Understanding the Treatment
What Are Dental Crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers the visible portion of a tooth. It may be recommended when a tooth has been significantly damaged, weakened, worn or restored and requires additional protection.
Crowns can also be used as part of cosmetic dentistry when changes to tooth shape, size, proportion or colour are planned. Because the restoration surrounds the prepared tooth, a crown can allow broader changes than treatments that cover only the front surface.
Dental crowns can be designed to blend with surrounding teeth or can form part of a wider smile makeover treatment plan.
The Treatment Process
How Does Dental Crown Treatment Work?
The exact process depends on the condition of your tooth, the number of crowns required and the restoration selected.
02
Tooth Preparation
The tooth is carefully prepared to create appropriate space for the new crown.
03
Impression & Temporary
An impression or digital record is taken and a temporary restoration may be provided while the crown is prepared.
04
Fitting & Cementation
The fit, shape, shade and bite are checked before the final crown is securely fitted.
Crown Materials
Types of Dental Crowns
The most appropriate material depends on the tooth being treated, functional requirements, appearance and your individual treatment plan.
Metal-Free Option
Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia is a strong ceramic material used for dental restorations. Its light-coloured structure can provide an aesthetic option when natural-looking tooth colour is important.
Depending on the restoration, zirconia may be used as a full-contour crown or combined with additional ceramic layers to achieve the planned appearance.
Traditional Crown
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal Crowns
Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns combine an internal metal framework with an external tooth-coloured porcelain layer.
They have traditionally been used where strength is important, including selected posterior teeth and restorative situations. Your dentist can discuss whether this material is appropriate for your case.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental Crown FAQs
Common questions patients ask when considering dental crowns in Marmaris.
What are dental crowns?
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that covers
the visible portion of a prepared tooth. It may be used
to restore a damaged, cracked, weakened or heavily
restored tooth and can also be used for selected
cosmetic treatments.
When are dental crowns used?
Crowns may be considered for broken, heavily damaged,
worn, weakened or significantly restored teeth. They
may also be used as part of dental bridges, over dental
implants or when substantial changes to tooth shape are
required.
How do dental crowns work?
A crown fits over the prepared portion of a tooth,
replacing its outer visible structure. Once fitted, it
becomes the new external surface of the restored tooth
and helps protect the underlying tooth structure.
How are dental crowns fitted?
The tooth is normally prepared under local anaesthetic,
an impression or digital scan is taken and the crown is
manufactured to the planned shape and shade. A temporary
restoration may be used before the final crown is fitted
and the bite is checked.
Can crowns improve damaged or worn teeth?
Crowns may restore the external shape of damaged or worn
teeth while helping protect the remaining underlying
tooth structure. Suitability depends on the individual
tooth and must be assessed by a dentist.
Can a dental crown be placed over an implant?
Yes. A dental crown can form the visible restoration
attached to an implant system to replace a missing
tooth.
Can dental crowns be used if I have a missing tooth?
A crown cannot replace a missing tooth by itself, but
crowns may form part of a dental bridge or may be placed
on top of a dental implant. The appropriate option
depends on your individual situation.
What crown shades are available?
Dental restorations can be produced in a range of tooth
shades. The selected shade can be planned to blend with
surrounding teeth or to suit a wider cosmetic smile
design.
How long should I stay in Marmaris for dental crowns?
The existing treatment information recommends that many
patients allow around seven days, with several dental
appointments during the visit. The exact schedule can
vary according to the number of crowns, restoration
material and individual treatment requirements.
Will dental crown treatment hurt?
Local anaesthetic is commonly used when teeth are being
prepared for crowns. Some temporary sensitivity or
discomfort may occur, and your dentist can explain what
to expect for your individual treatment.
How long can dental crowns last?
Longevity varies between patients and depends on crown
material, oral hygiene, bite, tooth condition and daily
habits. Regular dental care can help maintain crowns
over the long term.
What happens during my dental crown appointments?
Treatment commonly includes consultation and
assessment, tooth preparation and records, a temporary
restoration where required, trial or fitting checks and
the final placement of the completed crowns.
Dental crown suitability, materials, preparation requirements,
treatment duration and expected longevity vary between
patients. A clinical examination is required before an
individual treatment plan can be confirmed.
