- Dental Crowns in Antalya, TurkeyA crown is a cap that covers the whole visible part of a tooth when it is broken, heavily filled, root-treated or badly worn. Zirconia and E.max (lithium disilicate) crowns contain no metal and look like natural teeth; zirconia is usually chosen for back teeth and bridges, E.max for front teeth. At Papatya Dental Clinic in Konyaaltı, Antalya, crowns are designed digitally and made in the clinic's own laboratory, and treatment usually takes 3–5 days. A crown removes far more tooth than a veneer, so it is planned only where a tooth needs one.
- E.max Crown (Lithium Disilicate Glass-Ceramic Crown)A lithium disilicate crown, widely known by the trade name E.max, is a metal-free glass-ceramic cap. Because it lets light through much like natural enamel, it gives a natural look, especially on teeth that show when you smile. It can be used on front teeth, premolars and some molars. The crown becomes stronger once it is bonded to the tooth with a special technique. Which teeth it suits is decided at the examination, looking at the colour of the tooth, how much of it is left and the forces of your bite.
- Feldspathic Porcelain Crown (Classic All-Porcelain Crown)A feldspathic porcelain crown is made from feldspathic porcelain, the classic ceramic with a long history in dentistry, and has no metal or zirconia core inside. With its high glass content, it lets light through very much like natural enamel and can give a very natural look on front teeth. On the other hand, it is more fragile than other ceramics. Its strength therefore depends largely on being bonded firmly to the tooth with resin, and it is mostly considered for front teeth where bite forces are low. Which teeth it suits is decided at the examination.
- Full Metal Crown (Gold or Metal Alloy Crown)A full metal crown is a cap with no porcelain layer, cast entirely from a gold alloy or another dental alloy. Because it is not tooth-coloured, it is chosen for back molars that do not show when you smile. Metal stays strong even in a thin layer, so less of the tooth has to be removed than for other types of crown. Clinical records show these crowns can stay in place for many years. Whether this crown suits your tooth is decided at the examination, looking at the tooth, your bite and what you expect from its appearance.
- How Long Do Crowns Last?Most dental crowns last more than ten years, and many last much longer. In one specialist practice that followed 2,340 metal-ceramic crowns for up to 25 years, an estimated 97% of crowns on teeth with a good outlook were still in place at ten years and 85% at 25 years. Zirconia and E-max crowns have a shorter record, but over five years they do as well as metal-ceramic crowns. How long yours lasts depends as much on the tooth underneath as on the crown: whether it has had root canal treatment, how much of it is left, how well the edge is kept clean and whether you grind. At Papatya Dental Clinic in Konyaaltı, Antalya, the root, the gums and the bite are checked before a crown is recommended.
- Hybrid Ceramic Crown (CAD/CAM Composite Crown)A hybrid ceramic crown is milled by computer from blocks that combine ceramic particles, or a ceramic network, with resin. It is tooth-coloured and slightly more flexible than all-ceramic crowns. Because milling is quick, it can be made on the same day in suitable cases. Its advantages include being repairable in the mouth with composite and causing less wear on the opposing tooth. On the other hand, it may not keep its gloss and colour over time as well as ceramic. Which teeth it suits is decided at the examination.
- Layered Zirconia Crown (Porcelain-Veneered Zirconia Crown)A layered zirconia crown has two parts: a strong zirconia core inside and, on the outside, porcelain that a dental technician builds up and fires layer by layer. The zirconia carries the strength of the crown, while the porcelain gives the colour gradients and translucency of a natural tooth. As it contains no metal, there is no grey shadow at the gum line. Its main limit is that small chips can appear in the outer porcelain layer over time. Which teeth it suits is decided at the examination, looking at where the tooth is, the forces of your bite and what you expect from its appearance.
- Maryland BridgeAt Papatya Dental, we create a personalized plan for a Maryland Bridge to support the appearance of a missing tooth and the overall harmony of your smile, and we are with you throughout the process.
- Monolithic Zirconia Crown (Solid Zirconia Crown)A monolithic zirconia crown is milled by computer from a single block of zirconia, with no porcelain layer added on top. Although it is tooth-coloured, its strength comes close to that of metal crowns. That is why it is often considered for molars, bridges and people who grind their teeth. With no porcelain layer, there is no porcelain to chip off. Which teeth it suits, and which type of zirconia is chosen, is decided at the examination, looking at where the tooth is and what you expect from its appearance.
- PEEK Crown (Metal-Free Crown with a Polyetheretherketone Framework)PEEK, or polyetheretherketone, is a high-performance polymer used in medicine and dentistry. It is light, contains no metal and has a flexibility close to that of bone. It is tooth-coloured but not translucent, so it is usually used not on its own but as a framework covered with composite or ceramic. It is one of the options considered for people with a metal allergy and for restorations on implants. Its clinical data are more limited than for other crown materials. Whether it suits your situation is decided at the examination.
