Restore Strength, Function, and Beauty to Damaged Teeth
When a tooth is cracked, weakened, or heavily filled, dental crowns offer the perfect solution to restore its shape, strength, and natural appearance.
At Dentist Istanbul, we craft custom-made crowns using the latest digital technology and premium materials — ensuring every restoration looks beautiful, feels comfortable, and lasts for many years.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown (also known as a cap) is a custom-fitted covering placed over a damaged or weakened tooth. It restores the tooth’s structure, protects it from further damage, and blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Crowns are commonly used to:
- Restore teeth after decay or fracture
- Protect a tooth following root canal treatment
- Strengthen a tooth with a large filling
- Improve the appearance, shape, or color of a tooth
- Cover implants as part of restorative treatment
A crown doesn’t just protect — it perfects. It restores your tooth’s natural form, function, and brilliance.
Types of Dental Crowns We Offer
At Dentist Istanbul, we use a range of high-quality materials to meet every patient’s aesthetic and functional needs.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns
A classic combination of strength and beauty.
PFM crowns feature a metal base for durability, covered with porcelain for a tooth-colored finish.
Advantages:
- Strong and cost-effective
- Excellent for back teeth (molars)
- Reliable, long-term performance
Ideal for patients looking for a balance of strength and aesthetics at an affordable price.
All-Ceramic / Zirconia Crowns
Made entirely of ceramic or zirconia, these metal-free crowns offer outstanding aesthetics and biocompatibility.
Advantages:
- Natural translucency like real enamel
- Suitable for patients with metal allergies
- Extremely strong and fracture-resistant
- Perfect for front and back teeth
Zirconia crowns are especially popular for their lifelike color, strength, and long-term comfort.
E-max Crowns
E-max (lithium disilicate) crowns represent the premium option in modern aesthetic dentistry. They are thin, light-transmitting, and exceptionally strong.
Advantages:
- Superior translucency and brilliance
- Ultra-precise fit via CAD/CAM technology
- Highly resistant to cracks and staining
- Best suited for front teeth and visible smile zones
E-max crowns deliver a truly natural, high-end finish — often chosen for full smile makeovers and Hollywood Smiles.
The Crown Procedure — Step by Step
- Examination & Planning:
The dentist evaluates your tooth and takes digital scans or X-rays to plan the restoration. - Tooth Preparation:
A thin layer of the damaged enamel is removed to make space for the crown.
(Local anesthesia ensures a completely painless process.) - Digital Impressions:
A 3D scan of your tooth is taken — no messy molds — to create a precise, custom crown. - Temporary Crown (if needed):
A temporary crown protects the tooth while your permanent crown is crafted in our lab. - Crown Placement:
The final crown is fitted, adjusted, and permanently bonded — restoring full function and aesthetics.
The process typically takes 5–7 days, or as little as 24–48 hours with same-day digital crowns (CAD/CAM).
How Long Do Crowns Last?
With good care, modern crowns can last 10–15 years or more.
To prolong their lifespan:
- Brush and floss daily
- Avoid chewing very hard foods or ice
- Attend regular dental check-ups
- Use a night guard if you grind your teeth
At Dentist Istanbul, we design every crown for long-term strength and natural elegance.
