Dental Crowns are one of the most popular treatments in our Fethiye clinic.
Crowns are the perfect solution for broken teeth or teeth that are weak due to a large cavity or poor enamel. They are fabricated to look like real teeth so the appearance is very natural. If you are planning a few Dental Crowns with your natural teeth in-between the dentist will choose the colour most appropriate colour to ensure a good match. Crowns can be made from a variety of materials with the standard Crowns being Metal Porcelain (A silver metal core with porelain fused to the outside) or Zirconium Porcelain (A white metal core with porcelain fused to the outside).
We also offer the very latest Pure Porcelain and E-Max Crowns created in the clinic using smile design software and Cad/ Cam technology (more information is below). The choice is yours and it will depend on the location of your Crown and of course your budget. More information about the different types of Crowns offered at our Fethiye clinic can be found below.
DENTAL CROWN TYPES
METAL FUSED PORCELAIN CROWNS
Metal Porcelain Crowns consist of a a precious silver Metal core with Porcelain fused to the outside. The silver core is not apparent, however the colour of the Crown is slightly duller in colour compared to its Zirconium counterpart. This type of Crown is ideal for back teeth (Molars) or the teeth along the side of your mouth. It can also be used along the front jaw however if your gums receed overtime you may see a thin grey line along your gum line. If your budget allows we always recommend Zirconium Porcelain Crowns for your front jaw (smile line).
ZIRCONIUM FUSED PORCELAIN CROWNS
Zirconium that is used in Dentistry is a pure white Metal. In most cases it is non-allergic. The core of the Crown is created from Zirconium with Porcelain fused to the outside. As the materials used are 100% white the Crown is more transulcent compared to a Metal Porcelain Crown and the appearance is very natural. Some patients choose Zirconium Crowns for all of their teeth while other patients choose Zirconium Crowns along their smile line.
