Dental crowns at GD Smile Studio in Istanbul

Dental Crowns in Turkey

A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged, weak or discoloured tooth to restore its strength, function and appearance. Unlike a veneer — which covers only the front surface — a crown encases the whole tooth, making it the go-to choice when a tooth needs protection, not just a cosmetic touch-up.

At GD Smile Studio in Istanbul, crowns are crafted in our premium lab for UK and European patients, with savings of up to 70% versus the UK.

The crown process

Consultation & digital analysis

We assess your tooth and plan your crown — free and no obligation.

Tooth preparation

The tooth is shaped and reduced under local anaesthetic, so the process is pain-free.

Temporary crown

A temporary crown protects the tooth while your permanent one is crafted in the lab.

Final fitting

Your custom crown is fitted and the bite adjusted for a natural, comfortable result.

The process usually takes 1–2 weeks and 2–3 appointments; a quality crown lasts 10–15 years, often 20+ with good care.

Dental crowns frequently asked questions

The basics

What is a dental crown and why is it used?

A dental crown is a prosthetic that covers a damaged tooth, restoring its strength, function and appearance.

When is a crown necessary?

It’s needed on teeth that are fractured, decayed, root-canal-treated, or that need restoration for aesthetics or strength.

What’s the difference between a crown and a veneer?

Crowns encase the whole tooth for strength, whereas veneers cover only the front surface and are mainly for aesthetics.

Does a crown look like a natural tooth?

Yes — crowns closely match natural teeth in colour, shape and lustre.

Procedure, lifespan & care

How is crown treatment performed?

The tooth is shaped, impressions are taken, the crown is made in a lab, and it’s then fitted onto the tooth.

Is it painful?

No — the tooth is numbed with local anaesthesia, so the procedure is pain-free. Mild temperature sensitivity afterwards usually settles quickly.

How long do dental crowns last?

Typically 10–15 years, and with proper care 20 years or longer.

Are there any risks?

Possible risks include tooth sensitivity, crown loosening, decay around the crown and, in rare cases, allergic reactions.

What if a crown falls off or breaks?

See your dentist promptly. It can often be reattached or replaced with a new one.
