Understanding Zirconium Crowns

Zirconium crowns are sturdy and blend well with natural teeth. They're popular due to their durability (lasting up to 15 years) and aesthetic appeal. Patients like Hannah appreciate this because it ensures longevity.

Exploring Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain crowns are known for their lifelike appearance. They closely mimic natural tooth enamel, making them ideal for front teeth. However, they may not be as durable as zirconium in some cases.

Choosing the Right Option with Dr. Nurten Caliskan

Hannah had a consultation with Dr. Nurten Caliskan. Together, they discussed her needs and budget. This personalized approach helped her feel confident in choosing zirconium for her back teeth and porcelain for the front.

Addressing Common Concerns

Safety in Istanbul is paramount. Clinics maintain high hygiene standards. Communication is smooth; many staff speak English fluently. Aftercare includes detailed instructions and follow-up availability.

Cost Considerations

$400-$600 per crown in Istanbul versus $2,500 or more in Australia makes a significant difference. For Hannah, this meant comprehensive care without breaking the bank.
