About the clinic
Zirconia crown installation at Dr. Birkan Duras Clinic in Istanbul, Turkey, provides a durable solution for restoring damaged or discolored teeth. This procedure uses metal-free zirconium dioxide, known for being the most chewing-resistant material available in modern dentistry. Patients choose this clinic for its specialized prosthodontics expertise and its location in the Nişantaşı district.
Expertise in Prosthodontics
Dr. Birkan Duras leads the clinic as a specialist in prosthodontics and aesthetic dentistry. He holds a doctorate in prosthetic dentistry and participates in ongoing scientific studies at Istanbul University. Dr. Birkan Duras is an active member of the Aesthetic Dentists Academy Association and the Turkish Prosthodontics and Implantology Association. The clinic also holds an International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish Ministry of Health.
Benefits of Zirconia Crowns
Zirconia restorations offer several advantages over traditional metal-supported porcelain. These white ceramic crowns do not yellow over time and stay strong for up to 20 years with proper care. Key properties include:
- Biocompatibility: The material is friendly to gum tissue and safe for patients with metal allergies.
- High Strength: Zirconia is stronger than natural teeth and resists the pressure of heavy chewing.
- Durability: This method is a reliable option for patients with bruxism, also known as teeth clenching.
- Natural Look: White zirconium dioxide replaces grey metal bases for a more lifelike appearance.
The Treatment Process
The clinic follows a digital workflow to make the process faster and more comfortable. This begins with a digital smile design based on patient expectations. Some patients may use a mock-up to preview their results with temporary materials before the final placement. The treatment involves these steps:
- Digital Scanning: Intraoral scanners capture tooth impressions in seconds, avoiding the gagging reflex caused by traditional molds.
- Preparation: The dentist prepares the tooth and chooses the perfect shade to match the gums.
- Production: Zirconia restorations are produced in a laboratory within a few days.
- Placement: After a shade check and rehearsal, the dentist attaches the crown using special adhesives.
Patient Experience and Aftercare
Most patients report that the procedure is hardly painful, and many do not require painkillers afterward. Zirconia crowns require the same maintenance as natural teeth. Patients should brush and clean between teeth at least twice a day and schedule routine tartar scaling. Those who grind their teeth should use a night guard to protect the restoration. You can request a consultation through Bookimed to start your smile transformation.

DR. BİRKAN DURAS CLINIC: more details about the clinic
Dr. Birkan Duras Clinic is a private dental practice in Istanbul's Nişantaşı neighborhood. The facility focuses on aesthetic and prosthetic dentistry. Dr. Birkan Duras leads the team with specialized training in prosthodontics and smile design.
Accreditations and Professional Standings
The clinic holds the International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate from the Turkish Ministry of Health (ST-6397). Dr. Birkan Duras maintains active memberships in several professional organizations:
- Aesthetic Dentistry Academy Association (EDAD)
- Turkish Prosthodontics and Implantology Association (TPİD)

Dr. Duras earned his doctorate in Prosthetic Dentistry, researching color changes in glass ceramic materials. He continues scientific studies at Istanbul University to refine clinical protocols.
Aesthetic and Prosthetic Dentistry
The clinic specializes in Smile Design with techniques that preserve natural tooth structure. A signature approach is no-prep veneers, which require no tooth shaving. These ultra-thin E-max veneers are about 0.3 mm thick, so aesthetic changes need no invasive preparation.
The dental team provides a variety of restorative options:
- Laminate veneers and natural laminate veneers
- Zirconia veneers for high-strength restorations
- Composite bonding applications
- Invisalign treatment using digitally planned, transparent aligners
- Teeth whitening procedures
For patients needing full-arch restoration, the clinic offers implant-supported prosthetics. All-on-4 and All-on-6 concepts replace entire rows of teeth using a fixed bridge attached to dental implants.
Advanced Gum Treatments
The practice integrates "pink aesthetics" so the gum line complements dental restorations. Specialists use laser gum treatment for contouring and lifting gingival tissue. This approach is often painless and frequently performed without anesthesia.
Laser technology also treats periodontal infections and deep pockets. The laser targets inflamed areas to disinfect tissue and speed healing compared to traditional surgery. Most patients return to daily routines the same day. Full recovery takes just a few days.
Pediatric Dental Care
The clinic offers pedodontics for children aged 0 to 13 years. This service protects both milk teeth and permanent teeth from early decay or hereditary issues. Specialists manage problems from caries and trauma to ensure healthy dental development.
International Patient Support
The clinic has a dedicated service flow for overseas visitors. A team of six doctors offers consultations in English, Russian, Arabic, and German. Available amenities include:
- Free online consultations for initial treatment planning
- VIP services for logistical support
- Digital appointment scheduling
Patients receive visual explanations of procedures before arrival to understand the expected timeline. The clinic uses digital planning tools for Invisalign and smile design, ensuring accuracy for patients traveling from abroad.
