This all-inclusive price generally covers your initial consultation, digital smile design, the fabrication and placement of premium veneers, any necessary pre-operative dental care (like cleaning), follow-up appointments, luxury hotel accommodation, and all VIP airport and clinic transfers during your stay in Istanbul.

Dental Veneers in Turkey in a Nutshell
What are Dental Veneers?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells, typically crafted from porcelain or composite resin, designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are bonded directly to the tooth surface.
Veneers can effectively change a tooth's color, shape, size, or length, correcting imperfections like stains, chips, gaps, or minor misalignment. They provide a way to achieve a brighter, more uniform, and aesthetically pleasing smile with long-lasting, natural-looking results.
Types of Teeth Veneers in Turkey
Veneers can correct many dental issues, such as discolored, chipped, or misaligned teeth. A careful dental analysis at Aesthetics Plus Clinic is required to select the best type according to your needs, ensuring they naturally adapt to your mouth's geography and your aesthetic goals.
1. Composite Veneers
Made from a tooth-colored resin (plastic) material that can often be shaped and bonded directly onto teeth in a single visit. They are the most affordable option.
Lifespan: Typically 2-5 years.
Ideal for: Patients on a tighter budget wanting a quick aesthetic fix for minor issues.
Less Suitable for: Patients seeking the most durable, stain-resistant, or long-term results.
2. Lumineers (Ultra-Thin Porcelain)
A specific brand of ultra-thin porcelain veneers, often marketed as "no-prep" because they sometimes require little to no removal of natural tooth enamel. Almost transparent.
Lifespan: Can last many years with good care.
Ideal for: Patients with minor discoloration or gaps who want minimal tooth alteration.
Less Suitable for: Covering severe stains or significant shape changes; may appear bulkier if no prep is done.
3. Emax Porcelain Veneers
Made from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, known for its excellent blend of strength, durability, and superior translucency, mimicking natural tooth enamel very closely.
Lifespan: 10-15+ years with proper care.
Ideal for: Front teeth where aesthetics are paramount; considered the gold standard by many for natural results.
Consideration: Usually requires minimal tooth preparation.
4. Zirconium Veneers
Made from zirconium dioxide, an extremely strong ceramic material ("ceramic steel"). Offers excellent resilience and can mask underlying tooth discoloration well.
Lifespan: 10-15+ years, very durable.
Ideal for: Patients needing maximum strength or wanting to cover very dark teeth.
Consideration: Can be less translucent than Emax, sometimes layered with porcelain for better aesthetics.
5. Traditional Porcelain Veneers
The classic choice, typically made from feldspathic porcelain. Offer good aesthetics and have a long track record. Can be layered for highly customized results.
Lifespan: 10-15 years typically.
Ideal for: General cosmetic improvements, popular choice.
Consideration: May be less strong than Emax or Zirconium.
Do You Need Teeth Veneers?
Ideal Candidates Typically Include:
- Patients with severely stained or discolored teeth (resistant to whitening).
- Patients with good oral hygiene and generally healthy gums.
- Patients with minor cosmetic imperfections like chips, small gaps, slightly worn or misshapen teeth.
Veneers May Be Unsuitable For:
- Patients with significantly crooked teeth or major bite issues (orthodontics may be needed first).
- Patients who grind or clench their teeth heavily (bruxism) without protection (night guard).
- Patients lacking sufficient healthy tooth enamel for bonding.
- Patients with extensive decay or active gum disease (these must be treated first).
What Type of Veneer is Best?
This is a very popular question and impossible to answer definitively without a prior consultation at Aesthetics Plus Clinic. For example, patients with underlying issues like decay might not be suitable for minimally invasive options like Lumineers. If maximum aesthetics are the priority for front teeth, Emax is often preferred. If strength is crucial or masking dark stains is needed, Zirconium might be recommended. Your budget, desired longevity, and specific dental situation all play a role in determining the "best" veneer type for you.
What is Best: Veneers or Dental Crowns?
The choice between veneers and crowns depends on the condition of the tooth and the desired outcome:
- Veneers are primarily cosmetic. They cover only the front surface of the tooth and require minimal enamel removal. They are ideal for improving the appearance of relatively healthy teeth with issues like staining, small chips, gaps, or minor shape irregularities.
- Dental Crowns cover the entire tooth (like a cap). They require more significant tooth preparation (removal of enamel) but provide structural support. Crowns are recommended for teeth that are severely damaged, decayed, fractured, have undergone root canal treatment, or require major shape/alignment changes.
Essentially, veneers are for aesthetic enhancement, while crowns are for both aesthetic improvement and functional restoration of compromised teeth.
The 4 Stages of the Veneer Procedure
1. The Initial Consultation & Planning
This often begins with an online consultation where you share photos and X-rays. We discuss your goals, examine your medical history, and choose the best veneer type. A preliminary treatment plan, including digital smile design mock-ups, is prepared.
2. The First Appointment (Preparation)
During your first visit to Aesthetics Plus Clinic, your dentist performs a thorough examination. A thin layer of enamel (usually about 0.5mm) is gently removed from the front surface of the teeth receiving veneers to make space. Impressions or digital scans are taken, and this data is sent to our dental lab to fabricate your custom veneers. Temporary veneers are placed to protect your teeth.
3. The Second Appointment (Try-in & Adjustments)
A few days later, your permanent veneers are ready from the lab. The temporary ones are removed, and the dentist places the final veneers on your teeth (without permanent bonding) for a try-in. This is crucial to check the fit, shape, and color, allowing for minor adjustments based on your feedback. If significant changes are needed, they might be sent back to the lab.
4. The Third Appointment (Bonding)
Once you and your dentist are completely satisfied with the appearance and fit, the veneers are permanently bonded. Your teeth are cleaned, etched (roughened slightly), and a special adhesive cement is applied. The veneer is carefully positioned, and a high-intensity light cures the cement, creating a strong, durable bond. Excess cement is removed, and your bite is checked.
Why Get Teeth Veneers in Turkey?
It's no secret that the primary reason for Turkey's attraction for dental treatments is the significantly more affordable Turkey teeth veneers price, allowing patients to save up to 70% (often including travel and accommodation) compared to costs in their home countries. However, affordable costs alone don't explain Istanbul’s huge appeal as a top medical destination.
In the last decade, modern dental facilities equipped with the latest technology have flourished throughout Istanbul. This growth has been accompanied by exceptional improvements in dental education and specialization to meet the ever-rising international demand. Other compelling reasons include:
- Highly experienced dentists performing thousands of successful veneer cases annually.
- Access to premium materials (Emax, Zirconium, etc.) from reputable international brands.
- Strong competition within the industry ensures a constant drive for excellence and patient satisfaction.
- Opportunity to combine world-class dental care with tourism in a vibrant, culturally rich Mediterranean location.
- All-inclusive packages offered by clinics like Aesthetics Plus Clinic simplify the entire process.
All in all, you can receive an impeccable dental transformation with veneers and return home after enjoying a refreshing and memorable holiday!
Dental Veneers FAQ
Dental Veneers at Aesthetics Plus Clinic boast a very high success rate, attributed to our skilled cosmetic dentists, use of premium materials, and meticulous personalized care throughout the process.
The Dental Veneers procedure typically requires two main clinical visits after the initial consultation. The first visit (preparation and temporaries) might take a few hours. The second visit (bonding) also takes a couple of hours. Including lab fabrication time, the entire process usually spans 5-7 days of your stay in Turkey.
Dental Veneers placement involves minimal discomfort. The tooth preparation phase is done under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain. Some temporary sensitivity to hot or cold after preparation or final placement is possible but is typically mild and subsides quickly.
High-quality porcelain veneers (like Emax or Zirconium) offer long-lasting results, often lasting 10-15 years or even longer with proper care, good oral hygiene, and regular dental check-ups. Composite veneers have a shorter lifespan, typically 2-5 years.
Dental Veneers are considered a safe procedure. Potential risks are minimal but can include temporary tooth sensitivity, potential need for replacement over time, and, rarely, debonding or chipping (often preventable with care). These will be discussed during your consultation at Aesthetics Plus Clinic.
Yes, normal eating can usually resume shortly after Dental Veneers placement once the anesthesia wears off. However, it's wise to avoid biting directly into very hard foods (like ice or hard candy) or using teeth as tools to prevent potential damage to the veneers.
Care for Dental Veneers is similar to caring for natural teeth: maintain regular brushing (twice daily with non-abrasive toothpaste), flossing daily, and attending routine dental check-ups and cleanings every six months to maintain their appearance, longevity, and overall oral health.
Absolutely. Dental Veneers are custom-made and can be meticulously matched to the color, shade, and translucency of your adjacent natural teeth for a seamless, beautiful, and natural-looking appearance. You'll work with your dentist at Aesthetics Plus Clinic to select the perfect shade.
Dental Veneers are a versatile cosmetic solution, but suitability depends on factors like tooth health, enamel quantity, bite alignment, and oral habits. A thorough consultation and examination at Aesthetics Plus Clinic are required to determine if veneers are the best option for you.
