Dental Crown
Dental Crown Treatment Options by Dr. Bilge Odabaşı
Initial Consultation and Evaluation:
- Comprehensive Dental Examination: Dr. Odabaşı assesses the condition of the teeth and oral health, focusing on the tooth or teeth requiring crowns.
- Dental Imaging: Utilizes X-rays or digital imaging to evaluate the structure and health of the teeth and surrounding bone.
Preparation for Crown:
- The affected tooth is reshaped to accommodate a crown. This involves either filing down the tooth or building it up.
- Impressions or digital scans of the tooth are taken, which are essential for the custom fabrication of the crown.
Crown Material Options:
- Monolithic Zirconium Crowns: Known for their strength and durability, these crowns are made from solid zirconia and are ideal for back teeth where biting forces are greatest. They offer a natural-looking appearance and are highly resistant to chipping or breaking.
- E-max (Lithium Disilicate) Crowns: E-max crowns are known for their superior aesthetics and are made from a single block of lithium disilicate ceramic, a top-quality material that is both durable and delicate. Ideal for front teeth due to their translucent color and realistic appearance.
Temporary Crown Placement:
- A temporary crown may be placed over the tooth while the permanent crown is being crafted in the dental lab.
Fitting and Placement of the Permanent Crown:
- Once the permanent crown is ready, Dr. Odabaşı checks the fit, color, and bite alignment. Adjustments are made as necessary.
- The crown is then cemented into place, completing the restoration.

Follow-Up and Aftercare:
- Regular follow-up visits are scheduled to ensure the health of the crown and overall oral hygiene.
- Patients are advised on caring for their new crown, including brushing, flossing, and avoiding habits that may damage the crown.
Key Considerations
- Material Selection: The choice between monolithic zirconium and E-max crowns depends on the location of the tooth, aesthetic preferences, and functional requirements.
- Longevity and Durability: Both types of crowns are known for their durability. Zirconium crowns are particularly strong, while E-max crowns offer exceptional aesthetic qualities.
- Customization: Each crown is custom-made to match the patient’s natural teeth in color, shape, and size for a seamless and natural appearance.
In providing these options, Dr. Bilge Odabaşı ensures that patients receive the most suitable type of crown based on their specific needs, aesthetic preferences, and the functional demands of their teeth. Her expertise ensures that the final result is not only durable and functional but also aesthetically pleasing and in harmony with the patient’s natural smile.
