A crown is a cap that covers the whole visible part of a tooth. To fit one, the dentist files the tooth down so the crown can sit over it. Crowns can be made from zirconia, E-max (a glass ceramic) or porcelain fused to metal.
Crowns are useful for teeth that are badly broken, heavily filled or root-treated. Filing down a healthy tooth removes natural tooth structure that can't be replaced, so crowns on healthy teeth purely for appearance are a decision to think through carefully.
Who it may suit
- Teeth that are cracked, badly broken down, heavily filled or root-treated.
- You should be assessed by a qualified dentist, with X-rays, before you receive a treatment plan.
- Ask whether less invasive options would work for your teeth before agreeing to crowns.
How long you'll stay in Turkiye
Crown treatment can usually be completed in one trip of 5 to 7 days, allowing time to prepare the teeth, make the crowns and fit them.
Recovery & aftercare
Typical timings. Your doctor will give you a personal plan.
- First days
- Some sensitivity to hot and cold is common after the teeth are prepared and the crowns fitted.
- First weeks
- Your bite may feel different at first; the dentist can adjust it before you leave.
Once you're home
- Follow the dentist's instructions on cleaning, mouthwash and diet in the first weeks.
- Avoid smoking: it slows healing and makes implant failure more likely.
- Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth and around implants, and keep up regular check-ups with a dentist at home.
- Bring your X-rays, treatment records and the implant details home so your own dentist knows what was done.
- Contact the clinic if swelling or pain gets worse after the first few days, or if an implant or crown feels loose.
Risks to know about
Every procedure carries risks. These are some of the main ones. The treating doctor will explain the risks that apply to you before you give your consent.
- The preparation can't be undone: the tooth will always need a crown.
- The tooth's nerve can become inflamed or die after preparation, which may later need root canal treatment.
- Crowns can chip, come loose or need replacing over time.
- Gum problems around the edge of crowns if they aren't cleaned well.

Frequently asked questions
Zirconia, E-max or porcelain: what's the difference?
They differ in strength and appearance. Zirconia is very strong, E-max is often chosen for front teeth for its translucency, and porcelain fused to metal has a metal core. The dentist recommends the material for each tooth.
Can I have veneers instead?
Veneers cover only the front of the tooth and usually remove less tooth structure. Ask the dentist which option suits your teeth.
