Dental Crowns Procedure in Turkey

What is a Dental Crown

A dental crown is a custom-made cap designed to cover a damaged tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance. Crowns can be made from different materials, depending on your needs and preferences.

Materials Used for Dental Crowns:

Porcelain: Offers a natural look and is ideal for front teeth.

Ceramic: Provides a strong and aesthetic solution, often used for front and back teeth.

Metal (Gold or Alloys): Extremely durable, suitable for back teeth where strength is needed.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM): Combines the strength of metal with the aesthetics of porcelain.

When is a Dental Crown Needed?

Dental crowns are recommended when:

A tooth is too weak or worn down and needs protection.

A large cavity threatens the health of a tooth that cannot be repaired with a filling.

A cracked or fractured tooth needs restoration.

A dental bridge requires support from adjacent teeth.

A tooth has undergone root canal treatment.

A discolored or misshapen tooth needs aesthetic improvement.

Benefits of Dental Crowns

Strength and Durability: Crowns provide a strong protective layer for damaged or weakened teeth.

Natural Appearance: Modern materials allow crowns to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Functionality: Restores the full function of the tooth, allowing you to eat and speak normally.

Longevity: With proper care, dental crowns can last many years, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run.

Procedure

At TrustCare, we take a personalized approach to dental crowns, ensuring each step of the process is designed for your comfort and satisfaction.

Consultation and Diagnosis:
We begin with a thorough examination to assess your dental health and determine whether a crown is the right solution for you. X-rays may be taken to assess the extent of damage or decay.

Customized Crown Design:
Our team will take impressions of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit. You can choose from various materials like porcelain, ceramic, or metal, depending on your needs.

Tooth Preparation:
We'll prepare the tooth by removing any decayed or damaged parts, then shape it to hold the crown securely.

Placement of Temporary Crown:
While your permanent crown is being created, we’ll place a temporary crown to protect your tooth.

Permanent Crown Placement:
Once your custom crown is ready, it will be securely bonded to your tooth, restoring its strength and appearance.

Post-Treatment Care for Dental Crowns

Pain Management

Mild discomfort is normal after the procedure. Over-the-counter pain relievers can help manage any soreness.

Oral Hygiene

Continue to brush and floss daily, being careful around the crowned tooth to avoid damaging the crown or surrounding gums.

Avoid Hard Foods

For the first few days, avoid hard or sticky foods that could damage the crown or the tooth underneath.

Regular Check-Ups

Schedule regular dental check-ups to monitor the health of your crown and overall oral health.
