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.

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
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! 💯
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
So much care took in my opinion the best dentist I have ever been to ! And would quite happily come back for check ups. Lovely hotel and met so many nice people.
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.
