Metal porcelain dental crowns in Turkey, also known as porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns, are one of the treatment options considered by local and international patients planning fixed restorations for multiple teeth. Treatment in Istanbul is planned individually according to the number of teeth requiring crowns, the condition of the existing teeth, and any additional procedures needed.
For international patients, the process may begin with an online preliminary assessment before travelling. Existing X-rays and intraoral photographs can be reviewed to provide initial information about the estimated treatment plan, the required length of stay in Turkey, and the approximate cost. The final plan is determined after a clinical examination in Istanbul.
Planning Metal Porcelain Crown Treatment in Turkey
For international patients travelling to Turkey for metal porcelain dental crowns, the process begins before the trip whenever possible. The aim is to estimate the scope of treatment before the patient arrives in Istanbul and arrange the clinical procedures around their travel schedule.
1. Assessment Before Travelling
Patients may share photographs of their teeth and a recent panoramic X-ray, if available. Previous treatments, such as crowns, bridges, dental implants, or root canal treatment, are also considered during the assessment. This information can be used to provide an initial evaluation of which teeth may be suitable for crowns, any additional treatments that might be required, and the approximate treatment schedule.
2. Examination and Final Planning in Istanbul
After arriving in Istanbul, the patient undergoes a clinical examination and any necessary imaging. The condition of the teeth, existing restorations, and the possible need for additional procedures, such as root canal treatment, are evaluated before the final treatment plan is prepared.
3. Crown Preparation and Try-In Appointments
Once the planned teeth have been prepared, impressions or digital scans are taken and the laboratory stage begins. Temporary teeth may be used during this period when necessary. The completed metal porcelain crowns are tried in the mouth to check their fit, appearance, and bite.
4. Final Check and Returning Home
After the necessary adjustments have been completed, the crowns are permanently fitted and final checks are performed. For international patients, the return journey is scheduled to allow sufficient time to check the fit of the crowns and the bite. This allows any minor adjustments to be completed before the patient leaves Turkey.
Following the final treatment plan, tooth preparation, impressions or digital scanning, laboratory work, and crown try-ins are arranged according to the patient’s schedule in Istanbul. Temporary teeth may be provided when necessary until the permanent restorations are ready.
Metal Porcelain Crown Prices in Turkey
Metal porcelain crown prices in Turkey may vary depending on the number of teeth requiring crowns, the condition of the existing teeth, and any additional procedures needed before treatment.
| Crown Type | Price (Per Tooth) | Key Feature | Commonly Preferred Area |
|---|---|---|---|
| Metal Porcelain Crown | €90 | Durable and affordable | Back teeth |
| Zirconium Crown | €130 | Metal-free, aesthetic, and durable | Front and back teeth |
| E-max Crown | €190 | High translucency and a natural appearance | Front teeth |
When crowns are planned for several teeth, the total cost is calculated according to the number of teeth included in the treatment plan. If the existing teeth require fillings, root canal treatment, or another procedure, these are assessed separately. For this reason, particularly in comprehensive cases, the final price is confirmed after the clinical examination.
