Zirconia Crowns in Turkey: 2026 Costs, Benefits & Full Guide
Quick Verdict: Zirconia Crowns are the strongest, most biocompatible option for restoring teeth in 2026. They are 100% metal-free, do not cause grey gum lines, and are virtually unbreakable.
💰 2026 Price: At IST SMILE EXPERTS, Premium Zirconia Crowns start from €195 per tooth. This is a massive saving compared to the UK (€900), USA ($1,500), and Australia ($1,800).
Why Choose Zirconia Crowns? (The Metal-Free Revolution)
In the past, crowns were made of metal fused to porcelain (PFM), which often left a dark grey line at the gums. Zirconium changed everything. It is a white crystal metal that is:
- ✅ 5x Stronger than porcelain (can withstand heavy biting).
- ✅ 100% Biocompatible: No allergies, no gum irritation.
- ✅ Natural Look: Light passes through it like a real tooth.
- ✅ Precision Fit: Designed digitally using CAD/CAM technology.

People Also Ask (Expert Answers)
How much is zirconium crown in Turkey 2026?
In 2026, a high-quality Zirconium Crown in Turkey typically costs between €180 and €250. At IST SMILE EXPERTS, we offer premium Monolithic Zirconia for €195, which is 70-80% cheaper than the UK (€900) or USA ($1,500).
Why are crowns so cheap in Turkey?
It is purely economic. The lower cost is due to lower operational costs (rent, labor) and currency exchange advantages, NOT lower quality. We use the exact same German/Swiss materials (Zirkonzahn®, Ivoclar) as expensive Western clinics.
How expensive is a full zirconia smile?
In the UK/USA, a full smile (20 teeth) can cost over $25,000. In Istanbul, a Full Zirconia Smile Package costs around €4,000 - €4,500. This price often includes 5-star accommodation and VIP transfers.
Will UK dentists touch "Turkey Teeth"?
Yes, if the work is professional. The hesitation comes from "over-prepped" teeth. At IST SMILE EXPERTS, Dr. Nacip ensures minimal preparation. We provide you with a "Treatment Passport" (in English) detailing exactly what was done, so your local dentist can confidently provide routine check-ups.
