Zirconium Crown in Turkey: Cost, Procedure & Patient Reviews
Zirconium crowns are the modern metal-free workhorse of restorative dentistry. They combine the strength of a crown you can chew on hard food with for a decade or more, with an aesthetic that is indistinguishable from a natural tooth under normal lighting. For UK and Irish patients travelling to Antalya, zirconium is the most frequently chosen crown material for visible teeth.
What makes zirconium different from traditional crowns
Older porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns relied on a metal core covered in ceramic. They were strong, but a dark line could appear at the gum margin as gums receded over time, and the opacity of the underlying metal reduced translucency. Zirconium is a dense crystalline ceramic that is metal-free, biocompatible and almost as strong as the enamel it replaces. Modern multilayer zirconium lets light pass through the crown the way natural enamel does, so the finished tooth looks alive rather than blocked-in. There is no metal line and no metal allergy risk.
Zirconium Crown Before & After in Turkey
Where zirconium crowns are the right choice
Zirconium is the go-to material for heavily restored back teeth that need strength for chewing, front teeth where aesthetics matter, and full-arch bridge work where long-span strength is critical. It is the material we use for All-on-6 and full-mouth bridge solutions, and it is our default recommendation for UK patients who want a crown they do not have to think about again for a long time.
How treatment works in Antalya
Zirconium crown cases for UK and Irish patients are usually completed in a single 5–7 day trip. Day one is arrival and hotel transfer. Day two is examination, digital scan, shade matching and preparation of the teeth receiving crowns. Days three to five are laboratory fabrication by our in-house ceramist with temporary crowns in place. Day six is final fit and bite adjustment. Day seven is a polish and photography appointment before your airport transfer. Multi-unit bridge work follows the same timeline. Combined zirconium and implant cases follow the two-trip implant protocol.
Zirconium Crown Patient Reviews from the UK & Ireland
I recently underwent dental procedures at Amazing Smile in Antalya, Turkey, which included the replacement of three missing teeth, several white fillings, and a root canal.To date, the root canal and implant procedures have been successfully completed, and I am highly satisfied with the results, especially with the root canal done by Beyza who was gently, very patient and didn't let me feel any after pain.Upon my arrival, I was greeted by Batu, who provided exceptional assistance, demonstrating a pleasant demeanor and excellent communication skills. I also had the pleasure of meeting Aleena, who exhibited similar professionalism and a genuine effort to correctly pronounce my name. Kadir, our driver, provided seamless transportation from the airport to the hotel and to the clinic. Despite his limited English proficiency, Kadir was consistently helpful and pleasant.Overall, my experience was outstanding. I encourage others to consider this destination to experience the comprehensive services, from accommodation to leisure activities.
My experience was grate, the dentist she was gentle and understanding. I would recommend anyone that need a beautiful smile should come to amazing smile

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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
Had zirconium crowns fitted. Really happy with the results. The team at AST are brilliant from the shuttle driver to the dentists & owners.

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
All the staff are amazing and help in anyway they can I would recommend AMAZING SMILE TURKEY to everyone and family thank you so much to you all
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! 💯
Long-term care and guarantee
Zirconium crowns typically last 10–15 years and often longer with good oral hygiene. The ceramic itself does not break down or discolour. The only common cause of failure is trauma (hard biting, unguarded grinding) or recurrent decay of the underlying tooth if hygiene lapses. Every zirconium case at Amazing Smile Turkey comes with a written guarantee covering the prosthetic for its defined period, plus lifetime WhatsApp aftercare support and coordination with your UK or Irish general dentist for routine checks.
