The major purpose of dental crowns is to save your original tooth if it is in healthy enough condition. Dental crowns are also considered to be a full Dental Veneer, also known as a “cap” is a type of restorative dentistry. Dental crowns are generally confused with dental veneers. Where veneers cover only the visible surface of a tooth, a dental crown covers the whole tooth. When affixed, the crown fully encases the portion of the damaged tooth that sits above the gum line. Dental crowns are custom made to fit over each tooth. Dental crowns are recommended to cover teeth that are damaged, broken, worn down or heavily filled. It can cover up severely damaged enamel that is disrupting your good smile. In some cases where your existing teeth are abnormally shaped or you are unhappy with the general appearance (or discoloration) of them they can be recommended. Dental crowns in Turkey can be sculptured to match your existing teeth and close gaps (bridge work) to create a new smile makeover. Dental Crowns will also protect your tooth underneath, preserving your natural tooth and gums for a longer period of time.
Dental Crowns also form the top part of dental implants to replace missing teeth. The crown is fitted to an implant inserted into the jawline to form a complete artificial tooth. Dental crowns can be either permanent or temporary. Dental Crowns fitted to implants are permanent. Some crows can be capped onto teeth stubs to act as temporary artificial teeth that improve your smile.
Dental Crowns can be used in order to achieve a cosmetic result that goes beyond the dental area. Patients report that the results can be seen throughout the facial region, plumping the cheeks, lips and smoothing out lines around the mouth itself, lending a more youthful and refreshed look to the entire face. The Dental Crowns are often employed to great effect to accomplish Smile Makeovers and Dental Facelifts.
Dental Crowns are constructed from a wide variety of materials which are very resilient and durable. They’re designed to endure the traumas of chewing just as effectively as the rest of your teeth. The choice of dental crown material may vary from area to area they are being used.
YOUR TREATMENT CAN BE COMPLETED IN 5-7 DAYS (depending on damage).
Uses and Reasons for Dental Crowns
A dentist may prescribe a dental crown to treat the following conditions:
- To give an improved, natural and healthier smile
- To form an artificial tooth with a dental implant
- Protect tooth from further decay and infection
- To restore functionality of a broken, fractured, weak or a worn down tooth
- To add length to an existing tooth and to close gaps in between teeth
- Improve how a tooth looks (fixing crookedness, severe staining or tooth discoloration)
- To protect natural enamel at risk of cavity and fracturing, such as after root canal treatment
You may also need a new crown if a dental filling or an old crown has failed.
What are the benefits of teeth crown?
- A crown is a strong replacement that will look and feel exactly like a natural tooth. The colour, shape and size can be matched to your original teeth. Also, it improves chewing and talking
- Dental crowns protect original teeth from the risk of severe damage
- If enamel has been worn away and only a stub is remaining, you can use a dental crown without removing the tooth
- Dental crowns can be used to create dental bridges in order to replace your missing teeth
- Depending on the strength of the tooth left on which the crown is put, a crown can last for several years.
- Crown teeths restore full functionality and improve appearance.
Stages of Treatment
We start with shaping your uneven or damaged teeth to easily fit the crown which will have the same size and shape with your original tooth. Depending on the amount of damage the preparation time of the crown varies from patient to patient. In case of a dead tooth, where there is very little left of your original tooth it may have to be root-fitted first. This is also called ‘removing the nerve’. The crown is sometimes held in place by a peg or post in the root canal in the case of heavy damages. Soft mouldable material is used to make an exact impression of what remains of the tooth that is to be crowned and the adjacent teeth. This impression of your teeth will be used to make the crown. This is to make sure there are no abnormalities. Before the process is started a temporary crown made of plastic or metal is usually put over the tooth until the permanent crown is made. You can chew on a temporary crown but it won’t be as strong as the finished one. After the crown is fitted, small adjustments can be made to make sure you can bite and chew comfortably. Properly tried and tested crown then will be cemented into the place.
The procedure for a tooth crown typically takes between 45 minutes to 1 hour and a half. The time may vary due to the fact that there may be a large filling that needs to be removed or there may also be a large cavity. Also, the size of the tooth makes a difference. If the dentist is working on a smaller tooth, such as a front tooth or a premolar then this will take less time then a molar.
Types of Dental Crowns
Before any type of crown is suggested our clinicians will have a thorough look at the damage. They will recommend the best type of crown for your dental restoration needs based on the chewing placement and structure of the tooth or implant that requires protection. Also, at the time your crown is chosen, your dentist will work with you to choose a shade that matches your other teeth.
There are different types of crowns and each type has its own characteristics and qualities. Some examples of materials used for dental crowns or “caps” are gold, metal, porcelain fused to metal, zirconia (porcelain fused to zirconium), empress (full porcelain) or full ceramic crowns (E-max).
Zirconia and E-max crowns are the new trends in cosmetic dentistry and their popularity is increasing day by day. Also, full ceramic (E-max) or full porcelain (Empress) crowns can be used if the patient is allergic to a particular type of metal.
Metal Porcelain Crowns (PFM)
Metal Porcelain Crowns -also known as PFM- are the product of the combination of porcelain and metal crowns. These crowns are very strong and they will strengthen the tooth that it is covering, but are not suitable for all people or all positions within the dental area. The core of the crown itself is usually made from a nickel based grey metal with an overlay of white porcelain fused to the outside in order to give a white natural and tooth like appearance. Unfortunately, even though considered to be very durable, The with PFM is if your gums recede, when you smile, a dark line will be visible where the crown meets the gums. If you choose Metal Porcelain Crowns, it is recommended that you replace them after 6-8 years to maintain the health of your teeth and gums. They are most suitable for use on the side or back teeth and for use over Dental Implants.
PFM is not as durable as with approximately up to 800 Mpa which is a lower durability than Zirconia crowns offer. Also, we do not offer PFM Dental Crowns for your front teeth if you are not on a strict budget.
Advantages of metal fused to porcelain crowns:
* They are strong and durable.
* They have a very high rate of success in the long run.
* The best part of these crowns is the stability and strength which is unmatched to any other restorations available today.
* These are best for patients looking for durability and those on a budget.
* PFM is a preferred choice when bridges for the long run are required and night grinding is a problem.
All Metal Porcelain Crowns provided by our clinic are crafted in our on-site laboratories known for dental excellence and accuracy. It is important to remember, the skills of the Cosmetic Dentist is only one aspect of your treatment. The quality of the Crowns themselves, combined with the skills of the Dental Technician is also vitally important to ensure a good end result.
E-MAX Crowns
E-max is an all-ceramic system that is based on Lithium disilicate glass and consists of quartz, lithium dioxide, phosphorus oxide, alumina, potassium oxide and trace elements. E-max based all-ceramic prostheses are rapidly gaining widespread popularity in cosmetic dentistry due to their excellent esthetics, durability, and strength.
Some information you saw may contain that E-max crowns are also made fully from porcelain. This name similarity is natural since both materials are similar and they are also being used for E-max procedure together. Sometimes, substructure of E-max crown is made from full ceramic and upper structure is made from full porcelain, however the general use will be full ceramic when said E-max crown.
Advantages Of E-max All Ceramic Crowns
Purely made of ceramic, which is translucent, these crowns are very life-like and blend well with the rest of your natural teeth. They have the ability to replicate both the form and function of natural teeth.
- All ceramic crowns are constructed using the latest computer technology, CEREC-CAD/CAM technology which is based upon 3D design
- Natural appearance -aesthetics- as they are cosmetically the most pleasing crowns
- Visually more appealing and natural without looking fake
- Have a better fit due to the precise way they are milled
- Strong and extremely durable
- The material used is ‘bio-compatible’which is kind to your gums and tissues
- There is no risk of any allergic reaction or sensitivity to hot or cold foods
- Thinner material and as a result, feel lighter in weight
- The crowns have longevity as they can last disfigure for at least 10 years
E-max crowns are not the most favourable options for load-bearing areas such as molar teeth. E-max crowns are glass based materials and they are more prone to fractures under high pressure such as in the molar teeth. The most important factor affecting the lifespan of any restorative treatment is oral hygiene of the patient.
The only disadvantage of E-max crowns is they are not suitable for bridges.
We understand the fact that great attention is needed to produce these crowns counting they require high expertise and this is what Dentalara take care of.
Zirconium Porcelain Crowns (Zirconia)
Zirconium porcelain teeth are made on white zirconium metal. Due to its white color, light transmittance and durability, it is a groundbreaking type of dentistry that allows aesthetic prosthesis treatments.
Recently, although Zirconia crowns relatively new, they are among the most preferred treatments. The porcelain used is coated on a metal called zirconium. Also in some cases Dental Crowns in Turkey are created from 100% Zirconium without the need for Porcelain. The most important feature of this metal is that it is a light transmitting structure that allows it to adapt to natural teeth. Individuals who want aesthetically appealing artificial teeth for themselves prefer zirconia crowns. Zirconium, a solid metal, provides high durability to the porcelain coated on it. When compared to porcelain with metal infrastructure, Zirconia has aesthetic advantages. It is because in metal-based porcelains, the opaque paint used to cover the grayness of the metal makes the porcelain appear more opaque and dull, while the depth of light is lost.
The preparation of zirconium supported prosthesis is the same as the alternatives. The difference starts only at the laboratory phase. Such prostheses are produced by computer assisted devices featuring CAD CAM technology. The patient is scanned by means of optical readers with the measurements taken from the mouth and shaped by milling cutter systems without touch of hand. The data that is formed with the help of cameras is loaded on the computer and designs (CAD) are obtained and produced (CAM).
Advantages of Zirconia
Previously porcelain fused to metal dental crowns in Turkey were popular earlier, however the metal layer underneath the porcelain layer which is on top of the crown becomes visable usually at the gum line over time. This is more evident when you smile. Zirconia dental crowns in Turkey help you get over this and boost your confidence.
The aesthetic, given by zirconium to tooth view, is the biggest advantage of zirconium. Zirconium crowns can be modified (produced in any shape-size) according to tooth set in the mouth.
Here some of the plus points of the zirconia crowns which makes them stand ahead from the regular and traditional crowns.
- Since the light transmittance of zirconium tooth coatings is very close to our natural tooth, it provides a natural appearance and unnoticeablity. Especially when making your anterior teeth, it is recommended in order to provide a natural tooth view along your smile line.
- Its compatibility with gums is very good compared to traditional porcelains over metal. While porcelain over metal can cause purplish appearance in gums, this is not the case with zirconium.
- It is strong, durable and endurable against breaks. It also tolerates chewing or biting forces well.
- Staying in the mouth for a long time does not create any problem because the material is bio-adapted.
- Less dental tissue is cut. In traditional metal covered with porcelain, dental tissue is cut more to reduce the grayish appearance reflected from the metal and provide a more natural appearance.
- Since zirconium supported porcelains feature a high resistance of 900-1400 megapascal, they can be comfortably used on the posterior molar teeth either. Use of zirconium is also common for 3-4 unit bridges.
- They are also a healthier option because they do not contain any nickel like porcelain fused to metal crowns do.
- It is also expected that the hot and cold sensitivity will be less as the teeth will be cut less.
Zirconia crowns adhere well to your tooth. One of the reasons why Porcelain Fused Metal crowns were the preferred choice is that the metal surface bonds well with the tooth and holds the crown in place. Zirconia also has this property.
Disadvantages of using Zirconium Crown
The disadvantage is that they can almost never be destroyed. Because of their strong structure, decay cannot be realized under zirconia. Tooth decay can only be seen when crown is removed.
Dentalara’s German Zirconium Crowns are crafted from A grade Zirconium in on-site laboratories known for dental excellence and accuracy. It is important to remember, the skills of the Cosmetic Dentist is only one aspect of your treatment. The quality of the Crowns themselves, combined with the skills of the Dental Technician is also vitally important to ensure a good end result. In all cases, the laboratories use only the very best materials that are sourced from across the globe.
Empress Crown (Full Porcelain Crown)
It consists purely of ceramic with no metal substructure. It is also possible to call them full porcelain teeth. Empress crowns can be applied on discolored teeth due to the use of antibiotics or flourine, discolorations due to aging, teeth with root canal therapy where no results are achieved with whitening, teeth with congenital texture and shape disorders, teeth with positional disorders, physically and chemically degraded teeth over time. Empress crowns are not preferable on big molar teeth, which are known as back zone teeth, where masticatory forces and side forces are exerted increasingly and on frontal and back zone restorations where more than one teeth are missing.
What Are The Stages Of Empress Crown Procedure?
Your dentist takes photos of you before the treatment and measures the your teeth. The tooth is anesthetized. It is abraded. Once the appropriate shape for the crown is achieved, the tooth is measured. The tooth is prepared in the laboratory. It is rehearsed inside the mouth. Its color, size and surface features are evaluated and it is given shape. It is sent back to the laboratory if corrections are needed. When the corrections are done, it is placed onto the tooth using a special adhesive.
Do Empress Crowns Change Color or Shape Over Time?
One of the biggest advantages of empress dental tooth crown is that the color remains unchanged. Because the material used is glass ceramic. Although a layer of dirt is formed on the surface over the years due to factors such as smoking, it can easily be cleaned with a dental cleaning session applied by the dentist. When the recommended regular tooth brushing process is carried out, this cleaning session will not be necessary.
How long do dental crowns last?
On average, dental crowns in Turkey last between 15 and 20 years. The life span of a crown depends on the amount of wear and tear the crown takes, how well you follow good oral hygiene practices and your personal mouth-related habits.
Dental Crowns in Turkey Aftercare
Below are the top things that you need to know about dental crowns in Turkey aftercare. To keep the crown, your gums, and the rest of your teeth in good condition, make sure to follow these guidelines strictly.
A) Temporary Crowns
During your initial visit, your dentist will begin prep work on your crowns. This includes taking an impression of your teeth to get a custom one made. It also involves filing down your tooth for an improved fit. Now, until the custom crowns are made, you will be fitted with temporary crowns. It is incredibly vital that you take good care of this temporary crowns. Since the fit isn’t exact and temporary crowns aren’t all that durable, there is a possibility that a hard piece of food can damage, break, or dislodge the crown. Thus, you need to follow your dentist’s instructions perfectly if you want it to remain in place until your permanent crowns are ready.
1) Choose Foods Carefully
The first thing you will need to do is to be more selective of the food that you eat for a while. It is best to stay away from foods that can be considered chewy or sticky. These can stick to the crowns and then pull them off, requiring you to undergo a new procedure. On a similar note, you should also avoid very hard foods for a while as well. You may also want to make a conscious effort to chew on the other side of your mouth for a while. At the very least, focus on that side for tougher foods. This, too, will minimize the risk of the temporary crowns getting damaged.
2) Be Cautious When Flossing
While the temporary crowns are in place, it is important for you to continue brushing your teeth and flossing as normal. Nevertheless, you do need to be a bit more careful in the manner in which you floss. Avoid pulling the floss upwards from the space between your teeth. Instead, gently slide it out of the gum line. This way, there is less chance of the crowns slipping out.
B) The Permanent Crowns
The good news is that your final dental crowns in Turkey will be a lot more durable than your initial ones. What’s more, they will also provide you with a better fit, ensuring that they will not be dislodged as easily. That being said, you must know how to care for it properly.
1) Immediately After the Procedure
It will take around 24 hours for your crowns to be properly cemented on top of your existing tooth. Until this has happened, there is a risk of the crowns being pulled off by foods or by too much force in the areas of the crown. This is why you must wait at least an hour or two before you can consume any food or drink. After this, it is best to eat soft foods and to stay away from anything that is hard, chewy, or crunchy. You can resume your regular diet once the crowns have been cemented thoroughly. For this period of time, you must also be careful when flossing between your teeth. After 24 hours, you can resume your regular oral care routine.
2) Continuing Care
There is a chance that you may feel some sensitivity/pain for first month, it’s very normal and we are expecting that. During this time, your dentist will advise you to use a toothpaste that reduces sensitivity. You can also gargle with salt water 3 times a day to help the healing process. The purpose of your dental crowns is to strengthen the area above the gum line. It is important for you to follow a healthy routine. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing on a regular basis. If you have a history of periodontal disease, your dentist may recommend that you use a fluoride rinse daily as well. This will help to prevent tooth decay. It is also important to keep in mind that despite being durable, crowns still have the chance of being damaged. So, you should try to minimize risky activities as much as possible. Avoid biting down on ice, crack nuts, open a beer cap and other hard foods or materials. Also, protect your teeth well if you are engaging in high-contact sports. If you have a bruxing/grinding habit you must wear your night guards every day while you are sleeping.
When to Contact Your Dentist
It is a good idea to visit your local dentist on schedule. This will allow him or her to carefully examine the crowns and ensure that everything is in good condition.
