Dental Veneers (For Shape, Colour, and Symmetry) in Turkey
What are veneers?
Veneers are thin, strong shells that bond to the front surface of teeth to change how they look and feel.
They can make a smile appear whiter, straighter, and more even while keeping most of your natural tooth in place.
Common materials are lithium disilicate (e.max) for high aesthetics and aesthetic zirconia for strength with modern translucency. Composite veneers (built directly with tooth-coloured resin) can be an option too, but porcelain veneers (e.max/zirconia) usually offer better longevity and stain resistance.
Best for: Improving colour, shape, minor alignment, small chips, and gaps in front teeth
Duration: Prep visit 60–120 minutes; lab time 5 - 6 days; fit visit 45–90 minutes
Problems Veneers Can Help With
Persistent discolouration that whitening does not fix
Worn edges, small chips, and uneven shapes
Mild crowding or small gaps (diastemas)
Teeth that are slightly rotated or short
Desire for a more even and brighter smile
Veneers change the front surface only; they do not replace missing teeth or fix severe bite issues. We’ll tell you if another treatment is safer or more suitable.
Minimal-prep where possible
We aim to preserve tooth tissue. In many cases we use minimal-prep designs that remove very little enamel. No-prep veneers are possible in select cases (e.g., to build out very small teeth), but not always safe if teeth are already prominent. We’ll explain the safest route for your smile.
Your Veneer Journey in 7 Steps
A clear guide to transforming your smile. From initial design to the final reveal.
Consultation & Design
Photos, shade checks, and a 3D scan if helpful. We discuss goals and materials in plain English. For larger makeovers, we can do a digital or wax mock-up so you can preview the look.
Planning & Consent
You receive a clear written plan with timelines, costs, and named materials. We confirm exactly how many teeth are in the smile zone and agree on a precise shade/shape brief.
Preparation
Teeth are made numb if needed. We do conservative shaping of the enamel to create room for the veneer and smooth margins for bonding. In some cases, no-prep is used.
Impressions & Temporaries
We take a precise mould or digital scan and fit temporary veneers that protect teeth and preview length/shape. We can tweak these to guide your final design.
Lab-Made Veneers
The lab crafts your veneers in e.max or aesthetic zirconia, matching shade and translucency to look natural under different lights.
Fit & Bonding
We remove the temporaries, try-in the veneers, and check fit, edges, and colour under natural light. Then we bond them with modern adhesive cements and polish.
Review & Maintenance
We check your bite, give cleaning advice, and book follow-ups. If you grind or clench, a night guard helps protect your veneers.

Materials at a Glance
- Chipping: Veneers are strong but not unbreakable. Do not bite ice, pens, or hard candy.
- Irreversibility: Because we remove a thin layer of enamel, you will always need veneers or crowns on those teeth.
- Colour Match: Veneers do not whiten. We usually recommend whitening your natural teeth before getting veneers to match the brighter shade.

Your Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers
Will veneers look fake or too white?
No, not if planned well. We match shade and translucency to your skin tone and natural teeth for a lifelike result.
Do veneers damage my teeth?
We use minimal-prep designs where possible to preserve enamel. Some shaping is common and is not fully reversible, so we plan carefully.
Can I whiten my teeth after veneers?
Porcelain does not whiten. If you plan to whiten, do it before shade selection so veneers and natural teeth match.
How many veneers do I need?
It depends on your smile line. Some people choose 2–4, others 6–10 or full smile. We’ll show you options with photos and mock-ups.
Do veneers fix crooked teeth?
They can mask mild crowding, but orthodontics is better for moderate or severe alignment issues. We’ll advise honestly.
What if I grind my teeth?
Tell us. We choose stronger materials and recommend a night guard to protect your veneers and natural teeth.
How long do veneers last?
With good care, porcelain veneers often last 10+ years. Composite may need earlier refresh or polish.
Will my gums be sore?
Possibly mild tenderness for a day or two after prep/fit. This settles quickly with normal care.
Can a veneer come off?
It’s uncommon. If it happens, keep it safe and contact us—we can usually re-bond it if intact.
What if I only want to fix one dark tooth?
A single veneer or a crown (if the tooth is weak) can work. We’ll match shade and shape carefully.
