If you need dental crowns, Ankara in Turkey is a great place to save money while enjoying a well-earned break in the culture- and history-packed Turkish capital.

With prices and waiting times on the rise in the UK, as well as other nearby European countries, it makes sense to book a cheap flight and head abroad for important dental work.

Read on to discover some of the best clinics in Ankara for dental crowns, with prices.

Dental crowns are used as part of a number of different dental treatments, normally to restore the function or appearance of a chipped, damaged or otherwise weakened tooth.

These custom-made “caps” are typically placed over existing teeth, which are filed to more of a stub-like shape in order to accommodate the crown, allowing it to sit flush with your adjacent teeth.

The most common types of crowns include:

• Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns: more durable but least aesthetically appealing
• Full porcelain/ceramic crowns: most natural-looking but least durable
• Zirconia crowns: the most durable and natural-looking—but expensive

Thanks to technologies like computer-aided design/manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and ceramic reconstruction (CEREC), crowns can often be made and fitted on the same day as your initial appointment in Ankara.

This is especially helpful for dental tourists who usually do not have time for multiple sessions. Thus, if you’ve planned a holiday, you can spend more time sightseeing in the old town, heading out on interesting day trip excursions or visiting one of Turkey’s other many impressive cities, like Istanbul, Izmir or Antalya.

In Ankara, prices for dental crowns are at least 50% less than you would pay in the UK:

• A porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crown in Ankara costs approximately EUR 150.
• A full porcelain/ceramic crown in Ankara costs approximately EUR 350.

In comparison, in the UK, a dental crown at a private clinic can cost anywhere between GBP 500–1,000.
