35 min · Istanbul AirportWhat it is
A crown covers the whole tooth to restore a broken, heavily filled or root-treated tooth, or to reshape it. Zirconia is a strong ceramic that needs no metal core, so there is no grey line at the gum.
For front teeth we use layered or E.max crowns for translucency; for back teeth, monolithic zirconia for strength.
- Why patients choose it
- Metal-free, no dark gum line
- Strong enough for back teeth
- Fit and shade checked before final cementation
- Also used on implants

Photos and X-ray review
We confirm which teeth need crowns and whether any need root treatment first.
- 2Day 1
Preparation and impression
The tooth is shaped and an impression is taken (digital or conventional). A temporary crown is fitted.
- 3Day 2–4
Lab
The partner lab mills and layers the crown; a try-in checks fit and shade.
- 4Day 4–6
Fitting
Final crown cemented, bite checked and polished.
Is it right for me?
Usually a good fit
- ✓Broken or cracked teeth
- ✓Large old fillings
- ✓Root-treated teeth
- ✓Teeth too damaged for veneers
Not ideal, or treated first
- –Cosmetic changes on healthy teeth (veneers or bonding remove less enamel)
- –Untreated gum disease
What can go wrong
Every treatment has risks. Here are the honest ones, and what we do about them.
Enamel removal
A crown needs 1–2 mm of tooth removed all round. We only crown teeth that need it and use veneers or bonding for cosmetic changes.
Sensitivity or nerve irritation
A prepared tooth can be sensitive for weeks; occasionally a root treatment becomes necessary later.
Chipping of layered porcelain
Monolithic zirconia rarely chips; layered crowns on front teeth can, and are repaired or replaced.
Aftercare and how long it lasts
- Normal brushing and flossing, especially at the crown margin
- Night guard if you grind
- Check-ups every 6–12 months
10–15 years on average; monolithic zirconia often longer.
Questions patients ask
How much are zirconia crowns in Turkey?
By the number of units: €2,200 for eight, €3,100 for fourteen, €3,900 for twenty and €4,950 for twenty-eight. Privately in the UK a single unit is £600–900.
Why do some clinics crown all 20 teeth?
Sometimes it is needed (worn or heavily filled teeth); often it is not, and veneers or bonding would remove far less enamel. Our plan says which teeth need which treatment and why.
How long does a crown take?
Four to six days in one visit, because the partner lab makes the crown during your stay.
Zirconia or E.max?
Zirconia for strength (back teeth, grinders); E.max for translucency on front teeth. Often both in one smile.
