A dental crown, also known as a “cap” is a type of restorative dentistry in Unique Smile Turkey. There are several reasons your dentist may diagnose a dental crown. Some examples of why these are needed is due to a broken tooth, decay, large old fillings, a root canal was done, or for cosmetic reasons.
When a tooth is broken or decayed, one possible way to save that tooth is to place a protective “cap” over it. This may be needed for the following reasons:
1. There is a cavity in the tooth that extends to multiple surfaces
2. There is a tooth cusp that has broken off
3. There is a large defective dental filling that needs replacement
4. The tooth has been root canal treated and it is a back tooth
5. The tooth has vertical enamel fractures and causes pain when biting down
6. The tooth requires reshaping in order to restore esthetics or prevent food impaction
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.
There are different types of crowns. We will provide you treatment plan for the best option for your needs. Some examples of materials used for dental crowns or “caps” are gold, metal, porcelain fused to metal, full porcelain veneer or zirconia crowns. At the time your crown is chosen, your dentist will work with you to choose a shade that matches your other teeth.
All-ceramic or all-porcelain crowns provide the best natural colour and they are the top quality crowns worldwide. 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.

• Apart from super aesthetics, these crowns are valued for their metal-friendly characteristic. Patients who have metal-compatibility issues, will face no risk of an allergic reaction or sensitivity to hot or cold foods.
• The average life of a crown is around 10 years. The most important factor affecting the lifespan of any restorative treatment is oral hygiene of the patient.
