Dental Crowns

What Is a Dental Crown?

A Dental Crown is a custom-made restoration that covers and protects a damaged, weakened, heavily restored, or aesthetically compromised tooth. It is designed to restore the tooth’s strength, function, shape, proportion and appearance while providing a natural-looking result.

At Antalya Smile Designs, each crown is planned according to the patient’s individual tooth structure, bite, smile line, facial proportions and aesthetic preferences. The objective is not simply to make the teeth whiter, but to create a balanced and harmonious smile while maintaining proper dental function.

Why Might You Need a Dental Crown?

A Dental Crown may be recommended when a tooth:

• Has extensive decay or significant structural damage
• Has a large filling and insufficient remaining tooth structure
• Has been weakened following root canal treatment
• Is cracked, fractured or severely worn
• Has significant discolouration that cannot be corrected with whitening
• Has an undesirable shape or proportion
• Requires restoration as part of a comprehensive smile makeover
• Is being restored over a dental implant

Your dentist will assess the condition of the tooth before recommending a crown. Where a natural tooth can be predictably preserved with a more conservative treatment, alternatives may be considered.

• Restore strength and function to a weakened tooth
