What is a Dental Crown?

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a damaged, decayed, or aesthetically compromised tooth—restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns are permanently cemented in place and become the new outer surface of the tooth, protecting it from further damage.

What to Know Before You Go

💡

Pro Tip:

Many Turkish dental clinics offer package deals for multiple crowns, including airport transfers, hotel accommodation, and panoramic X-rays. Get a complete quote before traveling.

⚠️

Insider Note:

Request to see the brand certificates for the materials used. Premium clinics use materials from manufacturers like Ivoclar Vivadent (E-max) or reputable zirconia brands. Avoid clinics that can't provide documentation.

"I had a fantastic experience. Coming from the US, I reached out to a few well rated clinics. Aksu was extremely responsive and quickly answered all my questions. I was a bit pressed on time and the clinic worked with my travel schedule. Dr. Haydar was excellent, honest, gave straight forward feedback and was concerned with overall dental health as well as cosmesis. My results are superb. So natural and beautiful and elegant. I’m so happy."
