Why Zirconium Crowns in Turkey?
Turkey has stood out in recent years due to the quality of its medical facilities and personnel. Istanbul in particular has seen hospitals and clinics blooming all throughout the city, currently ranking amongst the most modern in the world.
The Turkish medical industry has risen up to become one of the most advanced in the world due to its high profitability for patients and doctors and a simultaneous combination of factors:
- Massive inflow of foreign patients attracted by cost-effectiveness (up to 700,000 per year)
- Government subsidies and tax exemptions to the medical industry
- Heavy foreign investment, particularly from the US and Arab countries
The sheer volume of treatment performed each day has also led Turkish dentists to become some of the most experienced in the world on an overall basis.
More than 100,000 foreign patients choose to get zirconium crowns in Turkey every year through a triple magic formula: affordable prices, avantgarde facilities and experienced dentists.
What are Zirconium Crowns?
Zirconium crowns constitute a cosmetic procedure carried out to improve chewing, enhance jawline, maxillary structure, and to allow a full smile. Zirconium crowns are currently the most popular choice due to 2 reasons:
- They are almost impossible to crack: zirconium crowns are at least 3 times stronger than porcelain. Made out of zirconium dioxide, they also are the most durable in the market.
- They are natural-looking: made out of zirconium dioxide, the material perfectly resembles natural teeth. Zirconium is shiny, good-looking and does not stain.
Zirconium Crowns Turkey Before & After

Types of Zirconium Crowns Available in Turkey
Based on the diagnosis and your clinical case, our dentists will advise you on what option will provide the best results as a combination of aesthetics and functionality.
Here are the best types of zirconium teeth in Turkey:
Commonly referred to as zirconium porcelain crowns in Turkey, these are tooth caps with an internal structure in zirconium (white metal), with a thin high-resistance ceramic layer covering it.
Monolithic zirconium crowns, or “full anatomical” have a reduced quantity of alumina stabilizer (from 0.25% to 0.05%), which increases transparency allowing us to use it in its individual component (without ceramic).
Multilayered zirconium crowns have a zirconium base and ceramic coating. They were introduced as a substitute for metal. Their greatest benefit is the higher aesthetic appeal.

Zirconium is also highly resistant to staining, but excessive tea, coffee and smoking can lead to de-coloring and yellowing.
