Seda Serger did one for my husband in 2 days. Prep work at 9 o'clock on day one, first fitting 4pm same day, second fitting next morning and finished job that afternoon. Guess it probably depends on how busy she is , ditto her technicians. First class job anyway.

Thanks Pugwash and nostradamus, My friend is coming over from Britain to have this done and I believe she is having quite a few done... So from impressions and prep work to end result it should be less than 2 weeks!!! Will she have temp crowns between fittings?

I didn't. Dentist just smiled when I asked him. Only took 5 days though.

Seda is very quick (and professional) but would suggest that you speak to her about the work that your friend needs doing before she arrives. That way, the appointments could be scheduled to fit in with the available time. In answer to your other question, yes she does do temporary crowns.

Seda replaced my crowns about a year ago, I had 5 appointments in total (8 crowns) and she did lots of impressions so that they were perfect as she was replacing badly fitting ones ( by another dentist) I always had temporary crowns whilst the treatment was going on and the crowns are excellent and very natural looking. Can highly recommend her but as the previous post states see her and discuss the amount of appointments needed if your friend is only here for a limited time.

You can have temporary if you wish or for comfort.

Last year they were 450tl each for the ones with metal inside ( white on outside!!) and 700tl each for the porcelain ones which I had. That included all appointments,temp. crowns etc.

carian mine seemed to be less than that, I had a root canal, implant, temporary crown then fitted crown and think it was 400Tl all in as I remember, about 8 months ago.

It depends on the quality, I originally paid a dentist £1050 for the 8 crowns but had to have them all replaced 16 months later by Seda as they were badly fitting and my gums were infected and bleeding. I had the more expensive ones but they may have come down in price. I didn't have any root canal treatment just had all my teeth 'filed' away and crowns placed over them.
