Dental Veneers in Turkey / Istanbul

A dental veneer is a thin and custom-made covering to conceal imperfections on the outer teeth. They are available in two main materials, porcelain and composite resin. They are meant to cover the front surface of teeth and aesthetically enhance one’s smile.

Dental veneers provide a long-lasting cosmetic solution to patients and with proper care, they can last for many years. It is important to keep in mind that while veneers can improve the appearance of teeth, they do not solve any underlying dental issues. It’s crucial to maintain good oral health for your veneers to function normally.

According to Grand View Research, the total value of the global dental veneers industry was estimated at $2.1 billion in 2021. This industry is expected to expand by 8.3% in the upcoming years.

The factors that affect the dental veneers industry include the growing prevalence of dental diseases, emerging demand for dental tourism, and global cosmetic trends. 

As per WHO’s Global Oral Health Status Report (2022), around 3.5 billion people suffer from oral diseases and three out of 4 of these people are from middle-income nations. Turkey is known for its advanced dental tourism industry with over 66% market share in the Middle East and African region. Over 2 million foreigners visit Turkey every year for medical procedures, including dental treatments.

The processes of getting porcelain veneers typically involves several steps. Initially, a consultation with a cosmetic dentist is necessary to determine if veneers are the right option. Next, a small amount of enamel is gently removed from the teeth to create space for the veneers. Impressions of the teeth are taken and sent to a dental laboratory for the fabrication of custom veneers. Once ready, the veneers are bonded to the teeth using a strong dental adhesive, resulting in a transformed smile.

Dental veneers are thin sheets or coverings attached to the outer teeth to enhance your smile. The purpose of a dental veneer is to renew and improve the exterior of your front teeth. It is also known as a smile transformation procedure because it transforms the aesthetics of your smile. You can get as many veneers as you want but the recommended numbers are 4, 6, and 8. Dental veneers are typically made of porcelain or composite resin. Porcelain dental veneers are known for providing better and more accurate results, hence a bigger smile transformation.

Dental veneers are available in two major materials: porcelain veneers and composite resin veneers. Each material has its characteristics, pros and cons, and considerations:

Porcelain Veneers:

Porcelain veneers are the most common in the dental industry and are made of ceramic material that resembles natural teeth. Porcelain veneers provide realistic and natural results because of their translucent appearance. Porcelain is stain-resistant and is a great fit for those looking for long-lasting aesthetic improvements. Porcelain veneers are generally more durable and stronger than composite resin veneers.

Composite Resin Veneers:

Composite resin veneers are made of plastic and fine glass particles designed to mimic natural tooth enamel. While composite resin veneers can mimic natural enamel, they do not provide the same translucency as porcelain veneers. However, technical developments have led to aesthetic improvements.

Composite resin veneers are more prone to staining compared to porcelain and require more maintenance. Although not as durable as porcelain, composite resin veneers can last for years with proper care. Unlike porcelain veneers, composite veneers do not need weeks for fabrication and can be attached to the teeth the same day.

How do dental veneers work?

Dental veneers work by covering the front surface of the teeth with thin, custom-made shells or coverings. The processes involves multiple steps:

Doctor’s consultation

This is the first step in your dental veneers journey. The initial meeting with your doctor gives you perspective on the type of veneers that will suit you and your smile.

The doctor discusses the steps of the procedure, the possible risks and complications, and other relevant details about the procedure.

Preparing the teeth for veneers

After the consultation, your doctor calls you to prepare your teeth for veneers.

A small amount of enamel is usually removed from the teeth’s front surface to make space for veneers. In certain cases, little to no enamel removal is necessary.

Impressions of your teeth

After preparing the teeth for veneers, dentists take impressions with a special putty material. These impressions are used to fabricate veneers that fit precisely over the treated teeth.

Temporary veneers (if required)

Dentists place temporary veneers for temporary protection of the teeth. Meanwhile, the permanent ones are sent to the dental lab. It takes 1-2 weeks for the veneers to be ready for placement.

Veneer placement

Once the custom veneers are ready, the dentist sets up an appointment to place your veneers. If there are any problems with the fit, adjustments can be made.

The dentist then makes final adjustments to ensure that the veneers feel comfortable and there is no under/overbite. It may involve polishing or reshaping the veneer until it fits perfectly.
