Dental Crowns in Turkey: Cost, Procedure & Patient Reviews
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged, weak, root-treated or heavily filled tooth to restore its strength, shape and appearance. In Turkey, UK and Irish patients have zirconia, E-max and porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns fitted for around 50-70% less than typical UK private prices, usually over a single 4-6 day trip to Antalya.
Types of dental crown and which is right for you
A dental crown fully encases a tooth above the gum line, unlike a veneer which only covers the front surface. Amazing Smile Turkey fits three main types: zirconia crowns, which are extremely strong, metal-free and ideal for back teeth and full-arch work; E-max (lithium-disilicate) crowns, which offer the most natural translucency and are favoured for front teeth; and porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns, a long-established, lower-cost option with a metal core. Zirconia and E-max are the most popular choices for UK and Irish patients because they are metal-free, biocompatible and colour-matched to natural teeth. The best material depends on which tooth is being restored, your bite and whether strength or appearance is the priority.
How much do dental crowns cost in Turkey vs the UK?
A single crown in the UK or Ireland typically costs 400 to 1,000 pounds privately depending on the material, so restoring several teeth quickly runs into thousands of pounds. In Antalya the same zirconia, E-max or porcelain crowns are fitted for roughly 50-70% less, with a written quote issued free after a remote consultation. The saving reflects lower clinic overheads, an in-house ceramist lab and the high volume of international patients, not cheaper materials. Crowns are made from the same global ceramic systems used in UK practices, and the exact material and price are confirmed in your treatment plan before you travel.
Most crown cases are completed in a single 4-6 day trip. At the first appointment the dentist assesses the tooth, removes any decay or old filling, shapes the tooth and takes a digital scan or impression. A temporary crown protects the tooth while your permanent crown is made in the in-house lab, usually within a few days. You then return for fitting, bite adjustment and bonding before flying home. If a tooth needs root canal treatment or a post first, that is carried out during the same trip and included in your plan, along with airport transfers and hotel accommodation.

How long crowns last and your guarantee
A well-fitted zirconia or E-max crown lasts 10-15 years or more, and often longer with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups. The crown itself does not decay, but the natural tooth and gum margin beneath it still need daily brushing, flossing and professional cleaning. We advise avoiding biting very hard objects and wearing a night guard if you grind your teeth. Every crown fitted at Amazing Smile Turkey comes with a written guarantee for a defined cover period, and lifetime WhatsApp and email support continues once you are back in the UK or Ireland.

How much do dental crowns cost in Turkey?
Dental crowns in Turkey typically cost 50-70% less than UK private prices. A crown costing 400 to 1,000 pounds in the UK is a fraction of that in Antalya, and your exact quote is issued free after a remote consultation.
Zirconia vs E-max crown — which is better?
Zirconia crowns are stronger and best for back teeth and full-arch restorations, while E-max crowns offer the most natural translucency and are ideal for front teeth. Both are metal-free and last 10-15+ years.
How long do dental crowns last?
Zirconia and E-max crowns last 10-15 years or more with good care. The crown does not decay, but the tooth beneath it still needs daily cleaning and regular check-ups to protect the margin.
What is the difference between a crown and a veneer?
A crown covers the entire tooth to restore strength after damage or root canal, while a veneer only covers the front surface for cosmetic change. Crowns are used mainly for function, veneers mainly for appearance.
How many trips do I need for crowns?
Most crown treatments are completed in a single 4-6 day trip to Antalya, including preparation, lab work and fitting. Larger cases or those needing root canal are still usually finished in one visit.
Does getting a crown hurt?
Crown preparation is carried out under local anaesthetic, so the procedure is painless. Mild sensitivity for a few days afterwards is normal and managed with standard pain relief.
Will my crown match my other teeth?
Yes — zirconia and E-max crowns are shade-matched and layered to blend with your natural teeth. Digital design and an in-house lab allow precise colour and shape before fitting.
Can I eat normally with a crown?
Yes — once bonded, a crown restores full chewing function and you can eat normally. We advise avoiding biting extremely hard objects to protect both crowns and natural teeth.
What is included in the UK patient package?
The package includes your crowns, scans, anaesthesia, consultations, temporary crowns, airport transfers and hotel accommodation. Lifetime WhatsApp and email support continues after you return home.
