Overview
What does this involve?
- A dental crown is a custom-fabricated ceramic cap that fully encloses a damaged or heavily restored tooth from the gum line upward, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. A fixed bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by suspending a ceramic pontic between crowns cemented to the adjacent natural teeth, the abutments, which carry the prosthetic load.
- Modern restorative ceramics include lithium disilicate (Ivoclar Vivadent IPS e.max) for anterior and premolar units where translucency and shade match are clinically primary, and high-strength zirconia (VITA, Katana) for posterior molars and longer-span bridges where flexural strength is the priority. Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) remains a third option for selected posterior cases or where a specific occlusal scheme demands the metal substructure. The verified partner aesthetic dentist on the ATDERA pathway selects the ceramic system unit by unit rather than as a default.
- Through the ATDERA Care Network, crown and bridge treatment in Turkey is reviewed individually before any pathway is proposed. The digital impression, shade selection, and provisional restoration stages are scheduled around the patient's clinical timeline rather than a fixed itinerary, and the prosthetic plan is recorded in writing before the preparation appointment is confirmed.
Who is this for?
- Adults with a heavily restored, fractured, or root-canal-treated tooth where the remaining tooth structure is no longer sufficient to support a direct filling and a full-coverage ceramic crown is the more durable restorative option.
- Patients with one or more missing teeth between sound natural abutments, who are evaluating a fixed ceramic bridge against alternatives such as a single-tooth implant or a removable partial denture.
- Patients with older crowns or bridges that have discoloured at the margin, fractured, or developed recurrent decay under the abutment, where coordinated replacement is preferred over piecemeal repair.
Key considerations
- Heavily restored or structurally compromised tooth where a direct filling is no longer adequate and full-coverage protection is clinically indicated.
- Fractured cusp, cracked-tooth syndrome, or post-endodontic protection of a tooth at risk of vertical fracture under occlusal load.
- One or more adjacent missing teeth between sound natural abutments, where a fixed bridge is appropriate and implant placement is not pursued.
- Replacement of older PFM, all-ceramic, or composite crown and bridge work that has discoloured, fractured, or marginally failed.
- Aesthetic correction of a single posterior or anterior unit within a wider restorative plan, where the unit cannot be conserved with a veneer.
What to Expect
Before
Restorative Evaluation and Material Selection
2–4 weeks beforeA verified partner aesthetic dentist reviews your case remotely from clinical photographs, a recent panoramic radiograph, and a written restorative brief covering the unit or units in question. The review confirms candidacy, identifies whether crowns, a bridge, or a combined plan is appropriate, and selects the ceramic system unit by unit — lithium disilicate (Ivoclar Vivadent IPS e.max) for anterior translucency, high-strength zirconia (VITA, Katana) for posterior load-bearing units, or PFM where clinically indicated. ATDERA then issues a written, customised estimate covering the clinician fee, ceramic system, and any adjunctive procedure such as endodontic retreatment or periodontal preparation.
During
Tooth Preparation, Digital Impression, and Provisional Fitting
1–2 hours per unitUnder local anaesthesia, the prepared unit or abutments are reduced to the depth required by the chosen ceramic system — a more conservative axial reduction for lithium disilicate, a circumferential reduction for full-strength zirconia or PFM. A digital scan is taken and sent to the on-site ceramic laboratory for fabrication. A provisional crown or bridge is fitted over the prepared tooth or teeth so the patient leaves the appointment with a functional and aesthetically acceptable interim restoration during fabrication.
After
Final Cementation, Aftercare, and Long-Term Review
5–7 days in countryOnce the laboratory has fabricated the definitive crown or bridge, the patient returns to the clinic for cementation. Each unit is tried, fit and shade are confirmed against the agreed plan, and the ceramic is cemented with the system specific to the chosen material. Patients follow a soft diet for 24 hours and resume routine oral hygiene immediately. The ATDERA care coordinator schedules a 24-hour in-country review and remote video reviews within 1st week and 3rd month, with annual reviews of margin integrity, shade match, and occlusion thereafter.
