The first step in getting dental crowns in Antalya is to consult with a dentist. After listening to the patient's complaints and requests, radiological imaging procedures are performed and evaluated. Problems that need to be treated first, such as cavities or gum disease, are treated. The colour tone of the zirconia teeth is decided. Then the treatment plan is prepared.
The next day, the patient comes to the clinic and the necessary preparations are made for zirconia crown. At this stage, the teeth are ground down by 0.1-0.3 mm. Measurements are taken for Antalya Crown and temporary crowns are placed to protect the teeth from sensitivity. It takes the laboratory an average of 2-3 days to prepare zirconia crown.
The patient comes to the clinic for the final stage of treatment. Temporary crowns in the patient's mouth are easily removed, and a high-quality bonding is applied. Then, zirconia monolithic dental crowns, specially prepared for the patient, are placed. The patient performs a bite check, and adjustments are made if necessary.
Zirconia crowns are very strong and long-lasting, but they require proper care. The most important part of this care is daily oral hygiene. Gently cleaning the crowns with dental floss and a toothbrush will extend their lifespan. Additionally, chewing gum, acidic drinks, and excessive coffee consumption can cause wear and discolouration of the crowns. Finally, it is important to avoid very hard foods.
Unique Smile Turkey uses high-quality dental crowns and adhesives. This ensures that strong and natural-looking zirconia teeth become inevitable.

Although zirconia crowns possess various benefits, they also bear certain disadvantages that patients ought to be mindful of. Here are some of the disadvantages:
In order to bond the crowns, all surfaces of the tooth enamel must first be removed to a millimetre level. This grinding process is minimal.
Zirconium crowns are more expensive than metal-supported porcelain crowns.
Although zirconia crowns generally provide exceptional visual appeal, there are situations where materials such as lithium disilicate (e.g., e-max crowns) may be favoured for their superior cosmetic outcome, especially when dealing with extremely thin front teeth that require significant translucency.
Potential wear on opposing teeth may occur due to the use of zirconia crowns, similar to any other dental restoration.
The most suitable candidates for zirconia crowns are:
Those with broken teeth and deep cavities,
Those with severely discoloured teeth,
Those with metal allergies,
Those planning a smile makeover.
Those with uncontrolled gum recession and advanced disease may experience short-lived results even with treatment. This is because as gum recession continues, the tooth beneath the crowns may become exposed over time. Patients with missing teeth should also plan a treatment that provides support for the crowns. They can receive zirconia crowns by planning dental bridge or dental implant. Dental crowns can be used when there is a mild misalignment problem. However, they cannot be applied when there is occlusion disorder or severe crowding.
Zirconium crown in Antalya is usually completed within 5-7 days. While you are in Antalya, you will only need to visit the clinic two or three times. The duration of dental crown varies depending on whether the patient requires additional procedures and the number of zirconia crowns to be applied.
Zirconia crowns have a lifespan of 15 years. According to research, the survival rate after 10 years is 85-90%. These crowns are resistant to pressure up to 900 MPa and are very durable. However, this duration is directly related to maintenance, oral habits and the quality of application. With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, zirconia crowns can be used for decades without any problems.
In Turkey, zirconia crowns are fitted by highly experienced dentists to high standards. Despite this, prices are much more affordable than zirconia crown prices in the UK. This difference in price is due to lower operating costs in Turkey compared to the UK and government incentives. At Unique Smile Turkey, the price for a zirconia crown per tooth is £159, and the price for a zirconium exclusive crown per tooth is £220. A temporary denture (per jaw) is £150.

Zirconia crown problems are rare. One of the most common problems is the fracture or cracking of the crown layer. This risk is higher in patients who grind or clench their teeth. It can also be caused by biting pencils or cracking biscuit shells with the teeth.
Aesthetic limitations may be noticeable in some patients. Zirconia looks natural, but older generation or thick zirconia crowns may appear slightly duller than natural teeth. Selecting the right type of zirconia and appropriate colour planning reduces this problem.
In addition, crowns that are not carefully prepared and do not fit properly on the tooth and gum can cause problems. They can cause plaque build-up between the gum and the crown. The occlusion adjustments must also be flawless. Otherwise, poor occlusion will cause discomfort to the patient. By having this treatment done at reputable dental centres, you minimise the risk of encountering these problems. CAM/CAD technology overcomes these limitations by enabling the placement of crowns that perfectly match the patient's teeth.
