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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% Recommend – An Absolute 5-Star Experience!
If you are thinking about getting your teeth done, look no further than Amazing Smile Turkey Antalya. My entire experience with them was flawless from start to finish.
The logistics were incredibly smooth. I was greeted right at the airport and transferred to a stunning hotel right near the beach in Antalya. The itinerary was fast, efficient, and professionally handled:
Monday: Landed and settled into the gorgeous hotel.
Tuesday: Had my initial X-rays taken.
Wednesday: The big day. I had all teeth removed, a bone graft, a sinus lift, and a full All-on-6 (top and bottom) procedure.
Thursday: Had my temporary teeth fitted.
Friday: Flew back home!
To undergo that much dental work—including extractions, a bone graft, and a sinus lift—and come out with no bruising and very little pain is a testament to the incredible skill of the team.
I have nothing but praise for Onur and Batu. These guys were absolutely amazing throughout the whole experience. They made me feel comfortable, kept me informed, and honestly could not have been more helpful.
An amazing clinic, a beautiful location, and a top-tier team. It is definitely worth the visit. 100% recommended!
Very professional from initial consultation then to first procedure
And the final results are great for my confidence and feeling
Thanks to an amazing team
Especially Onur,Tugce,Batu

I would personally like to not only thank the dentist and surgeons, but also onur and Jon, the translator batu and the receptionist each person made my experience what it was. The care and treatment was next level for me. From start to finish I was more than looked after 24 hours I was able to contact any of these with questions even down to translating information in the pharmacy when my partner needed medication whilst we was over here. I really have made friends for life treated like family which I loved thabk you so much AMAZING SMILE you have made me happy when I look in the mirror for
the first time in over 20 years
My journey started with a meeting with Oj and Can in Belfast. Everything was organized incredibly smoothly! ✨
Upon arriving in Turkey, driver Kadir greeted me with a big smile and great warmth. He drove me from the hotel to the clinic and back every time – always on time, smiling and friendly 😊
At the clinic, I received a warm welcome from Can and Oj. I also met Batu, who always welcomed me and saw me off – a very friendly guy! I got to know the entire team and I can honestly say that I was treated like a friend, or even like a family member ❤️
A huge thank you to my wonderful dentist Gamze and nurse Humeyra! 🙏
Gamze is an outstanding specialist in her field. She works until she achieves perfection – and that perfection is my new smile! 😁✨
Big respect to the clinic owner for putting together such an amazing and warm team.
I highly recommend Amazing Smile Turkey to anyone who needs a new smile or even the smallest dental treatment! 💯
Amazing service from day 1. Very caring and great communication throughout. Onur is there 24/7 to help with any problems at all and always explains in good detail. Best service in Antalya and amazing results. Would highly recommend 5*+
Initially, My wife and I had a meeting in Leeds. We found Onur and the team very friendly and knowledgeable. She was advised that 'all on 6 was the best option for top and crowns to match for bottom. Everything was explained and the price was affordable(20k cheaper than uk) so we arranged our first visit.
On arrival, we were picked up at airport and taken to our hotel. We were given pick up times and were always picked up on time.
Treatment started the following day, impressions were taken and some teeth extracted. Bone grafting and sinus lift were necessary. This process was pain free thanks to injections, pain killers were prescribed for her comfort over the next few days.
We returned for implants and crowns to be fixed. Time was taken to reassure her throughout the whole process and the whole team were very friendly and approachable the whole time.
Onur was available and willing to talk and explain everything during the whole process.
The price given at initial meeting in Leeds didn't change, which I know isn't the case at some of the other dentists in Turkey.
She now does have an amazing, natural looking smile and is enjoying eating things she hasn't been able to for some time.
We were left feeling like friends rather than clients.
Would 100% recommend Amazing Smile Turkey.
From start to finish the service was second to none really professional company looked after us really well more than happy with my new teeth we had the pleasure of having Onur as our representative he treated us like family brought us every where we needed to go the doctors were top class service would highly recommend🦷🇹🇷
Onur very helpful, the service was very professional
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.
