Dental Crowns are tooth-shaped caps. The crown completely covers the tooth to be crowned and the dentist has to abrade a certain amount from the enamel of the tooth for a proper and healthy application.
The usage area of Dental Crowns is quite wide. Many examples such as smile line improvement, crooked teeth, damaged teeth, broken teeth, and missing teeth can be given. It is possible to achieve excellent results with Dental Crowns on front teeth, as they are very aesthetic due to their structure and can capture the normal tooth form and appearance.
In addition, Crowns can also be used in Bridge form and Implant Crown form. The reason why Porcelain Crowns are used in so many areas is that they are very durable and provide an aesthetic and natural appearance. You can also view the Dental Crowns before and after photographs here.

How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
Dental Crowns are very strong materials in terms of their structure and their life span is 15 - 20 years on average. However, it is in your hands to extend the life of Crowns by taking care of oral care and hygiene and having your maintenance done regularly. We can show our teeth as an example of this situation. The more we take care of our teeth, the healthier and longer-lasting they will be. However, when we do not take care and do not care about brushing and cleaning, cavities, bad breath, toothache and gum inflammation will occur. Therefore, the main factor is to show the necessary importance and care for Crowns.
Do Dental Crowns Fall Out Easily?

However, in poorly glued, poorly prepared and poorly calculated applications, there may be a risk of falling out and other and other problems may arise. Therefore, it is recommended that you research the clinic, doctors and aftercare well. The more important the treatment phase is, the more important the services offered after treatment. The treatments and aftercare we offer here at OGN Dental Studio are extremely comprehensive and patient-orientated.
Can I Get Tooth Decay After Having Dental Crowns?
No matter how strong and durable Dental Crowns treatment is, if proper cleaning and hygiene is not performed, plaque, tartar and bacteria formation is observed on the teeth. These will cause damage to both the tooth and the Crowns over time. No matter how firmly the Crowns are bonded, these pests will reach the tooth over time and cause decay and odour. In some cases, decay under the Crown may also be related to genetics, bone disorders and jaw structure. As OGN Dental Studio, 3D X-Rays are examined in detail in every procedure and all precautions are taken to avoid such a situation.

What Should I Not Aat With Dental Crowns?

Dental Crowns vs Veneers?
While Veneers is a treatment that covers the front surface of the tooth, Crowns treatment is a treatment that covers 360 degrees of the teeth. While a maximum of 0.4mm of the tooth is cut for Veneers treatment, up to 1.1mm of the tooth can be cut in Crowns. The main reason for this is that Crowns cover the tooth 360 degrees. The resistance of Veneers is 40% to 45% lower than Crowns in proportion to the ratio they cover on the surface of the teeth. Crowns treatment is much more advanced than Veneers treatment in terms of strength and durability and Crowns treatment is recommended especially in cases of bruxism and tooth clenching.
Aesthetically, the efficiency obtained from Veneers is much higher than Crowns. Since Veneers are thinner in terms of their structure, their light transmittance is higher than Crowns and the rate of providing a natural appearance is much higher than Crowns.
Types Of Dental Crowns

We can give examples of Zirconium Crowns and Monolithic Zirconium Crowns to those with Zirconia infrastructure. Materials such as E.max, CEREC, Celtra, IPS Emax can be added to those with glass ceramic infrastructure.
