Zirconia and porcelain crowns in Beylikdüzü
Crowns that protect worn, broken or discoloured teeth and restore their appearance.
About zirconia and porcelain crowns
A crown is a restoration that surrounds a tooth and protects it. Because zirconia has no metal framework, it transmits light much like a natural tooth and doesn't leave a dark line at the gum. Porcelain-fused-to-metal is a durable option with a long track record, especially for back teeth.
A laminate veneer is a thin layer bonded only to the front surface of the tooth, so less tooth tissue is removed. Which option suits you depends on how much sound tooth remains, your bite forces and your expectations.
Who is it for?
- Weakened, root-treated teeth
- Teeth with large fillings or fractures
- Colour or shape problems that whitening can't fix
How does it work?
- Examination and X-rays if needed
- Tooth preparation and impressions (digital or conventional)
- Temporary teeth and try-in
- Cementing the final crowns
- Review
After treatment
- Some sensitivity to hot and cold is possible in the first days and usually settles on its own.
- The edge of a crowned tooth can still decay: clean it every day with floss and interdental brushes.
- If you clench or grind your teeth, a night guard protects the crowns.
- Avoid cracking hard things such as nutshells with your front teeth.
Results of any surgical or interventional procedure may vary from person to person. You are advised to obtain a detailed opinion from your dentist before any procedure.
FAQ
Common questions about zirconia and porcelain crowns
The right treatment for you can only be decided after an examination. If your question isn't answered here, message us on WhatsApp and our dentists will reply.
How many visits does a zirconia crown take?
Usually 2–3 visits over about 1–2 weeks: preparing the teeth and taking impressions, a try-in, and bonding. If gum or root canal treatment is needed, it is completed first.
Do the teeth have to be filed down for a crown?
For zirconia and porcelain crowns a thin layer is removed from the tooth surfaces; how much depends on the material and the tooth. If options that need less preparation, such as veneers or bonding, are suitable, we explain those too.
Zirconia, porcelain fused to metal or e.max?
Zirconia contains no metal, is strong and lets light through much like a natural tooth; it is often chosen for back teeth and bridges. E.max is a glass ceramic with an aesthetic advantage on front teeth. We choose together based on the tooth's position, your bite and your expectations.
How long do crowns last?
It depends on oral hygiene, clenching or grinding and regular check-ups; with good care they can be used for many years. It wouldn't be right to promise a fixed number. The main things that shorten their life are decay starting at the crown edge and gum problems.
Will my gums turn dark after a crown?
With metal-backed crowns a grey line can appear at the gum edge over time. Zirconia and all-ceramic crowns contain no metal, so this isn't expected, although the crown edge can become visible if the gum recedes.
