Zirconium crowns are strong, metal-free crowns designed to restore damaged teeth and improve smile appearance with a natural look. Patients typically choose zirconium when they want durability, a clean gumline, and a bright, consistent smile result.
At MedMedicals in Istanbul, crown planning starts with tooth health first. If a tooth needs a root canal or gum treatment, we address that before final crowns. You can ask freely about any combination, even if not listed as a standard option, we will confirm what is medically appropriate for your case.
Zirconium crowns can:
Restore teeth that are heavily filled, worn, cracked, or discoloured
Improve smile symmetry and shade consistency
Provide a strong chewing surface for back teeth
Avoid metal margins, which some patients dislike aesthetically
Zirconium crowns do not:
Fix active gum disease without treating gums first
Replace the need for correct bite alignment if your bite is causing damage
Work well on a tooth that is not structurally stable (some teeth need a different plan first)
If you have pain, infection, or gum bleeding, diagnosis comes before cosmetic decisions.
Zirconium crown (per tooth): €160
Important note
Crowns are priced per tooth. The final plan depends on how many teeth need treatment, whether any teeth require root canal therapy first, and whether bite adjustments are needed.
Treatment planning for the crown procedure
Tooth preparation and impressions or digital scan (as used in your clinic)
Crown fabrication and fitting as per the confirmed plan
Bite checks and final adjustments
Written aftercare guidance
Flights
Hotel accommodation
Transfers and local transport
Extra nights outside the medical plan
Additional treatments not listed in your confirmed plan
Hotels and transfers are not included. If you want, we can arrange hotel options and private transfers based on your preferences and dates, quoted separately.
Tell us what you want to improve and how many teeth you are considering. We will confirm whether zirconium crowns are suitable, and outline a realistic plan and timeline.
To speed up your evaluation, include:
Which teeth you want treated (front, back, or both)
Your main goal (appearance, strength, replacing old crowns, pain issues)
Any recent X-ray, panoramic, or dentist notes (if available)
Your travel window and preferred dates
Purpose: restore and protect teeth, improve smile aesthetics
Material: zirconium based ceramic, metal-free
Visits: typically staged across several appointments
Comfort: some sensitivity during early days is normal
Timeline in Istanbul: commonly a short stay, plan dependent
Longevity: depends on bite, hygiene, and maintenance
You may be a good candidate if:
You have damaged, heavily filled, or worn teeth
You want stronger crowns for chewing teeth
You want a consistent smile shade across multiple teeth
You have old crowns that need replacement
Your gums are healthy, or you are willing to treat gum issues first
Crowns may not be the first step if:
You have active infection or severe tooth pain (diagnosis first)
You have untreated gum disease or significant recession
You have bite problems, grinding, or clenching that is damaging teeth (bite plan first)
A tooth is too weak to support a crown without additional treatment
Many patients compare zirconium with porcelain based alternatives. The right material depends on tooth position, bite forces, and aesthetic goals.
Strong and durable, often preferred for back teeth
Metal-free, clean gumline aesthetic
Good option when you want strength with natural appearance
Can be highly aesthetic for front teeth depending on the case
Material choice depends on bite, shade goals, and tooth preparation
Your dentist confirms what is best for your specific smile plan
If you want a cosmetic makeover, the correct plan should consider smile design, gumline, and bite, not only crown material.
A typical crown plan follows a structured sequence:
We check tooth health, gums, and bite. If a tooth needs root canal therapy or gum treatment, that is handled first.
The tooth is prepared and impressions or digital scans are taken. Temporary crowns may be placed when needed.
Crowns are tried in, checked for bite and fit, then adjusted as needed.
Crowns are placed and you receive instructions for eating, cleaning, and follow up.
Crowns last longer when:
You maintain daily hygiene and regular cleaning
You avoid chewing very hard items on new crowns early on
Your bite is stable and not overloaded
You use a night guard if you grind or clench (if recommended)
Temporary sensitivity can happen after preparation and usually settles. If pain increases rather than improves, contact the clinic.
Dental crowns are common and predictable, but risks can include:
Temporary sensitivity after preparation
Bite discomfort if adjustment is needed
Chipping or fracture in heavy clenching cases
Gum irritation if hygiene is poor
Need for root canal treatment in some teeth (case dependent)
The best way to avoid failures is correct diagnosis and bite planning, not rushing into cosmetic work.
Many zirconium crown patients travel to Istanbul from abroad. The key is scheduling appointments in the right sequence.

Yes. Crowns are priced per tooth, and your total depends on how many teeth are treated and whether any pre-treatment is needed.
Only if the tooth nerve is infected or damaged. This is confirmed by symptoms and imaging.
It depends on hygiene, bite forces, and habits like grinding. A stable bite and good maintenance improve longevity.
The goal is a natural look, but shade and shape must match your face and smile. Planning matters more than chasing an artificially white shade.
