist’s advice on what to take. If the pain stays with you for some time, you should contact your dentist.
Stay away from sticky foods: Some foods such as caramel or chewing gum can become lodged between the crown and your gums or even move the crown to another position. It is advisable to do without these altogether.
Maintain good oral hygiene: It is also important to floss and brush your teeth daily to avoid gum diseases and tooth decay around the crown. To make sure that the crown is well fixed and the gums are okay, make sure your mouth is clean.
Use a night guard: In case you grind your teeth or clench them while sleeping, then a night guard will provide the necessary relief for putting less pressure on the crown and causing no harm.
Avoid using teeth as tools: It is also important to note that one should not use teeth to open packets or bottles since this puts pressure on the crown and it may break.
Limit staining foods: Avoid foods that would discolor your teeth including coffee and wine, so that the prosthesis would merge seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Brush gently: You should not use a hard bristle brush to prevent any harm to the crown and your gums as well.
Avoid smoking: Smoking is also associated with gum problems and hence the durability of the crown would be affected if one is a smoker he or she should quit smoking.

Are zirconia crown treatments painful?
No, the zirconia crown procedure is not painful during the procedure.
Local anesthesia helps dentists ensure that pain has been eliminated or reduced to a considerable degree during surgeries. Patients sometimes can feel moderately painful or sensitive right after the procedure when eating hot or cold meals and drinking hot or cold beverages. This pain is quite often moderate, and most patients can treat it with non-prescription pain killers including; Advil, aspirin, and paracetamol. In the case the pain is intense or persists for more than three days, then it is recommended that you seek the services of the dentist. Also, the use of cold packs or ice is advisable in instances where the limb is swollen to reduce edema, and pain.
How long do zirconia crowns last?
Zirconia crowns last between 15-20 years while in some cases can stand more with proper care.
The main factors that influence both the efficiency and durability of zirconia crowns are the level of the dentist’s experience, the state of the patient’s oral cavity, the correspondence of the current crown to the patient’s tissue, as well as the quality of the chosen zirconia. One should also not put the crowns into use for use in mashing or biting hard foods or objects. Extra care is very important. If the patient visits the dental clinic from time to time will assist in solving the problems to do with crowns if any before getting out of hand thus ensuring they perform well as expected.
Are zirconia crowns treatment worth it?
Yes, the zirconia crown procedure is worth it.
Zirconia makes a lot of difference because it has a very high density and stability as a material to be used on the teeth for prosthodontic appliances. It remains friendly to the gums and does not cause any reactions or irritation hence improving the general health of the mouth. Zirconia crowns are made in a way that they mimic the natural color and transparency of real teeth and this gives patients a beautiful smile which boosts their self-esteem a lot. Also, the tight adaptation of zirconia crowns reduces the possibility of crevices underneath the restoration to harbor bacteria and cause gingivitis. Comments and ratings received from the patients as well as the zirconia crown before and after photos always show a good clinical result coupled with a satisfactory aesthetic outcome.
What are the types of zirconia crowns?
There are many options which are available when determining zirconia crowns and all of them have their advantages. Full-contour zirconia crown is strong and it is usually advised that it should be used in the back teeth such as molars. On the other hand, layered zirconia crowns have a core of zirconia combined with a veneer of porcelain; this has the strength of zirconia but is as aesthetically appealing as porcelain that is ideal for the anterior teeth. Translucent zirconia crowns are rendered from zirconia with low opacity and high transmittance and thus it is suitable for anterior aesthetics and posterior function. For aesthetic and strength purposes full-contour and translucent ones are those that are most often chosen by the owners.
How long does it take to make a zirconia crown?
Zirconia crown treatment generally takes around two to three weeks.
The time for zirconia crowns depends on several factors such as the case difficulty and the time taken in the dental lab. Typically, the procedure involves two key appointments: the first appointment involves shaping the tooth and making an impression whereas the second appointment is on fitting and cementation of the crown. In general, the time it takes to place the zirconia crown will vary depending on the need of each case and the speed of the dental practice.
