Straumann and Nucleoss implants placed inside a full general hospital in Istanbul, with sedation options and a lifetime implant material warranty. Dental Implants in Turkey, Inside a Full Hospital A dental implant is a titanium root placed into the jawbone to carry a crown, bridge or full-arch prosthesis. At Casas Clinics, implants are placed inside Private Florya Hospital in Istanbul — a licensed general hospital with operating theatres, a resident anaesthesia team and an intensive care unit. Every implant we place carries a written five-year guarantee. WHY DOES IT MATTER WHERE YOU HAVE YOUR IMPLANTS PLACED? For a straightforward single implant in a healthy patient, it may not matter much. For everything else, it decides what can be done and what cannot. Implant surgery is classed in UK guidance as a procedure with a high risk of post-operative bleeding — the same category as a complex extraction. Add a heart condition, a blood thinner or poorly controlled diabetes, and the question is no longer "who is the dentist" but "what is standing behind the dentist". Our dental centre is a registered medical unit of Private Florya Hospital. Cardiology, internal medicine, anaesthesiology, general surgery, radiology and a laboratory are in the same building, not on the end of a phone line. Most patients will never need any of it. Some patients cannot be treated safely without it. CAN I HAVE DENTAL IMPLANTS IF I HAVE DIABETES? In most cases, yes. Well-controlled type 2 diabetes does not reduce implant survival. A 2025 systematic review found no statistical difference in implant failure between diabetic and non-diabetic patients (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.96–1.04), with five-year survival in diabetic patients at 96.1%. What matters is the control, not the diagnosis. HbA1c at or below 7% is considered well controlled and carries no meaningful penalty in implant survival. Above 8%, the risk to the gum and bone around the implant rises — not usually enough to rule treatment out, but enough that it changes how the case is planned and how closely it is followed. Before we schedule surgery, your blood results and medication are reviewed by an internal medicine specialist in the hospital. If your control needs improving first, we will tell you that instead of booking you a flight. CAN I HAVE IMPLANTS IF I TAKE BLOOD THINNERS? Usually yes — and usually without stopping your medication. Current UK guidance (SDCEP, 2nd edition) is explicit: warfarin should not be interrupted for dental surgery where the INR is below 4, and direct oral anticoagulants are managed by timing rather than by stopping the drug. Bleeding is controlled locally, with suturing and packing. This matters because the advice patients are often given abroad is the opposite. Stopping an anticoagulant to make a dental procedure more convenient introduces a risk that has nothing to do with your teeth. We follow your own country's guidance, and your case is reviewed by a hospital physician before we begin. WHAT ABOUT A HEART CONDITION, OSTEOPOROSIS OR A HISTORY OF CANCER? Cardiac conditions and high blood pressure are not a barrier in themselves. They change the anaesthetic plan, the monitoring and sometimes the length of each session. All three are easier to manage in a hospital than in a treatment room. Osteoporosis does not significantly increase implant failure. A 2023 meta-analysis of 12 studies and 3,505 implants found no significant difference in failure (OR 1.78, 95% CI 0.86–3.70), though bone loss around the implant was slightly higher. Oral bisphosphonates taken for osteoporosis carry a very low risk of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw — 0.02% to 0.05% according to the AAOMS position paper. This is discussed with you and recorded in your consent, not glossed over. Intravenous antiresorptive therapy for cancer is different. Here, current professional guidance advises against placing implants, and we will say so. There are treatments we decline, and this is one of them. Radiotherapy to the jaws reduces implant survival — around 81.5% in irradiated bone against 94.6% in non-irradiated bone. It is not an automatic no, but it is a conversation that needs a radiotherapy record in front of us. CAN I HAVE MY IMPLANTS PLACED UNDER SEDATION OR GENERAL ANESTESIA? Yes. Sedation and general anaesthesia are given by hospital anaesthetists, in an operating theatre, with the monitoring and recovery facilities of a general hospital. This is not only for people with complex medical histories. A large number of our patients are simply afraid of the dentist — often after a bad experience years ago — and have avoided treatment for so long that a full-arch case is now the only option left. If that is you, you are not an unusual patient here. You are a typical one. WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH BONE? This is the most common reason patients are told implants are not possible, and it is usually wrong. Implants placed into grafted bone survive as well as implants placed into your own bone. A 2025 review reported 99.18% survival in augmented bone against 98.00% in native bone — a difference that was not statistically significant (p = 0.228). Where the upper jaw has lost height, a sinus lift raises the sinus floor to create room. Where the loss is severe, zygomatic implants anchor into the cheekbone instead of the jaw, with 96.1% cumulative success beyond five years across 3,627 patients. We place these ourselves; many clinics refer them elsewhere. A CBCT scan tells us which of these you need. Being told "no" somewhere else does not mean the answer is no. WHICH IMPLANTS DO YOU USE? We work with two systems, and we tell you which one is going into your jaw before you agree to anything. Straumann (Switzerland) is one of the most extensively documented implant systems in the world, with distribution across the UK, Ireland and most of Europe. If it matters to you that a dentist at home can order components for your implant without difficulty, this is the system to choose. NucleOSS (Turkey) is FDA-cleared and used across Europe and the Middle East. It performs well clinically and costs less, which is reflected in your price. There is no meaningful published evidence that any one major implant brand outperforms another clinically. What differs is the depth of documentation and how easily components can be sourced years later, wherever you happen to live. That is the honest basis on which to choose, and we will give you our recommendation for your case. HOW LONG DO DENTAL IMPLANTS LAST? The honest answer has two parts, and most clinics only give you the first one. The implant itself lasts a long time. Systematic review data puts ten-year survival at 96.4% (95% CI 95.2–97.5). When the same authors adjusted for patients lost to follow-up, the figure was 93.2% — we quote both, because the second is closer to real life. The crown or bridge on top of it does not last as long. It is a working part. Long-term studies of full-arch prostheses report roughly 80% prosthesis survival at five years and 60% at ten, with most patients experiencing at least one minor complication — a loose screw, a chip, a worn tooth — along the way. This distinction matters for your budget and for your expectations. An implant is close to permanent. The teeth attached to it will need servicing, and eventually replacing. WHAT IS PERI IMPLANTITIS, AND WILL I GET IT? Peri-implantitis is inflammation and bone loss around an implant. It is the leading cause of implants being lost years after they were placed, and it affects around one in five implant patients. We would rather you read that number here than find it later. The risk is not random. Smoking roughly doubles the odds of implant failure (OR 2.40, 95% CI 2.18–2.65). A history of gum disease, poor control of diabetes and irregular maintenance all raise it. Regular professional cleaning and review — every three to four months in the first year, then based on your own risk — brings it down. Implants do not remove the need for dental care. They change what that care involves. HOW MANY TRIPS TO TURKEY WILL I NEED, AND HOW LONG WILL THEY TAKE? For most implant cases, two trips. First trip: 4 days. Consultation, CBCT scan, any extractions, implant placement, bone graft or sinus lift if needed, and temporary teeth. Three to six months at home. This is osseointegration — the bone growing onto the implant surface. It cannot be shortened by wanting it to be. Bone remodelling around an implant is still underway at eight weeks, and international consensus defines conventional loading as beginning after two months at the earliest. Second trip: 5 to 7 days. Impressions, try-in, adjustments, and fitting of your final teeth. Some cases can be completed with immediate loading — permanent-looking teeth fitted during the first visit. Survival with this approach is high, but published results range widely, which tells you that case selection is doing the work. We offer it when your bone and your general health allow it, and we say no when they do not. Any clinic that promises a full-mouth rehabilitation finished in a single week, for anyone, is describing a sales process rather than a biological one. WHAT DO I TAKE HOME WITH ME? Three documents, and they are the point. Your written five-year guarantee. A signed, dated contract in your name. If a complication arises from treatment we performed, we carry out the revision treatment at Casas Clinics in Istanbul free of charge, for five years from the date your treatment began. Your implant record. The make, model and reference number of every implant placed, with batch details. If you ever need a dentist in the UK or Ireland to work on it, they will know exactly what is in your jaw. This is a routine request from dentists at home, and a common reason treatment abroad becomes difficult to maintain. Your treatment record and aftercare instructions. What was done, what was used, what to watch for, and who to contact. WHAT HAPPENS IF AN IMPLANT FAILS AFTER I HAVE GONE HOME? You contact us, and we deal with it. Send photographs and, if you have one, an X-ray. We will tell you what we believe has happened and what we propose to do. Where the complication is covered by your guarantee, we arrange your revision treatment in Istanbul at no charge for the dental work. We also hold complication insurance, as Turkish law requires of every licensed health tourism provider. But insurance pays within its own limits and at an insurer's discretion, which is why our own guarantee sits on top of it rather than instead of it. This section exists so that you can read it before you decide, not after. WILL A DENTIST AT HOME LOOK AFTER IMPLANTS PLACED IN TURKEY? This is one of the most common worries raised by international patients, and it deserves a straight answer rather than reassurance. Some dentists are reluctant to take on work they did not carry out. The two things that make it easier are the two things patients are most often not given: a full record of what was placed, and a clinic that answers the phone afterwards. You will have both. Your implant record identifies the system, the components and the batch. Our aftercare team remains your first point of contact, and we liaise directly with your dentist at home if they need information from us. If long-term serviceability close to home is your priority, say so at the consultation. It is a reason to choose one implant system over another, and we will plan your case accordingly. WHO WE DO NOT TREAT There are cases we turn down, and we would rather say so here than after you have booked a flight. We decline patients on intravenous antiresorptive therapy for cancer. We decline cases where the treatment being requested would mean cutting healthy teeth that do not need it. We postpone treatment where diabetes is poorly controlled until it is brought under control, and we ask smokers to stop around the surgery. A clinic that accepts everyone is not being generous. It is making a different kind of decision. HOW MUCH DO DENTAL IMPLANTS COST IN TURKEY? Every price we charge is published. The figure you are given before you travel is the figure you pay, and it is written into your treatment plan before you book a flight. Implants are not routinely available on the NHS. NHS guidance states they are "usually only available privately and are expensive", with limited exceptions such as treatment after mouth cancer or an accident.

It depends entirely on where and by whom. Turkey has excellent implant dentistry and it also has clinics that should be avoided. The questions that separate them are practical ones: is the provider licensed for health tourism, who is the surgeon, what medical backup exists if something goes wrong, and what exactly are you given in writing before you leave. Can I have dental implants in Turkey if I have diabetes? Yes, in most cases. Well-controlled diabetes does not reduce implant survival. Your HbA1c and medication are reviewed by a hospital physician before surgery is scheduled. Can I have implants if I take blood thinners? Usually yes, and usually without stopping your medication, in line with current UK guidance. Bleeding is managed locally. Can I be asleep for the procedure? Yes. Sedation and general anaesthesia are given by hospital anaesthetists in an operating theatre. Will a UK dentist treat implants that were placed in Turkey? Many will, particularly when you can tell them exactly what was placed. You are given a full implant record. If serviceability at home is a priority for you, choosing a system with UK distribution makes it simpler, and we will advise you on that before treatment. Are the implants used in Turkey different from the ones used in the UK? We use Straumann, a Swiss system distributed throughout the UK and Ireland, and NucleOSS, an FDA-cleared Turkish system. Your record shows the make, model and reference of exactly what was placed. What happens if my implant fails after I return home? You contact us with photographs and an X-ray if available. Where the complication is covered by your five-year guarantee, the revision treatment is carried out in Istanbul at no charge for the dental work. Can a lifetime guarantee on an implant be real? We do not offer one. A guarantee is only meaningful if it is written down, limited in a way that can actually be honoured, and backed by a clinic that intends to be there. Ours is five years, in a signed contract you take home. How many times do I need to visit Turkey? Usually twice — four days for surgery, then five to seven days for your final teeth, with three to six months between the visits while the bone integrates. Can a full mouth really be done in one week? Teeth can be fitted in one week in selected cases. A full-mouth rehabilitation, from extraction to final prosthesis, cannot be completed in one week for most patients, and we will tell you which category you are in before you book. What if I don't have enough bone? Bone grafting, sinus lifting or zygomatic implants solve most cases. Implants in grafted bone survive as well as implants in natural bone. How long do implants last? Around 96% of implants are still in place at ten years. The crowns and bridges attached to them have a shorter working life and will need maintenance and eventual replacement. Why are implants cheaper in Turkey than in the UK? Lower clinical overheads, lower staff and property costs, and a favourable exchange rate. The implant systems are the same ones used internationally. Will it hurt? Implant placement is carried out under local anaesthetic, sedation or general anaesthesia. Most patients describe the recovery as comparable to an extraction. How do I check whether a clinic in Turkey is legitimate? Ask for the health tourism authorisation certificate and check the name on it matches the clinic. Ask who performs the surgery and what their qualification is. Ask what is provided in writing before you leave. Ask what happens if something goes wrong — and ask for that answer in a document. See Our Prices Get Your Free Treatment Plan

Zirconia and metal-supported crowns in Istanbul with full shade selection and a night guard included. 15-year zirconia material warranty. Dental Crown in Turkey A dental crown covers a tooth that has lost too much of its own structure to be restored any other way. Preparing a tooth for a full crown removes around two thirds of its visible structure, permanently. That is why, at Casas Clinics, a crown is what we recommend when nothing less will do — not as a default, and never on a healthy tooth for the sake of whiteness. WHAT PEOPLE MEAN BY "TURKEY TEETH" — AND WHY WE DON'T DO IT The phrase describes a specific practice: healthy teeth filed down and covered with crowns, purely for appearance, usually in large numbers at once. The consequences are documented. A British Dental Association survey of 1,000 UK dentists found that 87% named crowns as the treatment most often needing correction after dental work abroad — ahead of implants. Half of those dentists reported repair bills above £1,000; one in five above £5,000. The Irish Dental Association is more specific still. Their most common finding is overtreatment — patients who needed three crowns returning with ten to twenty, sometimes bonded together so tightly that floss will not pass between them. We are a Turkish clinic. We are not going to pretend this does not happen. What we will do is tell you exactly where we stand on it, and give you the numbers so you can judge any clinic — including this one. HOW MUCH OF MY TOOTH IS REMOVED FOR A CROWN? More than most patients are told. Measured research published in the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry quantified it: preparing a tooth for a full ceramic or metal-ceramic crown removes between 63% and 75% of the tooth's visible structure. A conventional veneer preparation removes around 17%. A minimal adhesive preparation removes around 5%. PreparationTooth structure removed : Minimal adhesive restoration~5% Conventional veneer~3-30% Full crown (0.8 mm)~63% Full crown (1.0 mm)~70% Full crown (1.4 mm)~72% A more recent volumetric study made the same point differently: in a tooth that could take either, a crown removed 25–38% of the remaining tooth, while a partial onlay removed under 8%. Enamel does not grow back. This is the single most important fact about crowns, and it is why the first question in your consultation should not be "which crown" but "do I need one at all". DO I ACTUALLY NEED A CROWN? Sometimes yes. Often, something less will do the same job. Before we propose a crown, we work through the options in order of how much of your own tooth they cost you: Whitening — if the problem is only colour Composite bonding — chips, small fractures, minor shape corrections Orthodontics — if the problem is position, not structure. Straightening teeth does not require destroying them Veneer — where the front surface needs rebuilding but the tooth is otherwise sound Onlay or partial crown — where a back tooth needs cuspal protection but not full coverage Full crown — where the remaining structure cannot support anything less A crown is genuinely the right answer when: the tooth is heavily broken down or cracked; a large old restoration has failed and there is not enough sound tooth left to hold a new one; a root-treated back tooth needs its cusps protected; or the tooth is carrying a bridge. A crown is not the right answer when the only thing wrong with your teeth is their colour or a small irregularity in shape. That is the line, and it is where most of the damage in this industry happens. WHAT ABOUT A FULL SET OF CROWNS? We do carry out full-mouth rehabilitation, and for some patients it is the correct treatment. A mouth that has lost height through years of wear, a dentition with failing restorations on most teeth, severe erosion — these are cases where crowning many teeth is not cosmetic. It is reconstruction. But we make the distinction out loud, because the industry does not. We will not crown a healthy, structurally sound tooth to make it whiter or straighter. If you come to us asking for twenty crowns and your teeth do not need twenty crowns, we will tell you, show you the scan, and propose what we think you do need. Sometimes that is a far smaller and far cheaper treatment than the one you arrived asking for. One senior UK clinician, quoted in the British Dental Journal, put it plainly: crowning twenty teeth on a healthy young patient for cosmetic reasons would cost a dentist in Britain their licence. The standard should not change because the patient got on a plane. WILL A CROWN MEAN I NEED A ROOT CANAL? Sometimes. The honest numbers matter here, because this is where the arithmetic of overtreatment shows itself. The largest study of this — 88,409 crowned teeth followed over ten years — found that roughly 3.5% went on to need root canal treatment. Longer-term follow-up of vital teeth crowned for fifteen years or more reports higher figures, because the risk accumulates rather than disappearing. For one tooth that genuinely needed a crown, that is a reasonable risk against a real clinical benefit. For twenty healthy teeth crowned for appearance, the same percentage means you should expect at least one root canal that you would never otherwise have had. Nobody explains this before the drill comes out. We are explaining it now. There is a second, avoidable factor. Pulp damage is significantly more likely when temporary crowns stay on for a long time: published data puts the rate at 1.5% when temporaries are in place for two weeks or less, against 4.3% beyond that. It is one of the reasons we do not leave patients in temporaries for months. WHICH MATERIAL WILL MY CROWNS BE? Zirconium is our standard. It is strong, it carries no dark metal line at the gum, and it is what most of our patients receive. For front teeth, we often recommend E-max (lithium disilicate) instead — and the evidence supports it. In a systematic review of tooth-supported single crowns, five-year survival was 96.6% for lithium disilicate against 92.1% for zirconia. Optical measurement also shows lithium disilicate transmits light noticeably better at typical crown thickness, which is what stops a front tooth looking flat. Most clinics tell you zirconia is the best material for everything. The published comparison does not say that. We will tell you which we recommend for which tooth, and why, in writing. Where your bite is unusually heavy or you grind, we build the restoration on a metal substructure. It is invisible, it carries the load, and it is the difference between a restoration that lasts and one that keeps coming back. We do not do this routinely — it adds cost, and most patients do not need it. We will tell you which group you are in. WILL THEY LOOK TOO WHITE? Only if you ask for it, and we will tell you honestly what it will look like. A uniform, opaque, paper-white shade across every tooth is the look that made "Turkey teeth" a phrase. Natural teeth are not one flat colour: they are more translucent at the edge, slightly warmer at the neck, and they are not identical to each other. We shade-match to your face, your age and your existing teeth. You see and approve the result at the try-in stage, while you are still in Istanbul, before anything is cemented. WHAT ABOUT THE GUM LINE? This is the technical reason behind the photographs you have seen of red, swollen gums around new crowns. There is a zone of about 2 mm between the bottom of the gum pocket and the bone, occupied by soft tissue attachment. It has a name in dentistry — the biologic width — and if a crown margin is pushed down into it, the body responds with chronic inflammation, gum recession and bone loss. That response is often permanent. We finish crown margins at or above the gum line wherever the case allows, and go below it only where aesthetics genuinely require it. Margins you can clean are margins that last. The same principle applies to the shape between teeth. Crowns joined together so that floss cannot pass are easier to make and impossible to keep clean. We do not make them that way. WHAT IS A ''PEG TOOTH'' AND WILL MY TEETH LOOK LIKE THAT? "Peg teeth" is the term used for an over-aggressive preparation — a tooth cut down into a thin tapered stump, far more than the crown actually requires. It happens when preparation is rushed, or when a clinic is preparing many teeth in a single long session. It leaves less tooth to hold the crown, brings the drill closer to the nerve, and cannot be undone. Preparation depth is a controlled measurement, not a matter of style. We prepare to the minimum the material requires, and you can ask to see your own photographs at any stage. HOW LONG DO CROWNS LAST? Two honest numbers, because they differ and you should see both. In controlled clinical studies, five-year survival for modern single crowns runs between roughly 92% and 99% depending on material and position. In the real world, the largest dataset available — around 1.2 million crowns placed across England and Wales — reports 77% still in place at five years, 63% at ten, and 53% at fifteen. The gap between those two sets of figures is the difference between ideal conditions and ordinary life. Treat the real-world numbers as the ones that apply to you: roughly a third of crowns need some intervention within ten years. A crown is not a permanent solution. It is a long-term one, and it starts a maintenance relationship with that tooth for the rest of its life. CAN A CROWN BE REVERSED? No. This is the part that deserves a straight answer. Once a tooth has been prepared, the structure removed is gone. A crown can be replaced, and each replacement usually costs a little more tooth. If crowns were placed on teeth that did not need them, the teeth underneath cannot be restored to what they were. Poorly made crowns can be redone, and badly planned cases can often be substantially improved. But "reversed" is the wrong word, and any clinic that uses it is not being straight with you. HOW LONG WILL I BE IN ISTANBUL? Crown treatment is usually completed in one visit of five to seven days: preparation and digital scanning at the start, try-in mid-visit, and fitting of your final crowns before you fly home. Keeping it to a single short visit is not only convenient. As noted above, long periods in temporary crowns raise the risk of pulp damage — which is a clinical reason to finish the work properly rather than send you home half-treated. Where teeth need root canal treatment, extraction or gum treatment first, your plan may need two visits. We tell you which before you book anything. WHAT YOU TAKE HOME WITH YOU Your written five-year guarantee. A signed, dated contract in your name. If a complication arises from treatment we performed, the revision is carried out here free of charge for five years. Your crown record. Material, brand, shade, laboratory and date for every unit fitted. A dentist at home who knows exactly what is in your mouth can look after it. One who does not is being asked to guess — and that is the real reason behind "dentists won't touch work done abroad". Your treatment record, X-rays and photographs, including your before images. WHY IS THIS DONE INSIDE A HOSPITAL? Casas Clinics is a registered medical unit of Private Florya Hospital in Istanbul, with cardiology, internal medicine, anaesthesiology, intensive care and a 24-hour emergency department in the same building. For routine crown work this rarely matters. It matters when a case involves extractions, surgery, sedation or general anaesthesia — and it matters if you have a heart condition, diabetes, a respiratory illness or you take blood thinners. Those patients are reviewed by the relevant hospital specialist before treatment begins, rather than turned away. WHAT DO CROWNS COST IN TURKEY COMPARED WITH THE UK? On the NHS, crowns fall under Band 3, currently £332.10 per course of treatment. That figure is real, and it is worth understanding what it does and does not mean: NHS crowns are provided where there is a clinical need, not for cosmetic reasons; the material is not your choice; and access is the constraint — as of mid-2025, fewer than 40% of adults in England had seen an NHS dentist in the previous two years.Private crowns in the UK are commonly quoted in the range of £400 to £1,200 depending on material. In Ireland, the Irish Dental Association gives a figure of €600 to €850. Our prices are published in full, and the figure you are given before you travel is the figure you pay. [ See our full price list → ] FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Do crowns ruin your natural teeth? A crown permanently removes around two thirds of the tooth's visible structure. On a tooth that is already broken down, that is a worthwhile trade. On a healthy tooth, it is damage with no clinical benefit — which is why we do not do it. How much of my tooth is shaved down for a crown? Between 63% and 75% of the visible structure, according to measured research. A veneer removes around 17%, a minimal adhesive restoration around 5%. Do they shave your teeth in Turkey? Some clinics do, on teeth that did not need it. That practice is real and it is what created the phrase "Turkey teeth". It is a question about the clinic, not about the country — and the way to answer it is to ask any clinic what they will remove, and why, before you agree to anything. Do I need a crown or a veneer? If the tooth is sound and the issue is appearance, a veneer or bonding is usually the right answer. If the tooth is broken down, a veneer will not hold. We will show you the scan and explain which applies to you. Can Turkey teeth be reversed? No. Removed tooth structure does not come back. Poor crowns can be replaced and badly planned cases improved, but the underlying teeth cannot be restored to their original state. Will I need a root canal after having a crown? Around 3.5% of crowned teeth need root canal treatment within ten years, with the figure rising over longer periods. The risk is small for one necessary crown, and adds up quickly across a full set of unnecessary ones. Why do clinics in Turkey put crowns on healthy teeth? Because crowns are quick, sold in large numbers, and produce an immediate visual change. It is a commercial answer rather than a clinical one. Are Turkey teeth the same as veneers? No, and the confusion matters. Most of what is shown as "veneers" on social media is actually full crowns. The difference is roughly 17% of your tooth against 70%. How long do dental crowns last? In the largest real-world dataset, 77% are still in place at five years, 63% at ten and 53% at fifteen. Controlled studies report higher figures. Expect maintenance rather than permanence. Which is better for front teeth — zirconia or E-max? For front teeth, the published evidence favours E-max: higher five-year survival for single crowns and better light transmission. Zirconium remains our standard elsewhere, particularly where strength matters most. Will they look too white? Not unless you ask for that. We shade-match to your face and existing teeth, and you approve the result at try-in, in Istanbul, before anything is cemented. Does getting a crown hurt? Preparation is done under local anaesthetic. Sensitivity for a few days afterwards is common. For anxious patients, sedation and general anaesthesia are available, given by hospital anaesthetists. How many days do I need to stay in Turkey for crowns? Usually one visit of five to seven days. If teeth need root canal treatment, extractions or gum treatment first, your plan may need two visits — and we will tell you that before you book. Will a UK or Irish dentist look after crowns fitted in Turkey? Many will, particularly when you can tell them exactly what was fitted. You leave with a full crown record: material, brand, shade, laboratory and date. Would you ever tell me I don't need crowns? Yes. It happens regularly. If your teeth do not need crowning, we will say so and propose what we think you do need — which is often smaller and cheaper than what you came asking for.
