Gumuldur, a piece of heaven on the Aegean coast of Izmir, is increasingly becoming a popular center for international patients seeking high-quality dental treatments, besides its natural beauties. Dental Crown treatment offers a permanent solution to both aesthetic and functional problems, while the calm atmosphere of Gumuldur transforms the recovery process into a relaxing holiday.
What are the dental crown prices in Gumuldur, what types of crowns are available, and how can you manage this process stress-free with Cure Holiday? Here is your comprehensive guide in over 40 headings, including the answers to all these questions.
What is a Dental Crown and What is its Purpose?
A dental crown is a custom-made “cap” or cover that completely encases a tooth that has been damaged, broken, worn down, or weakened due to large fillings. The main purpose of the crown is to strengthen the structure of the weakened tooth, restore its original form, improve chewing function, and provide an aesthetic appearance.
In Which Cases is a Dental Crown Necessary?
A dental crown is applied in cases where a tooth is broken due to a large cavity or trauma, to protect teeth that have undergone root canal treatment and become brittle, when large fillings weaken the tooth, to aesthetically correct deformities or discolorations in teeth, and when a prosthesis needs to be placed over an implant.
How Much is the Tooth Reduced for a Crown?
For crown application, the tooth is reduced or shaped by removing enough enamel tissue (usually between 1 and 2 mm) from its sides and top surface to accommodate the thickness of the crown. This procedure is critical to ensure the crown blends seamlessly with the natural gum line and does not look bulky in the mouth.
What are the Types of Dental Crowns?
Dental crowns are mainly divided into four categories: Porcelain Crowns (Metal-Supported): Has a metal alloy inner structure covered with porcelain. It is durable, but the metal substructure can create an aesthetic flaw. Zirconium-Supported Crowns: Porcelain reinforced with a zirconium inner structure. It offers high aesthetics and durability. Full Ceramic/Full Porcelain Crowns (Emax): Contains no metal. Due to its light translucency, which is closest to that of a natural tooth, it is the most preferred aesthetic option for front teeth.
What are the Advantages of Zirconium Crowns?
Zirconium crowns eliminate the aesthetic disadvantage of metal-supported porcelains, which is the grey reflection at the gum line. They have high biocompatibility, low allergy risk, and offer a very natural tooth-like appearance thanks to their light translucency. Offering high durability for both front and back teeth is a significant advantage.
Emax Crowns: Which Teeth are They Ideal For?
Emax (Lithium disilicate) crowns are ideal for front teeth where aesthetics are paramount due to their light translucency and natural appearance. Although their strength is not as high as zirconium, it is sufficient for single-tooth crowns and anterior restorations. Since they are completely metal-free, they provide excellent aesthetic results.
How Long Does Dental Crown Treatment Take?
Since modern dental clinics in Gumuldur often use CAD/CAM technology, dental crown treatment can be completed in a travel plan that lasts an average of 5 to 7 days. This period includes the stages of initial examination and tooth preparation, taking impressions, fitting the provisional (temporary crown), and finally, cementing the permanent crowns.
Is Pain or Discomfort Felt During the Crowning Procedure?
Since the shaping and preparation of the teeth are performed under local anesthesia, the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort. Mild sensitivity may rarely occur during the process of fitting temporary crowns. After the permanent crown is placed, no discomfort is expected other than the adaptation period.
How Many Sessions Does Crown Treatment Take?
Crown treatment is usually completed in 3 to 4 sessions, depending on the number of crowns selected and the laboratory process. The first session involves examination and tooth preparation, the second session is for trial fittings (substructure or biscuit trial), the third session is the final trial, and the fourth session is permanent cementation.
Why is Wearing Temporary Teeth Important After Crowning?
Temporary teeth are placed after the teeth are prepared and impressions are taken, and they preserve aesthetics and function until the permanent crowns arrive. They also prevent sensitivity of the reduced teeth to external factors and allow the gums to heal, setting the stage for the permanent crowns to seat better.
What is the Average Lifespan of Dental Crowns?
The lifespan of crowns depends on the quality of the material used, the patient’s oral hygiene, and regular doctor check-ups. High-quality Zirconium or Full Ceramic crowns can last 10 to 15 years or even longer with good care. Precautions should be taken against habits like teeth clenching and grinding to extend the life of the crown.
Can Teeth Decay Under the Crown?
When the crown is perfectly adapted to the tooth surface and a complete seal is achieved, the risk of decay under the crown is low. However, if there is a leakage between the crown and the gum, or if oral hygiene is poor, decay can occur at the crown margin. Regular brushing and flossing minimize this risk.
How Should Crowned Teeth Be Brushed and Cared For?
Crowned teeth should be brushed at least twice a day, just like natural teeth. Most importantly, attention should be paid to cleaning the area where the crown meets the gum. The use of interdental brushes and floss is essential for the care of this area. Routine dental check-ups maintain the health of the crown and the gum.
Can Crowns Cause Gum Problems?
Poor quality or ill-fitting crowns (especially metal-supported ones that press on the gum) can cause gum recession or inflammation. Modern clinics in Gumuldur minimize this risk by preferring Zirconium and Emax crowns, which have high biological compatibility and protect gum health.
The Difference Between Porcelain Veneers (Lamina) and Crowns
Lamina (Veneer) is a thin layer of porcelain applied only to the front surface of the tooth and requires less loss of tooth structure. A Crown covers all surfaces of the tooth and requires more loss of tooth structure (reduction). The Crown is used to strengthen the tooth, while the Veneer is used more for aesthetic corrections.
Do Crowns Change Color?
Crowns made from high-quality porcelain or zirconium do not change color or stain due to smoking or food/beverages. However, the natural teeth adjacent to the crown may change color over time. To maintain aesthetic integrity, a whitening procedure can be applied to natural teeth before the crown treatment.
The Role of Digital Impression and Design in Dental Crown Treatment
Leading clinics in Gumuldur use digital impressions (intraoral scanner) and computer-aided design (CAD/CAM) in crown treatment. This technology shortens the treatment period, eliminates impression errors, and guarantees the perfect fit of the crowns to the teeth, thereby increasing treatment success.
How is the Correct Color Selection Made for Crowns?
Crown color selection is critical for a natural and aesthetic result. The dentist uses a special color scale based on the patient’s skin tone, facial features, and requests to determine a shade that is compatible with the natural teeth or a brighter white tone according to the patient’s preference. Zirconium and Emax offer the widest range of color options.
Why is Gumuldur an Ideal Location for Dental Crowning?

What are the Main Factors Determining the Prices?
