Dental Crowns in Turkey

Strong, Pretty and Comfy: Dental Crowns in Turkey 

Teeth are like bricks on a wall. Weak spots will lead to the eventual collapse of the structure: that’s why solid foundations are crucial.

What are Dental Crowns?

A dental crown is a cap-like restoration that is custom-made to cover a damaged or decayed tooth. It is typically made of porcelain, ceramic or metal and its purpose is to restore teeth shape, size, strength, and appearance.

Do You Actually Need Dental Crowns?

Crowns are not always the best solution for aesthetic or functional purposes, and even if they are, it doesn’t mean you should get them immediately.Orthodontics might be highly recommendable beforehand, or even necessary to ensure life-lasting results.

Dental crowns might be a good option if you want to:

• Restore broken or severely worn down teeth
• Protect weakened teeth from breaking or cracking
• Cover a dental implant
• Hold a dental bridge in place

Are You Eligible for Dental Crowns in Turkey?

Not everyone is a good candidate for dental crowns. Factors such as jaw bone density, smoking, and medical history can jeopardize the success of the operation. When consulting a dental professional, it might be determined that crowns are not the right option for you.

This would only happen for the patient’s own safety. Refusal criteria may include:

• Patients taking certain medication (ex: blood thinners)
• Patients suffering from liver, pancreas or systemic diseases
• Patients smoking heavily on a daily basis
• Patients having inadequate gum tissue
• Patients lacking sufficient bone

Risks and Complications of Dental Crowns

Placing teeth crowns is not a dangerous procedure. But this doesn’t mean there aren’t risks associated with it.

Just like any other medical procedure, patients should calmly consider the following before undergoing treatment. Possible consequences may include:

• Tooth chipping
• Damaged surrounding teeth
• Dental abrasion
• Increased sensitivity
• Nerve damage

Getting dental crowns in Turkey doesn’t involve major risks, but it is a non-reversible procedure.

We suggest you ponder over this fact carefully before giving your medical consent. A thorough dental analysis will be necessary to determine whether you are suitable for the procedure, and whether it is recommendable for you.

Is It Safe To Have Dental Crowns In Turkey?

To be sure, there are good and bad professionals, just like anywhere else! Turkey is no exception to this rule.

With one aggravated aspect: the Turkish medical industry has flourished in the last years, and wherever there are great business opportunities, there’s also great scammers.

The thousands of patients flying in on a monthly basis have led to dubious companies based in Turkey to create unaccredited establishments alluring prospective customers by projecting an image of legality and professionalism online.

Rest assured, Istanbul is home to outstanding medical establishments. But you must divide the wheat from the chaff.

After a thorough investigation, you can make a calm, informed choice. Then, getting dental crowns in Turkey will be as safe as in any other quality establishment.

To stay on the safe side, we encourage you to verify first of all that your chosen medical provider is certified by the Turkish Ministry of Health.

You should not be contempt with an online banner, as it may be spurious. For maximum security, you should contact the General Directorate of the Ministry of Health and check if the company appears in its registry.
