Porcelain crowns are like a superhero cape for your teeth. They’re custom-made caps placed over your teeth to make them look better and stronger. Whether it’s because a tooth is a bit worn out, broken, or just not looking its best, a porcelain crown can help. It’s like giving your tooth a brand-new look, making sure your smile is as bright and healthy as it can be.
Recovering from getting porcelain crowns is pretty straightforward. Here’s what you can expect:
Recovery Duration: Most people feel fine just a few days after the procedure, but it’s best to give it about two weeks before you consider yourself fully back to normal.
Stay in Turkey: If you're visiting Turkey for this, plan to stay for about a week. This gives you time for any necessary follow-ups.
Returning to Work: You can usually get back to work in just a couple of days, assuming your job isn’t super physical.
Getting Back to Exercise: Wait about a week before diving into any strenuous activities or heavy workouts.
Seeing the Final Results: You’ll see how great your smile looks right away, but it might take a little bit for you to get fully used to the feel of your new crowns.
Activities to Avoid: Steer clear of really hard or sticky foods at first to give your crowns a good start.
Diet Post-Treatment: Stick to softer foods for the first few days. Nothing too hot or cold either, to keep your teeth comfy.
Consultation
During your first visit, your dentist will have a look at your teeth and chat about what you want to achieve. They’ll explain how porcelain crowns can help and plan out the treatment with you.
Before the Surgery
Before getting your crowns, you might need a cleaning or other prep work on your teeth. Your dentist will also take impressions of your teeth so your new crowns will fit perfectly.
The Operation
Well, it’s not really surgery. Your dentist will prepare your tooth, which might involve shaping it a bit so the crown fits well. Then, they’ll put a temporary crown on until your permanent one is ready. Once it is, they’ll swap the temporary for the new, shiny porcelain crown.
Follow-Up
You’ll likely have a follow-up visit a week or so after to make sure everything is sitting right and you’re feeling good about your new crown.
