Dental Crowns in Turkey: Complete Guide to Restoring Your Smile at Laviva Clinic

What Are Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that completely cover damaged, decayed, or aesthetically displeasing teeth. They restore a tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance, effectively giving you a new tooth surface while preserving the natural tooth underneath.

At Laviva Clinic, we specialize in providing high-quality dental crowns that not only enhance your smile but also improve your oral function and overall quality of life.

Why Choose Dental Crowns?

Dental crowns offer multiple benefits and are recommended in various situations:

• Protection: Strengthening weakened teeth and preventing further damage
• Restoration: Repairing severely damaged or decayed teeth
• Aesthetics: Improving the appearance of discolored or misshapen teeth
• Support: Holding dental bridges in place
• Covering: Protecting dental implants
• Functionality: Restoring proper chewing and speaking ability

Types of Dental Crowns Available at Laviva Clinic

At Laviva Clinic Istanbul, we offer various types of dental crowns to meet your specific needs:

1. Metal Crowns

• Advantages: Extremely durable, require minimal tooth reduction, less likely to chip or break
• Best for: Back molars where strength is crucial and aesthetics less important
• Durability: 15+ years with proper care

2. Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) Crowns

• Composition: Metal base with porcelain outer layer

• Best for: Front or back teeth when both strength and aesthetics matter

• Note: May show a thin metal line near the gum line

3. All-Ceramic or All-Porcelain Crowns

• Best for: Front teeth where aesthetics are paramount
• Durability: 8-15 years with proper care
• Note: Slightly less durable than metal options but constantly improving

4. Zirconia Crowns

• Composition: Zirconium dioxide, a crystal-like material
• Advantages: Extremely strong, natural-looking, minimal tooth reduction required
• Best for: Any tooth position, especially suitable for patients who grind their teeth
• Durability: 15+ years with proper care
• Note: Combines the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain

The Dental Crown Procedure at Laviva Clinic

At Laviva Clinic, our dental crown procedure is streamlined and efficient, typically completed within 5-7 days:

1. Initial Consultation and Examination

Our expert dentists will examine your teeth, take X-rays if necessary, and discuss your goals and options. We’ll help you choose the right crown material based on your needs, preferences, and budget.

2. Tooth Preparation

The tooth receiving the crown is reshaped to accommodate the crown. This involves removing a small amount of the outer layer of the tooth. If your tooth is severely damaged or decayed, we may need to build it up first to support the crown.

3. Digital Impressions

We use state-of-the-art digital scanning technology to create precise impressions of your prepared tooth. This ensures a perfect fit for your new crown.

4. Temporary Crown Placement

While your permanent crown is being fabricated in our on-site laboratory, we’ll place a temporary crown to protect your prepared tooth.

5. Final Crown Fitting and Cementation

When your permanent crown is ready, we’ll remove the temporary crown, check the fit and appearance of the new crown, make any necessary adjustments, and permanently cement it in place.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Crowns

How long do dental crowns last?

With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns can last 10-15 years or even longer. Factors affecting longevity include the material used, your oral hygiene practices, and whether you have habits like teeth grinding.

Is getting a dental crown painful?

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the treatment. Some sensitivity may occur after the procedure, but this typically subsides within a few days.

How many visits will I need for a dental crown at Laviva Clinic?

For international patients, we optimize treatment schedules to require minimal visits. Typically, the entire process takes 5-7 days from initial consultation to permanent crown placement.

Can I get same-day dental crowns?

In some cases, we can offer same-day crown services using our advanced CAD/CAM technology. However, this depends on your specific situation and the type of crown selected. Our dentists will advise on the best approach for your needs.

Will my dental crown look natural?

Absolutely! Modern dental crowns, especially all-ceramic and zirconia options, are designed to match your natural teeth perfectly in terms of color, shape, and translucency. Our expert dentists take great care to ensure your crown blends seamlessly with your smile.

How do I care for my temporary crown?

While wearing a temporary crown, avoid sticky or hard foods, chew on the opposite side of your mouth if possible, and be gentle when flossing around the temporary crown to prevent dislodging it.

Are dental crowns covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans provide partial coverage for dental crowns when they’re deemed medically necessary. We recommend checking with your insurance provider regarding coverage details before treatment.
