What Are Dental Crowns Made Of? Dental Crown Types and Prices in Turkey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many dental issues can be treated with a dental crown. The location of the tooth<\/strong> that needs a crown should be taken into consideration when choosing the type of crown to be utilized. While dental crowns for a front tooth need to be more natural-looking, crowns that will be used for molars must prioritize strength and durability. Of course, the material used to make dental crowns also affects how much they cost. Each dental crown option has its advantages and disadvantages. Here are the types of dental crowns that are used today:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
• Metal Dental Crowns<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Composite Dental Crowns<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Porcelain Fused Metal Dental Crowns<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Porcelain Dental Crowns<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• Zirconia Dental Crowns (Zirconium)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
• E-max Dental Crowns<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

  Metal Dental Crowns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

  These types of dental crowns are the most traditional options which have been used for many years. They can be produced from a variety of metals, including platinum, gold, copper, and other metal alloys. They are incredibly strong <\/strong>and do not get damaged easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  The disadvantage of metal dental crowns comes from their appearance. The metallic look<\/strong> of these dental crowns appears unnatural. This is why metal dental crowns are mostly preferred for molars that are not visible when smiling. Because of their durability, they are a great option for molars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Composite Dental Crowns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

  Dental crowns made completely of dental composite resin<\/strong> are the cheapest<\/strong> dental crown options. Dental composite resin is a restorative material that is tooth-colored. When you laugh, smile, or converse with your friends, composite crowns will blend in nicely with the rest of your teeth. They can be installed quickly, and repaired or replaced easily when necessary. They are a great alternative for people with metal allergies as they are metal-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Composite resin dental crowns, however, are much less strong<\/strong> than other kinds of dental crowns and are more likely to chip, crack, and wear out more quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Also, composite crowns aren’t the best choice for use on the front teeth because they don’t seem as natural as porcelain crowns. They may also discolor and get stained more than crowns made of other materials because of the manner the material is created. Because of this, composite crowns are perfect for dental crowns on the back teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Porcelain Fused with Metal Dental Crowns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

  Also called porcelain-metal dental crowns<\/strong>, these types of dental crowns are the traditional option for people who are looking for crowns that are both aesthetic and strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  They are made up of two layers,<\/strong> namely, a metal base and the exterior tooth-colored porcelain layer. The metal part of the crown increases its strength, while the porcelain on the outside ensures that the crown looks natural and blends in with the rest of the natural teeth. They are also more affordable than all-porcelain metal crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  One disadvantage of porcelain fused with metal dental crowns is its appearance. Because there is a metal layer under the porcelain exterior, these dental crowns are completely opaque which can cause them to look unnatural at times. Moreover, often, a thin dark or black line at the edge of the crowns near the gum line may be visible. This is where the metal part shows through. This can be a problem if the gum line recedes over time exposing the thin metal line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Porcelain Dental Crowns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

  One of the most frequently used dental crowns, these crowns are made entirely of porcelain materials. All-porcelain dental crowns <\/strong>offer patients a natural and aesthetic restoration alternative. They are frequently used for cosmetic dental treatments because of their great appearance. They can be created in many different shades and can match the color of every natural tooth shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Porcelain dental crowns are stain-resistant so they don\u2019t<\/strong> get discolored. These dental crowns don\u2019t have the appearance problems like porcelain fused with metal dental crowns which makes them a great option for front teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  However, they are not as durable as metal or porcelain fused with metal dental crowns and can be damaged more easily. They can also wear down the teeth opposite them in the mouth a little more than metal or composite resin crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Zirconia Dental Crowns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

  Zirconia dental crowns’ popularity is rising in recent years. For dental restorative procedures, zirconia is one of the latest materials. Stronger than porcelain and some metal alloys, it is a form of ceramic, or more precisely, a zirconium oxide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Zirconia dental crowns are known to be more durable<\/strong> than those made of other materials and they can withstand wearing down. They perform better when mounted on the back teeth because of their strength and durability<\/strong> under pressure. They are ideal if you want crowns that require little upkeep and endure a very long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Traditional zirconia crowns don’t look very natural because of their opaque appearance, which is one potential drawback. To give it a more natural look, it needs to be coated in blends of various materials such as porcelain. A crown that is made of zirconia and covered in porcelain will look more natural and be easier to color-match to the rest of the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  E-max Dental Crowns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

  E-max dental crowns are the newest and most expensive<\/strong> type of crown available today, and for good reason. They are made from lithium disilicate material and they are a kind of glass-ceramic dental crowns.<\/strong> E-max dental crowns are one of the most requested treatments in Turkey and they are frequently<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  E-max dental crowns are also a great option for dental crowns thanks to their great appearance. They are incredibly popular in cosmetic dental treatments since they have the most natural appearance among all dental crown types. These types of dental crowns are especially known for their translucent quality.<\/strong> Because they have translucency, E-max dental crowns react extremely well with light which guarantees their natural-looking aesthetic.<\/strong> There are also more color shade varieties for E-max dental crowns which makes color-matching with the rest of the smile easier and more accurate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  They are not as durable as zirconia dental crowns. Since they are not as good at handling pressure, E-max dental crowns can be chipped or damaged in less time when they are used for molars. However, they are great for front teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Note: <\/em>It is important to state that while dental crowns differ up to a degree in how natural they look; porcelain, zirconia, and E-max dental crown are all great options <\/strong>for cosmetic dental treatment. You will be able to decide which one is the most suitable option for you with the help and guidance of your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  How Long Do Dental Crowns Last? What Is the Average Lifespan of a Dental Crown?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  The longevity of dental crowns typically depends on the material choice, the location of the dental crown in the mouth, and how well the crowns are maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Generally, composite dental crowns have the shortest lifespan which is around 5 years<\/strong>. Other types of dental crowns are thought to last for 10-15 years on average <\/strong>with proper oral hygiene. After this time, dental crowns will need to be replaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the keys to long-lasting dental crown treatments. In some cases, it has been observed that dental crowns lasted up to 30 years or even a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  How Long Does it Take to Get Dental Crowns?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

  <\/figure>\n\n\n\n

  The duration of the procedure depends on several factors such as the dental crown type, the number of dental crowns you will be getting, the necessity of additional dental treatments, and the availability and location of the dental laboratory where the crowns will be prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  Depending on these factors, a typical dental crown treatment can take anywhere between a single day to a week. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  In Turkey, many dental clinics have incorporated CAD\/CAM technologies<\/strong> into their treatments. CAD\/CAM (computer-aided-design and computer-aided-manufacturing) technologies are used for all types of dental treatments and they digitalize the whole process of making dental prosthetics such as dental crowns, bridges, veneers, or dentures. With these technologies, it is possible to prepare highly accurate dental crowns very quickly. If the dental clinic works with a dental lab or has its own dental lab that uses CAD\/CAM technologies, the process can move a lot faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
