Porcelain Crowns in Turkey
Porcelain crowns strike the practical middle ground in crown choices: a natural, tooth-coloured look at a more accessible price than premium all-ceramic options. They cap a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its strength, shape and appearance — a dependable, widely-used solution.
At GD Smile Studio in Istanbul, porcelain crowns are crafted for UK and European patients, with savings of up to 70% versus the UK.
What are porcelain crowns?
Porcelain crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over a prepared tooth to restore:
- Strength
- Shape
- Function
- A natural, bright appearance
Two porcelain crown types
"Porcelain crown" can mean two builds, and we’ll recommend the right one for your case:
| Type | What it is | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| All-ceramic porcelain | Metal-free, most natural translucency | Visible front teeth |
| Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) | Porcelain over a metal framework for extra strength | Back teeth, budget-conscious cases |
Want the most natural look or maximum metal-free strength? Compare with E-max and zirconium crowns, or see the full crowns overview.
