A Flawless, Natural Smile Design

It depends on the type of restoration: zirconium crowns require more enamel to be removed, while ultra-thin laminate can be applied with very minimal or zero trimming. The existing structure of your teeth and the target result determine the amount of trimming.

With proper care, zirconium crowns last 15–20 years and E-max 10–15 years. Using a special night guard for teeth grinding extends this time. Regular dental check-ups and flossing support longevity.

Local anesthesia is applied during the tooth preparation stage; no pain is felt during this time. There may be mild sensitivity with the temporary crowns; this passes within a few days. No pain is expected after the permanent crowns.

Zirconium is preferred for durability and opacity; E-max (lithium disilicate) for light transmission and a natural look; and laminate for front-surface aesthetics with minimal intervention. If the load is high on the back teeth, zirconium is recommended; if aesthetics are the priority on the front teeth, E-max or laminate.

The cost of the same quality crowns, which is £800–1,500/tooth in the UK, is offered much more affordably in Istanbul. A bulk-work advantage is also added for 10–20 teeth. Even including flights and hotel, the package still remains below a single visit to a European clinic.

Brushing twice a day with a soft brush, flossing, and mouthwash are standard. Very hard foods and chewing ice should be avoided. Professional cleaning is recommended 1–2 times a year. Staining drinks (coffee, tea, wine) don't affect the crowns, because porcelain can't be stained.

Yes, the color choice is entirely yours. A comparative selection is made with a shade guide; a preview of your smile in every tone is shown with digital simulation. Many patients prefer tones between natural and bright, such as A1–B1.
