What Are Zirconia Crowns? The Powerhouse of Modern Dentistry
A Zirconia crown is a full-coverage tooth cap made from zirconium dioxide, a biocompatible ceramic that is incredibly strong and resistant to fracture. Unlike old metal-based crowns, Zirconia crowns are 100% metal-free, meaning no unsightly grey lines at the gum and no risk of metal allergies.
Think of it this way: if traditional porcelain is like fine china, beautiful but delicate, Zirconia is like advanced ceramic armour—exceptionally tough while being aesthetically pleasing. This unique combination makes it one of the most versatile materials in dentistry. At Perfect Smile Turkey, we use globally recognized premium brands like Zirkonzahn to create two main types of Zirconia crowns:
- Monolithic Zirconia: Milled from a single, solid block of Zirconia. This type offers the absolute maximum in strength and is the undisputed champion for restoring back teeth (molars) or for patients who grind their teeth.
Layered Zirconia: This crown has a super-strong Zirconia core, with a layer of more translucent, life-like porcelain expertly baked onto the front surface. This combines the strength of Zirconia with enhanced aesthetics, making it a great choice for front teeth in a full smile makeover
Who is an Ideal Candidate for Zirconia Crowns Turkey?
Zirconia is our material of choice for situations where strength and durability are paramount. You are a perfect candidate for zirconia crowns in Turkey if you:
- Have teeth that are heavily decayed, cracked, or worn down and require robust protection.
- Suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), as Zirconia can withstand the immense pressure.
- Need to restore your molars, which handle the majority of chewing forces.
- Are replacing missing teeth with a multi-unit zirconia bridge in Turkey.
- Are undergoing a Full Mouth Reconstruction Turkey and want a uniform, strong, and beautiful result.

The Patient Journey: Your New Smile in Just One Week
Thanks to our advanced in-house laboratory and digital workflow, a complete smile transformation with Zirconia crowns can be completed in a single, comfortable trip of 5 to 7 days.
- Consultation & Digital Smile Design: Your journey begins at our Istanbul or Antalya clinic. We take 3D scans and high-definition photos to create your Digital Smile Design. You get to see a simulation of your new smile and approve the design before we even start.
- Tooth Preparation: Our dentists gently reshape your natural teeth to create the perfect foundation for the crowns to sit on.
- Precision Digital Scanning: We use an intraoral 3D scanner to capture a perfect digital model of your prepared teeth—no more messy, uncomfortable impression trays.
- CAD/CAM Milling: The digital model is sent to our on-site lab, where our technicians use CAD/CAM technology to mill your crowns from a solid block of high-grade Zirkonzahn Zirconia, ensuring a flawless fit with micron-level accuracy.
- Trial Fitting & Final Cementation: We place your new crowns for a trial fitting. We meticulously check the bite, fit, comfort, and appearance. Once you are absolutely thrilled with your new smile, we permanently bond the crowns in place.
An Expert's Perspective on Crafting Zirconia
The key to a successful, long-lasting zirconia restoration lies in achieving a passive fit and an ideal cement gap, which we control digitally to under 50 microns to prevent any future issues. A common patient question is, “I’ve heard Zirconia looks chalky and fake. Is that true?” This was a valid concern with older versions of the material. However, modern, multi-layered Zirconia blocks, like the Zirkonzahn Prettau® Anterior we use, have incredible natural translucency and are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Another clinical consideration is Zirconia’s hardness. Patients ask, “Will it wear down my natural teeth?” We address this by meticulously polishing the crowns to a mirror-like finish and ensuring your bite is perfectly balanced, allowing the restorations to function in harmony with your existing teeth.
Understanding the Full Mouth Zirconia Crowns Price Turkey
Here is where the exceptional value of dental travel becomes undeniable. You receive a premium, high-tech dental restoration, often considered one of the most expensive options in the UK or Europe, for a fraction of the cost. The full mouth zirconia crowns price in Turkey is not lower because of inferior quality; it is a direct result of the country’s lower cost of living, including lab fees and clinical overheads.
| Procedure | Turkey (Perfect Smile) | United Kingdom / EU | USA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zirconia Crown (per tooth) | €250 - €350 | €800 - €1,400+ | $1,000 - $2,200+ |
| Full Mouth Zirconia Crowns (20 teeth) | €5,000 - €7,000 | €16,000 - €28,000+ | $20,000 - $44,000+ |

Zirconia's Star Role: The Unbeatable Zirconia Bridge Turkey
When you need to replace one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge is an excellent fixed solution. However, a bridge must be strong enough to handle chewing forces across the gap. This is where Zirconia truly shines.
Its immense flexural strength makes it the number one material for a zirconia bridge in Turkey. While more aesthetic materials like E-max are perfect for single crowns on front teeth, they are not strong enough to be used for multi-tooth bridges. Zirconia provides the robust, monolithic structure needed to create a durable and reliable bridge that can last for decades. You can learn more about our options on our Dental Bridge Turkey page.
Contraindications & Alternative Pathways
Our commitment is to your long-term health, which means always recommending the most appropriate treatment.
- For Minor Cosmetic Flaws on Front Teeth: If your front teeth are healthy but have minor issues like chips, stains, or small gaps, a full Zirconia crown is unnecessary. A far more conservative treatment is E-max Veneers Crowns Turkey, which offers superior aesthetics with minimal tooth preparation.
- For Replacing a Single Missing Tooth: While a Zirconia bridge is a great option, if the teeth next to the gap are perfectly healthy, the gold-standard treatment is a Dental Implants Turkey. This standalone solution replaces the tooth without needing to prepare the adjacent teeth.
- For Very Small Chips or Reshaping: For the smallest imperfections, the most conservative approach is Composite Bonding Turkey. This is a single-visit procedure that requires little to no tooth removal.
Preparatory Treatments: Building a Solid Foundation
To ensure your Zirconia crowns last a lifetime, the underlying teeth must be perfectly healthy. Before we begin, we may need to perform:
- Root Canal Treatment Turkey: If a tooth has an infected or damaged nerve, it must be treated first to eliminate infection and save the tooth’s root structure.
- Periodontal Care: Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. Any signs of gum disease must be treated before placing your final crowns.
With its unparalleled strength, excellent biocompatibility, and ever-improving aesthetics, Zirconia is the premier choice for a strong, worry-free, and beautiful smile.
If you are ready to invest in a smile that is built to last, contact Perfect Smile Turkey today. Let us show you why we are the clinic of choice for the best zirconia crowns in Turkey.
After a healing period of 3-6 months, which allows the implants to fuse with your jawbone (a process called osseointegration), you will return for a short second trip to be fitted with your final, permanent bridge, which is typically made from more durable materials like zirconia.
