Dr. Kavaz Explains: Dental Crowns
Dental Crown treatment is of one the most popular cosmetic dentistry services in Turkey. We can explain dental crowns as coverings. They fit over an existing tooth.
The word "coverings" may make you think they are the same as dental veneers, but there is a difference. While veneers cover only the front side, crowns cover the entire tooth.
Your dentist may prefer using dental crown treatment if you have weak, broken, or decayed teeth. Also, you should consider your dentist will have to remove a small amount of enamel from your tooth before bonding your new crown.
What we learned from our previous experiences when designing a dental crown treatment is to create a natural-looking smile. We will discuss all of these with you and will reach the best result.
In Turkey, what types of dental crowns are used?
We use 5 different types of teeth crowns in Turkey as you see below:
- Ceramic Crowns
- Porcelain Crowns
- Zirconia Crowns
- Metal Crowns
- Composite Resin Crowns
Ceramic Crowns: An all-ceramic crown consists entirely of porcelain or another type of ceramic. The crown sits over a filed-down tooth in order to restore its appearance, shape, or structure.
Porcelain Crowns: Porcelain crowns restore the natural appearance of your teeth. Porcelain crowns are designed to match your existing teeth, which is important if you need one on your front teeth. They’re more aesthetic than metal crowns.
Zirconia Crowns: Zirconia is one of the newer materials used for dental restorative treatments. A zirconium oxide is a type of ceramic that is stronger than porcelain and some metal alloys. It encounters fewer sharp edges due to normal wear and tear.
Metal Crowns: Dental crowns are made from several metals by dental technicians. It is rare for metal crowns to chip or break. As far as wear is concerned, they last the longest, and they only require a small amount of enamel removal. Additionally, they can withstand biting and chewing.
Composite Resin Crowns: A resin composite is a material that replaces lost tooth tissue, regulates the colour and contour of a tooth, and improves facial aesthetics as a result. It is possible to apply resin composites for a wide range of purposes on the market.
Who is a good candidate for dental crowns?
Dental crown candidates usually suffer from the following problems:
- Teeth that are broken, cracked, or fractured
- The walls of the teeth are vulnerable to breaking when large dental fillings are placed
- Dental decay that is severe
- Extraction or falling out of a tooth can result in a missing tooth
- Teeth that are undersized or badly eroded
How do veneers and crowns differ?
Veneers and crowns differ from the following problems:
- A veneer covers only the front surface of a tooth. Crowns replace the entire biting surface of a tooth.
- Veneers must be applied to natural teeth. A dental crown can replace a natural tooth on a dental implant.
- Crowns and veneers are typically reserved for molars and premolars when applied to natural teeth.
- Costs for veneers are lower than crowns.
- Veneers and crowns can be made from some of the same materials, but crowns are put under a lot more force when chewed.
- Crowns are primarily a restorative treatment that restores appearance, while veneers are mostly cosmetic.

Common Questions about Dental Crowns
Here are the answers to most common inquiries to help you feel fully prepared.
Yes! Dental crown bridges are a great solution to replacing a missing tooth. The dental practitioners at our clinic will examine your specific case and recommend a solution that will restore your missing tooth and improve your dental functionality.
The answer is yes. Ceramic crowns look like natural teeth because they are translucent, making them aesthetically pleasing. They are also a really easy fit, making them look even more natural.
From Hollywood white to natural white, they can pick any color based on their needs and desires.
Crowns and Veneers are expected to last around 10 to 15 years. Personal hygiene, paying attention to not biting hard foods and general cleaning can affect the life span of them. That’s why proper care is needed.
All of our dental crowns and veneers come with a guarantee. The guarantee will be discussed during the consultation.
During the process of discussing the personalized treatment plan, we'll discuss the cost of removing existing crowns or veneers as well.
Our procedures are planned out with care before the beginning of the treatment. Local anesthesia is used to make the procedure pain-free for the entire duration of it. However, there will be a bit of pain after the treatment is done. This can linger up to two weeks.
There will be three, might be four, dental appointments for the duration of the treatment. First appointment will be the general overlay of the treatment. At the second appointment the teeth that will get the crowns will be filed down and impressions will be taken. These impressions will be used to create the crowns. The last appointment will be about placing the crowns to the teeth.
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental crowns can last between 10 to 15 years.
Although dental crowns are highly effective, some people may feel sensitive to hot or cold temperatures after they get them. With time, this sensitivity usually goes away. Another potential disadvantage is that crowns are a lifelong solution.
Even though it's rare, the natural teeth can still decay at the edge of the dental crown. In order to prevent this, proper dental hygiene and regular check ups is needed.
Traditional crowns usually have an underlying metal that causes black lines near the gum line. The black line is caused by the underlying metal. A ceramic crown, a laminate veneer and the zirconium crown, however, eliminates this concern, providing a seamless look that does not leave any black line.
Although it's rare, crowns can sometimes come loose. This can be because of the glue coming off or an eating habit. Contact our dental team immediately if this happens.
A tooth can turn brown if there is decay under the crown or if there is a problem with the crown. To solve the problem quickly, seek professional help.
A properly placed and taken care of crowns should not cause any breath odor. However, as we said before, proper dental hygiene is needed for this.
Flossing, using water floss and brushing the teeth with the right technique are effective ways to clean a dental crown. Dental office cleanings every 6 months by our experts will also ensure thorough cleaning and maintenance of the crowns and prolong their life.
A tooth crown infection may cause persistent pain, sensitivity, swelling, or red gums around the crown. See a dentist right away if you have any of these symptoms.
A badly fitted crown, poor dental hygiene and gum disease can be the causes of gum recession around the crown areas. However, it is also expected for the gum to temporarily recess a bit after a recent crown placement.
When possible, you should always keep your natural tooth with a crown as opposed to extracting it.. You can keep your smile healthy with dental crowns because they provide stability and prevent extractions from happening.
If a dental crown chips, breaks or comes off you should immediately contact your dentist.
The process of replacing a dental crown is not painful as the filing portion of the procedure has already been done. During the taking off and the replacing of the crown is done with the help of anesthesia. Hence why the patient does not feel anything.
Food particles can always get stuck under or around the crown. This can cause decays and damage the crown in the long run. That’s why proper oral hygiene is advised.
Providing excellent durability and support, porcelain crowns match the strength of natural teeth. However, they are not stronger than the natural teeth.
It is really normal for the patient to feel weird and uncomfortable during the first weeks after the procedure. This feeling subsides in time and the patient will get used to the crown. This happens around the 2 to 3 week mark.
