Before You Travel
Do I need a consultation before travelling to Istanbul?
Yes. Send front and side smile photos plus photos of your upper teeth, lower teeth and bite (teeth closed), and any X-rays you have on WhatsApp. You receive a preliminary plan with the treatment options and the number of days needed before you book flights.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul for veneers?
Veneers and crowns need at least two visits a few days apart: one for preparation and scans, one for the final fitting. Your written plan states the exact number of days.
How many veneers do I need?
It depends on how many teeth show when you smile. Many people show 8 to 10 teeth per jaw, so a full makeover is often 16 to 20 units, but some patients need far fewer.
The Treatment
Do veneers hurt?
Tooth preparation is done under local anaesthesia. Some patients feel mild sensitivity to cold for a few days afterwards, which usually settles on its own.
Will my teeth be shaved down?
Veneers need only a thin layer of enamel to be reshaped on the front of the tooth. Crowns need much more preparation, so they should be used only on teeth that really need them.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
A veneer covers the front surface of a healthy tooth. A crown covers the whole tooth and is used when a tooth is broken, heavily filled, root-canal treated or very dark.
Are E-max veneers better than zirconia?
E-max is more translucent and suits healthy front teeth. Zirconia is stronger and suits weak, dark or back teeth. Many smiles combine both.
Results and Shade
Can I choose how white my veneers are?
Yes. You choose the shade with the dentist against your skin tone. Natural shades and brighter Hollywood shades are both possible.
Can veneers fix crooked teeth?
Veneers can visually correct mild crowding, small gaps and slightly rotated teeth. Major crowding or bite problems are better treated with orthodontics first.
Is It Right for You?
Can I get veneers if I grind my teeth?
Often yes, but you will need a night guard to protect the veneers or crowns, and zirconia may be recommended for teeth under heavy load.
Can I get veneers if I have gum disease or cavities?
Gum disease and active decay must be treated first. Veneers placed on unhealthy teeth or gums are more likely to fail.
Lifespan and Aftercare
How long do veneers last?
High-quality ceramic veneers and zirconia crowns commonly last 10 to 15 years or longer with good hygiene, regular check-ups and a night guard if you grind.
How do I look after my veneers?
Brush twice a day with a non-abrasive toothpaste, clean between the teeth daily, see a dentist every 6 to 12 months and avoid biting very hard objects such as ice or nutshells.
After You Go Home
What happens if a veneer breaks after I go home?
Contact us on WhatsApp with photos. We will advise you on the next steps; a broken veneer can usually be repaired or replaced.
Safety
Is it safe to get veneers in Turkey?
Yes, when you choose carefully. Ask whether each tooth gets a veneer or a crown and why, insist on X-rays and a digital plan, and know who your treating dentist is.
Cost
How much do veneers cost in Istanbul?
The total depends on the number of teeth, the materials and any treatment needed first. Send your 5 dental photos (front, side, upper teeth, lower teeth and bite) and any X-rays you have on WhatsApp for a written plan with the total price.
Still have a question? Send it to us on WhatsApp together with your 5 dental photos (front, side, upper teeth, lower teeth and bite) and we will answer personally.
