Dentist Büşra Kayan · Neon Klinik · Kemerburgaz, Eyüpsultan
A zirconia crown strengthens and renews a tooth that has significant structural loss, has had root canal treatment, or has color/shape irregularities, by placing a zirconia ceramic cap over it.
Zirconia is a frequently preferred crown material due to its light translucency close to natural enamel and its high durability.
Which tooth is suitable for a zirconia crown is determined after examination, based on the tooth's existing structure and overall oral health.
Suitability for all treatments above is determined after an in-person examination and clinical assessment.
Who Is It Suitable For?
A zirconia crown is a treatment option considered for teeth with large fillings, root canal treatment, fractures, severe wear, or where a color/shape change is desired.
Exact suitability is determined during examination based on the tooth's and gum's condition.
How Does It Work?
The tooth is prepared by removing a thin layer to allow the crown to fit.
A digital or conventional impression is taken, and a custom zirconia crown is manufactured and fixed onto the tooth with a special adhesive.
How Is The Treatment Performed?
In the first session, the tooth is prepared, an impression is taken, and a temporary crown is placed until the crown is ready.
Once the zirconia crown is ready, the temporary crown is removed, the permanent crown is tried for fit, and then fixed in place.
What Should Be Considered Afterward?
Mild sensitivity may occur in the first few days; this usually decreases quickly.
Regular brushing, flossing, and periodic check-ups help extend the lifespan of the crown.
Avoiding biting extremely hard foods is recommended.

Why isn't pricing listed on the website?
Turkey's Ministry of Health advertising regulations prohibit healthcare providers from advertising prices or promotions. In addition, the amount of material and number of sessions needed vary by person, so a single figure would be misleading. Information specific to you is shared directly after an examination.
