Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do zirconium crowns compare to traditional metal or PFM crowns?
Zirconium (zirconia) crowns are metal-free, highly biocompatible, and deliver a natural white appearance that metal and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns cannot match. Metal crowns can cause dark gum lines over time as the metal shows through, while zirconia integrates beautifully with surrounding teeth. Taki Dent uses monolithic zirconia and layered zirconia depending on the tooth position and aesthetic requirements. Zirconia is also stronger than PFM, making it suitable for both front and back teeth.
Q: How long do zirconium crowns last?
Zirconia crowns placed at Taki Dent Antalya are designed to last 15–25 years or more with proper care. Zirconia is one of the hardest dental materials available and is highly resistant to chipping and fracture. Regular dental check-ups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding grinding without a night guard all contribute to maximum longevity. Taki Dent provides a dental guarantee on all crowns for additional peace of mind.
Q: What does the zirconium crown procedure involve?
The procedure begins with tooth preparation — the dentist shapes the tooth to create space for the crown — followed by digital impressions taken with our intraoral scanner. A temporary crown protects the prepared tooth while our in-house CAD/CAM lab fabricates your permanent zirconia crown with precision. The permanent crown is bonded at the final appointment, typically within the same week for international patients visiting Antalya. The entire process is painless under local anaesthesia.
Q: How much do zirconium crowns cost at Taki Dent?
Zirconium crowns at Taki Dent Antalya cost significantly less than in Western Europe — typically 60–70% savings compared to UK or German prices. The cost per crown depends on the material grade (standard or high-translucency zirconia) and the complexity of the case. We offer competitive full-mouth crown packages for patients requiring multiple restorations. All prices are provided in writing before treatment begins, with no hidden fees.
Q: Will my zirconium crown look natural?
Zirconia crowns at Taki Dent are custom shaded and shaped to blend seamlessly with your surrounding natural teeth. High-translucency zirconia mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural enamel, making it virtually undetectable. Our certified dental technicians hand-characterise each crown in our in-house lab to achieve the most lifelike result. Patients frequently report that friends and family cannot tell the difference between their crown and a natural tooth.
