When undergoing treatment for permanent restorations like Zirconium Crowns, Ceramic Crowns (E-Max), or Metal-Porcelain-Gold Crowns in Turkey, a crucial intermediate step involves the placement of temporary dental crowns. These dental temporary crowns, sometimes called temporary dental caps, play a vital role in protecting your prepared tooth and maintaining function while your final, custom-made crown is being fabricated in the dental laboratory.
Explore our gallery of real patient transformations and see the unparalleled aesthetic results of temporary crowns.
The cost associated with temporary dental crowns is generally not itemized separately for patients. It is considered an essential part of the overall crown procedure.
| Service Component | Typical Cost Inclusion | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary Crown | Included in Permanent Crown Package | Covers material, fabrication (chairside or lab), and placement. |
| Re-cementation (if needed) | Usually Included | If the temporary comes loose during your treatment stay in Turkey. |
Temporary dental crowns are pre-formed or custom-made restorations designed to cover a tooth that has been prepared (filed down) for a permanent crown or bridge. They are typically made from materials like acrylic, resin, or composite. Their primary purpose is to serve as a placeholder for a short period – usually a few days to a couple of weeks – while the permanent restoration is crafted. They are fixed onto the prepared tooth using a weaker, temporary cement, allowing for easy removal when the final crown is ready.
Temporary crowns are essential for several reasons during your dental crown or Dental Bridge procedure in Turkey:
It's vital to understand the distinction between temporary crowns vs permanent crowns:
| Feature | Temporary Crowns | Permanent Crowns (Zirconia, E-Max, PFM) |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Short-term protection & placeholder | Long-term restoration |
| Material | Acrylic, Resin, Composite | Zirconia, E-Max, PFM, Gold etc. |
| Strength | Lower, prone to breaking/wear | Very High, durable |
| Fit & Seal | Adequate seal, less precise fit | Highly precise fit, excellent seal |
| Aesthetics | Good, but less natural & stainable | Excellent, natural, stain-resistant |
| Cement | Weak, temporary | Strong, permanent |
| Longevity | Days to weeks | 10-20+ Years |
While wearing your temporary crown in Turkey between appointments, follow these guidelines carefully:
While essential, temporary crowns have limitations:
At Dentalays, we understand that even temporary restorations impact your comfort and confidence during your stay in Turkey. We take care to:
They are typically made from acrylic, composite resin, or sometimes pre-fabricated metal shells, designed for short-term use.
Usually only for the few days (typically 3-5 days in Turkey) it takes for our dental lab to fabricate your permanent Zirconium or Ceramic crown.
It's not ideal, as the underlying tooth is vulnerable. Contact your dentist immediately to have it re-cemented or replaced. Do not try to glue it back yourself.
No. You need to be careful. Avoid very hard, sticky, or chewy foods, and try to chew primarily on the opposite side of your mouth.
They provide a reasonable aesthetic covering and are tooth-coloured, but they lack the natural translucency, precise colour matching, and fine details of permanent Ceramic or Zirconium crowns. They serve their purpose cosmetically for the short time they are needed.
In dentistry, high-resolution photographs are taken to evaluate the patient’s existing tooth structure and facial aesthetics. These photos are used to document and analyze the condition, color, and shape of the teeth and their harmony with the patient’s face.
Why is it important? Professional photographs help dentists and lab technicians plan the restoration process and achieve ideal aesthetic results.
5D scanning technology allows for highly precise digital scanning of teeth and oral structures. This technology goes beyond traditional 3D scans by capturing additional information such as color, texture, and movement.
Why is it important? 5D scanning enables the creation of detailed digital models of teeth, allowing for more accurate and personalized restorations. This accelerates the treatment process and provides a more comfortable experience for the patient.
Special dental burs are used for shaping teeth with minimal preparation and for the precise placement of restorations. These burs are high-precision and sharp instruments.
Why is it important? The use of special dental burs for accurate and minimally invasive preparation maximizes the preservation of tooth structure and improves aesthetic outcomes.
Dental laboratories equipped with advanced technology play a key role in the production of restorations. These labs use CAD/CAM systems, high-precision manufacturing devices, and biocompatible materials.
Why is it important? Laboratories with quality and technological infrastructure ensure that restorations are produced with perfect fit and aesthetics. This helps patients achieve long-lasting and natural-looking results. Minimal prep technology, with the integration of these components, provides highly aesthetic and functional restorations while preserving the natural structure of the teeth. These methods increase patient satisfaction and make treatment processes more efficient.

Temporary Crowns Real Customer Reviews
Real experiences, real smile
Wow !!! I’ve literally just had my new smile, I’m over the moon! Had a lot of work done to get the smile I’ve wanted for years but the whole team at Dentalays have been amazing! Can’t thank them enough. Every visit I was made to feel relaxed, informed of everything that was going to take place (most of which through a brilliant translator, who was with my every step of the way) I’d highly recommend Dentalays if you’re thinking about cosmetic treatments.
Dentalays Clinic is like home!!! Not only are our smiles beautiful and important to the entire staff! But who we are and what kind of people we are! I felt at home! Very warm atmosphere! In such a short time I got to know each of them very well! We are not just clients there, but they give everyone a lot of warmth and care! They want to get to know us. Which for me is very beautiful! Being there you will not lack anything! No matter how difficult the procedure you are going through, you receive a lot of support and care! Another thing that is important to me is that each of them does it with passion. The entire procedure must be done perfectly, every imperfection is corrected! We do not feel like a piggy bank! Because for them money is really secondary! The most important thing for the clinic is our well-being and health and satisfaction with the procedure performed! Nothing is done in a hurry and without discussing it with you or the Doctor! I loved these people and I know that I will go back there to spend some time with them! They are my second home and I know that I can always count on them! There are few people with such a good heart these days!
DENTALAYS I love you! Thank you for everything and I miss you already! Now I know that with a smile like the one you gave me I will find my HUSBAND 😂
See you soon ❤️❤️❤️
