Zirconia
A ceramic material used for suitable crowns and bridges. Design, thickness and finishing are considered alongside appearance.
DENTAL TREATMENTS
Dental crowns in Istanbul
Restore a damaged tooth with a crown selected for strength, fit, appearance and your bite.
OVERVIEW
Understand the treatment.
A crown is a restoration that covers a prepared tooth. It can be used when a tooth needs more support than a filling provides, or as part of an implant restoration. A natural-tooth crown and an implant crown have different foundations and treatment requirements.
SUITABILITY
Start with your oral health.
The assessment considers the amount of remaining tooth, cracks, previous fillings, root health and gum support. A crown is not automatically the first choice for a healthy tooth simply because its colour or position is not ideal.
YOUR OPTIONS
Compare the approaches.
Glass ceramics
Ceramic options can be considered where their optical and mechanical properties fit the clinical situation.
Other restorative options
Depending on the tooth, a filling, inlay, onlay or veneer may conserve more natural structure than a full crown.
TREATMENT STAGES
Know what happens next.
Assess the foundation
Investigate the tooth and supporting tissues and address active disease where needed.
Prepare and scan
Shape the tooth as agreed and record the preparation and bite for restoration design.
Protect the tooth
A temporary restoration may protect the preparation while the final crown is made.
Fit and review
Check contacts, margins, bite and appearance before completing the fitting and aftercare discussion.
RECOVERY & RISKS
Plan for the next stage.
Recovery and maintenance
A new crown can feel different initially. Tell the dentist if the bite feels high or sensitivity persists. Cleaning at the gum margin and between teeth remains essential because the natural tooth underneath can still develop decay.
Risks and limitations
A prepared tooth may become sensitive or require further treatment. Crowns can loosen, chip or wear; gums and surrounding teeth also affect long-term performance. Replacement is sometimes needed and no material removes the need for care.
COST & TIMELINE
A proposal you can understand.
Ask whether the quote includes the build-up of the tooth, temporary crown, laboratory material, fitting and review. Root canal care or other preparatory treatment may be separate if clinically required.
Your written plan should explain appointment stages, expected healing periods and any return visit. The dates and final recommendation depend on your examination; a provisional online discussion cannot guarantee a treatment schedule.
TECHNOLOGY & MATERIALS
The detail behind your plan.
Digital scanning, clinically indicated CBCT imaging and CAD/CAM workflows support Hospitali’s diagnostic and restorative care. Your dentist selects the tools relevant to your procedure rather than using every technology for every patient.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your questions, answered.
Do all crowns need root canal treatment?
No. Root canal treatment is based on the health of the pulp and other clinical findings, not simply on the decision to fit a crown.
Is zirconia always the right material?
No. The position of the tooth, bite, space and appearance goals influence the choice. Discuss the advantages and limitations of the proposed material.
Can I whiten a crown later?
Whitening does not change a crown in the same way as a natural tooth. Discuss the sequence of whitening and restorative treatment before selecting the shade.
