What are porcelain veneers in Turkey?

Porcelain veneers are custom-made thin shells that are placed in the front of teeth to improve their look and address such problems as chips, cracks, tooth discoloration, and slight teeth misalignment. These veneers are made from porcelain and are thus long-lasting. They also have a natural appearance when placed on your teeth.

Porcelain Dental  Veneers in Turkey

Porcelain veneers in Antalya are achieved with only minimal preparation. To place the veneers, a thin layer of enamel is removed and polished. They are not as extreme compared to crowns. Impressions of the teeth are then taken and then custom veneers are made to fit the teeth exactly. The process takes 2-3 weeks with two to three dentist visits, depending on your dentist and dental laboratory. The success rate is high and is between 90-95% with minimal porcelain veneer risks.

Turkey has become a very popular destination for porcelain veneer treatment thanks to its modern dental clinics, experienced dentists and affordable prices.

When are porcelain veneers used?

Condition Porcelain veneers used for
Teeth discoloration Stains that cannot be corrected by bleaching
Chips and cracks Minor chips or cracks affecting tooth appearance
Gaps Closing small gaps between teeth for a uniform look
Teeth misalignment Correcting mild misalignments without braces
Wear and tear Restoring worn teeth due to aging or wear
Shape and size issues Fixing uneven or irregularly shaped teeth

Porcelain veneers are a fantastic option for improving a wide range of dental issues. They’re often used for teeth that are discolored and won’t respond to bleaching, making them ideal for those with deep staining. They also help fill spaces between the teeth, apart from other cases where braces are not required.

For those with a minor misalignment, the porcelain veneer makes the teeth look much straighter without requiring an orthodontist. As time passes, the teeth gradually deteriorate, and these veneers recreate their size and hardness of them. When your enamel has been worn out by acids, the veneer offers a shield to your teeth as well as beautifying them. They also work great for fixing size and shape irregularities so that you can have a better set of teeth. The presence of such surface irregularities as ridges or pits can be easily leveled with veneers.

For anyone dreaming of a smile design, and porcelain veneers are a go-to solution, creating that flawless, bright look many people desire. In other words, you can get porcelain veneers for any cosmetic issue, ranging from slight to severe!

Are you a good candidate for porcelain veneers?

Porcelain veneers are a great dental veneer treatment for those who want a dazzling smile. However, not everyone is a suitable candidate for veneers. So, what criteria do those who want to choose this method need to meet in terms of oral and dental health? Here are some important points that will help you understand whether you are a good candidate for porcelain veneers!

  • If you are uncomfortable with the shape, color or alignment of your teeth,
  • If you want aesthetic improvements, especially on your front teeth,
  • If you have permanent stains, especially caused by tea, coffee, smoking or genetic factors,
  • If you have small cracks or fractures on your teeth,
  • If you have a slight crookedness or diastema (tooth gap) problem,
  • If your dental and oral health is generally good,
  • If you do not have a habit of grinding your teeth (bruxism),

If you meet most of the above criteria, porcelain veneers may be a suitable and appropriate solution for you! However, it is important to make a detailed evaluation with your dentist before making a final decision. In this context, if you want to have an impressive and natural smile, you can contact our Antalya dental clinic for porcelain laminates.

Porcelain veneer procedure in Turkey

The procedure for porcelain veneer in Turkey typically involves the following steps:

Consultation and examination

The procedure starts with an examination and consultation where your dentist will learn about your expectations for your smile. Following this, a thorough examination of your oral health is carried out, usually involving X-rays and dental impressions. That way the dentist will evaluate the state of your teeth and how and where the veneers will fit in. It is like a construction plan to remodel a house – before you begin the process, you have to analyze the situation.

Tooth preparation and molds

After the form of treatment has been decided upon, the teeth are prepared for this treatment. Your dentist will remove a thin layer of the tooth enamel to make way for the veneers and shave off a little to ensure the veneers sit well on your teeth. Later, the dentist takes impressions of your teeth to design veneer for you. At this time, interim facings are usually placed to cover the teeth while the final laminates are being fabricated.

Permanent veneers fabrication

Your teeth impressions are taken to a dental laboratory where the porcelain veneers are prepared according to their specifications. The temporary veneer process normally lasts about two to three weeks. These veneers are specifically designed to fit well with your existing dental formula to achieve that real-life look and feel.

Fitting and bonding

They will inform you when the permanent veneers are ready and you will go back to the dentist so that they will be fixed. Your dentist will also assess the tightness and the shade to make sure it is exactly what you want. A cement is used to stick the veneers to your teeth and another light is used to set the cement hence ensuring the veneers are properly fixed into your teeth. The dentist will then adjust your bite to match and shape the veneers and then buff them to a natural luster.

Are porcelain veneers worth it?

Porcelain veneers are often seen as a significant investment in your smile, and many people wonder if they're really worth it. The short answer is: yes, for most people, they are!

Porcelain veneers are quite famous and provide significant improvement to your teeth’ appearance. If you have discoloration that whitening treatments can’t address or fix, minor spaces, tiny fissures, lines, or chipped teeth, veneers are a great option because they produce a very natural-looking result.

They are very long-lasting and also very immune to staining and therefore your coffee or tea drink regime will not fade the brightness on them. But for the people who are determined to keep their teeth clean and would love to enhance their smile permanently then, they are worth every dime.

Do porcelain veneers stain?

No, porcelain veneers resist stain, which is a huge plus if you're someone who enjoys your coffee or other colored foods or drinks! Because they are made from a non-porous material, they don’t absorb the pigments from foods and drinks like natural teeth or composite veneers do. It’s sort of like comparing a glass table to a sponge – porcelain is the glass, nothing sticks to it, while natural teeth are the sponge, and the stain will eventually soak into it.

But sometimes, you may your veneers look slightly yellow than the adjacent teeth, making the teeth seem stained. This is not because the veneers are stained but because your teeth underneath the veneers can yellow with time. Even the bonding material that is used to hold the veneers in place may discolor. This happens if you don't brush well.

Therefore, porcelain veneers maintain a bright and fresh like for several years or as long as they are maintained appropriately. It’s just important to look out for your natural teeth around it to maintain that perfect smile all the time.

How long do porcelain veneers last in Turkey?

The life span of porcelain veneers ranges between 10 to 15 years, but this depends a lot on how well they are cared for. Think of it like maintaining a car: proper usage and proper maintenance keep it going well. Regular brushing and flossing will ensure that the veneer has a good seal with your tooth.

You should not bite on hard objects or use your teeth to open packages or anything. This will cause them to crack or chip. The durability of such restorations depends on the materials that are used and the experience of the dentist. Factors such as smoking and consumption of alcohol also compromise the bond and your overall oral health which might reduce the longevity of the veneers.

Porcelain veneers vs composite veneers

Porcelain veneers and composite veneers are both popular choices for improving the appearance of teeth, but they differ quite a bit in a few key areas: Durability, cost, and appearance.

Dental veneers are long-lasting. They do not show stains easily so your morning coffee, tea, or others will not affect them. They also look very much like real teeth and in some instances, they look even shinier and polished than real teeth. For this reason, they are often the favorite of people who seek a long-term, powerful, functional, and yet elegant solution.

On the other hand, composite veneers are less expensive and less time-consuming. They can be even implemented in a single session, as a rule. They are not as durable and typically can only last 5 to 7 years. They also tend to color over time and therefore do not have a bright appearance as porcelain after several years. Composite veneers are ideal if you are considering the cost or if you want a quicker result.

Therefore, in case you would like to have veneers that not only look very good but also can be long-wearing, then porcelain may be the more suitable choice. However, if you are planning your project on a smaller budget and want it done faster, composite can be ideal for you.

When can I fly after porcelain veneers?

You can usually fly within 24 to 48 hours after getting porcelain veneers, but it’s always a good idea to wait for your dentist’s green light just to make sure everything's healing properly. It helps your gums relax a little, especially if they are tender or if there is a little bleeding during the process. Just think about going on a flight too soon and experiencing cabin pressure – it is going to make any discomfort worse.

It is required that your dentist ensures that the veneer has set properly before you leave. Often it just takes a little tweak and it is far easier to do when you are not on the road somewhere. Therefore, a simple visit to your dentist before traveling just confirms that everything is well and you can travel without any complications!

What to eat after porcelain veneers

It's best to stick to soft foods for the first three days. This such as smoothies, steamed vegetables, and soft fruits. This is good for your teeth and gums because it allows them to get used to the brush without applying a lot of pressure on them. You should not eat or drink anything extremely hot or cold during this time because your teeth are a little tender after the procedure is done.

Curious about coffee, curry, or other colored foods? On those, it is better to wait a little bit I suppose. Your veneers’ bonding material is still curing and you shouldn’t consume dark or colorful foods in the meantime as they may cause staining. It is recommended that after about 5 to 7 days when the sensitivity is worn off, you can then return to your normal diet. But if you really want to keep your veneers looking flawless, it’s worth avoiding foods with intense colors even after that.
