Zirconium crowns in Turkey ensure covering the damaged area with a tooth-shaped cap and securing it in place, and this procedure is recommended for a diverse group of patients. If the patient's teeth have eroded over time or a large cavity has appeared in the teeth, zirconium crowns in Turkey may be the ideal treatment.
Sometimes, old fillings begin to weaken the entire tooth, leading to the need for additional reinforcement, and crowns are often needed after root canal treatment, where they can also be applied for purely cosmetic reasons. For example, zirconium crowns in Turkey are a popular method to conceal tooth deformities or change their original color. The crown is also placed over the abutment when the patient undergoes a zirconium crown implantation at the "Istanbul Plus" Dental Clinic, where dental crown implantation is performed at a reasonable cost.
Types of crowns
Full ceramic crowns
Full ceramic crowns are a popular choice for patients who want their crowns to match their natural teeth exactly. Modern ceramic crowns can be precisely colored to match the patient's teeth. For all-ceramic crowns, the entire thickness is made of pure ceramic. This allows the crown to have a thicker layer than transparent porcelain, providing a glossy natural appearance.
Zirconium crowns
Zirconium crowns in Turkey are strong, durable, and long-lasting. Zirconia itself is a type of white ceramic and is considered the strongest material used in dentistry due to its hardness. Therefore, zirconia must be processed with specific computer systems where zirconia crowns can be combined with porcelain to achieve the final shade and shape of the tooth. Many dentists and patients prefer zirconia crowns for their high resistance. Additionally, the human body tolerates zirconia well.
Metal-ceramic crowns
Metal-ceramic crowns consist of a metal base structure covered with a layer of ceramic, providing a strong, durable, and natural-looking hybrid crown solution. While metal-ceramic crowns have gradually lost their appeal in recent years, they are still widely used due to their durability. This type of crown is also known as metal-fused porcelain.
Possible side effects of zirconium crowns in Turkey at the Istanbul Plus Clinic:
- Crown fracture may result from teeth grinding or strong shocks.
- Increased sensitivity to hot and cold drinks is common.
- Dental crowns are expected to remain in place for several years.
- A large percentage of dental crowns last for 8 years, while a smaller percentage can last for 18 years.
Frequently Asked Questions about Zirconium Crowns in Turkey
How is the crown prepared?
During the first appointment, the dentist shapes the crown to fit the tooth, then takes impressions of your mouth to create a custom crown for your current teeth. A solid mold is used to manufacture a metal, resin, or porcelain crown that is returned to the dentist, who permanently secures the crown in place and ensures proper fitting to overcome any flaws in the preparation process.
How long does the treatment take?
The procedure time depends on the extent of damage to the teeth. If the damage is extensive, the dentist may need to rebuild the teeth using an intermediate filling for the crown to fit properly. Generally, you attend the first appointment for the shaping of the damaged tooth, then receive a temporary crown to use until the permanent crown is made. The temporary cover is removed and the cast crown is put in place. Appointments should not take more than two hours and may take only 30 minutes, although the entire process may last from 2 to 5 days. The entire process can be completed in less than 5 days depending on the number of crowns required.
Patients may experience some pain after the permanent crown is placed, and people who have a temporary crown may be surprised, as the permanent crown is in direct contact with the nerve. Therefore, the doctor prescribes the appropriate medication. The patient should not take more medication than necessary, and after the zirconium crowns are installed in Turkey, the patient can resume their daily life.
What are the dietary tips after installing zirconium crowns in Turkey?
Patients can consume cold soup without crunchy vegetables such as carrots. Solid foods and chewing gum should be avoided until the crown is properly secured. It is preferable to eat soft and easy-to-chew foods such as pasta, bananas, and apple juice. Hot drinks such as coffee and tea should be avoided for at least 3 days after the procedure, as they may cause sensitivity.
