Zirconium & Porcelain Crowns in İzmir
Custom crowns in metal porcelain or zirconium to restore damaged teeth.
Overview
Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their shape, size, strength, and appearance. At Atlas Dental Clinic in İzmir, we offer premium quality crowns made from zirconium, porcelain, or metal-porcelain combinations. Our skilled ceramists and dentists work together to create crowns that perfectly match your natural teeth in color and translucency, providing both aesthetic excellence and functional durability.

Is This Treatment Right for You?
Who is usually suitable
- Teeth weakened by large fillings, cracks or extensive decay
- Teeth that have had root canal treatment
- Restoring a single implant, or as an anchor within a bridge
Who may not be suitable
- Teeth without enough remaining structure to retain a crown
- Active infection at the root, which needs treating first
- Advanced gum disease affecting the supporting bone
These points do not automatically rule out treatment. Many can be managed or treated first — your dentist will assess this at your examination.
Possible risks and complications
- Sensitivity to hot and cold after preparation
- The nerve may become inflamed, occasionally requiring root canal treatment later
- The crown may loosen, chip or fracture over time
- Decay can still develop at the crown margin if hygiene is poor
Every dental procedure carries some risk. These are discussed with you before treatment begins, along with how they apply to your case.
Alternative treatments
- Inlay or onlay
A more conservative option when enough healthy tooth remains.
- Composite filling
For smaller areas of damage.
- Dental veneers
Where the concern is appearance rather than strength.
Planning your trip to Turkey
- Number of visits
- Usually one visit.
- Recommended stay in İzmir
- Around 5-7 days between preparation and final cementation.
- Flying after treatment
- No restriction on flying after crown treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of crown is best?
Zirconium crowns offer the best combination of strength and aesthetics for most patients. We'll recommend the ideal material based on the tooth location and your specific needs.
Are dental crowns painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so there's no pain during treatment. Mild sensitivity after placement is normal and temporary.
How long do dental crowns last?
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, crowns typically last 10-15 years or longer. Zirconium crowns are particularly durable.
Will my crown look natural?
Yes! Our ceramists expertly match the color, shape, and translucency to your natural teeth for seamless integration.
