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.

Great support from arrival to departure
From landing in Antalya to heading home, the care, organisation, and support made the whole journey feel straightforward and comfortable.
I had an amazing experience with them. Jan went above and beyond, he made sure he answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable with the procedure and explained me everything thoroughly. The team were generally very welcoming and took care of me when I was in Antalya. Kadir was very polite and provides the service very well with picking up and drop off to airport ✈️. Jan for the majority and this time Aleena made sure everything went well during my treatment. I am thankful to the team and most importantly my dentist Dr Gamze she was a lovely lady! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE, I had a smooth treatment 💚
I would recommend amazing smile Turkey to anyone. You will not be disappointed. Aleena was amazing from first contact to the end and even on my return home she is there every step of the way with you. All the staff are brilliant they really make you feel very welcome. I have still to return for the second part of my journey but I have no doubts that I won't be disappointed.

I felt fully informed at every stage of my treatment and never felt rushed or pressured.The quality of the work is outstanding, and I am absolutely delighted with my new smile. The attention to detail and commitment to achieving the best possible result were evident throughout my treatment journey.

Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for their patients really set them apart.Thank you to the whole team at Amazon Smile Turkey for changing my smile and my confidence. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering dental treatment abroad.
I’m very happy with the dental work I received. The dentist was professional, friendly, and everyone took the time to explain everything clearly throughout the treatment answering all questions asked. I felt well looked after and was really pleased with the quality of the work and the final result.I attended clinic Monday morning and had the perfect smile by Tuesday evening. This was completed so quickly to ensure I could continue on to my family holiday without major disruption to it as getting my teeth done in Antalya was a super last minute decision but the clinic ensured me it was possible and kept to their promise.The whole experience was smooth and reassuring. I was especially looked after by the loveliest girl named Aleena who looked after me throughout the whole process including when I returned home to ensure everything was and still is okay with the work completed. No matter what time of day or night Aleena responds promptly making sure any question asked is answered in every detail needed. I travelled alone during my dental treatment so having such a kind hearted and caring person at my side throughout gave me so much comfort and made the experience a whole lot easier for me.I would happily recommend this dentist to anyone looking for professional and caring dental treatment.Thank you Amazing Smiles for giving me the smile I have wanted for such a long time x
When I arrived l met with Mr Can. He explained the whole process to me . He made me feel at ease, and was very professional. Then l was introduced to Aleena. She was my coordinator, she was with me all the way. Made all appointments and kept me informed and kept checking in to make sure l was ok between procedures. She is a precious lady.
My Dentist Miss Gamze is a very nice lady. An excellent dentist, very gentle showed her skill and attention to detail.
Nadir was my driver, he collected me at the airport took me to and from appointments, very relaxed, night or day no problem. He is a true gentleman.
Amazing Smile extremely competent and truly professional. 😁
This is just to share my thoughts on Amazing Smile Turkey.
The service i received from every staff member was excellent. From the moment we got picked up at airport by KADRI,from ALEENA looking after us in the clinic and enquiring during and after treatment and organising it all was fantastic..
Now as a 60 year old guy who has been scared of dentist all his life the way TUGCE the dentist looked after me every visit was out of this world..already friends that have seen pictures of my teeth are asking for details ofAST..
can not praise them and thank them enough ..
Would recommend them in a heart beat.
THANKS
I had such a positive experience having my teeth done and I’m really happy with the results. From the very beginning, I was made to feel comfortable and very well looked after throughout the whole process.I initially had my temporary teeth fitted, which allowed me to go home before returning for my permanent teeth. Everything was explained clearly and I felt reassured and cared for at every stage.A special thank you to Tuğçe, my dentist, for her knowledge, experience and professionalism. I’m extremely happy with the quality and finish of my teeth. I’d also like to thank Aleena and Can for being so helpful and making the whole experience so positive.Even the staff who weren’t directly involved in my treatment were always so welcoming. Everyone greeted you with a smile and made you feel genuinely welcome, which really added to the whole experience.I also want to give a special mention to the driver, who was fantastic. So organised, reliable and friendly, which made getting to and from appointments and the airport completely stress-free.The clinic itself was spotlessly clean, which was really reassuring and added to the overall professional experience.I’m genuinely so pleased with the care I received, the quality of my new teeth and the whole experience from start to finish. I would definitely recommend the team! It was everything I hoped for and more.Thank you!

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.

Crown fitting
Additional medication used during or after the procedure (painkillers, etc.)

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.
