A zirconia crown is a tooth-shaped cap made from zirconium dioxide, a biocompatible ceramic material known for its exceptional strength and natural appearance. Crowns are used to restore teeth that are cracked, heavily decayed, weakened after root canal treatment, or cosmetically unsatisfactory. The procedure usually takes two appointments over a few days. At the first visit, the tooth is prepared (reshaped) under local anaesthetic, impressions or digital scans are taken, and a temporary crown is placed. The permanent crown is then fabricated in a dental laboratory, often using CAD/CAM technology for a precise fit. At the second visit, the temporary crown is removed and the permanent zirconia crown is cemented in place. Zirconia is one of the most popular crown materials because it combines the strength of metal-based crowns with the translucency and colour-matching of natural teeth. It is especially suited for back teeth where biting forces are strongest, though modern translucent zirconia is also an excellent option for front teeth.

Zirconia Crowns in Antalya typically cost £141-£197 per per crown. This is significantly less than the UK average of £850.
Yes. Antalya is a well-established dental tourism destination. MyDentalFly only lists verified clinics with international accreditations. The same implant brands and materials used in the UK are available at partner clinics.
You'll typically need to stay 5-7 days in Antalya. Most treatments can be completed in a single trip.
Zirconia is stronger and better suited for back teeth or patients who grind. E-max has slightly better translucency and is often preferred for front teeth where aesthetics are the top priority. Both are excellent choices.
With good oral hygiene, zirconia crowns typically last 15-20 years or longer. They are one of the most durable crown materials available and highly resistant to chipping.
Yes. Modern zirconia can be layered or stained to closely mimic the colour and translucency of natural teeth. Most people cannot tell the difference between a well-made zirconia crown and a natural tooth.
Dental prices in Antalya are broadly similar to Istanbul, though some clinics offer slightly lower rates due to lower overheads. The real savings come from more affordable hotels and dining. Both cities offer substantial savings compared to UK, US, and EU prices.
Absolutely. Many patients choose Antalya specifically for this reason. Between appointments, you can relax on Konyaalti or Lara beach, visit waterfalls, or take a boat trip. Clinics schedule treatment to give you recovery days that double as holiday time.
