Dental Veneers
If you are looking for a cosmetic dentistry treatment to whiten, straighten or reshape your teeth, natural-looking dental veneers (teeth veneers) may be the right option for you. With dental veneers, you can have a beautiful new smile. They improve your appearance by changing the color, shape, size or length of the teeth. Dental veneers can be made of porcelain or composite resin materials.Porcelain veneers are more stain-resistant than composite resin veneers. The best choice about the material must be decided by your dentist based on the specific relevant factors.

Therefore, this treatment must be conducted by competent dentists. Dr. ILHAN will be pleased to provide you with all the necessary guidelines and information such as the cost of veneers, how they are applied to teeth. So that, he helps you choose the most appropriate treatment for you by considering all relevant factors.

The most common material used in dental veneers is porcelain. It can be made by a dental technician in a laboratory and is bonded to the patient’s teeth by the dentist.When is Dental Veneer Needed?

At our clinic in Turkey we use the digital CEREC-technology, which is approved all over the world. Thus we can achieve maximal aesthetics and work accurately.- Step #1: The first step involves consultation, diagnosis and treatment planning. Based on the desires of the patient and the examination of the dentist, the treatment plan is decided. The dentist decides if the dental veneers are the right choice for the patient.
- Step #2: At the beginning of the treatment, a small amount of the outer enamel surface is removed in order to permit placement of the veneer. The amount of the removed surface is equal to the thickness of the veneer to be placed.
- Step #3: When the tooth is prepared, a model or impression of the tooth is made. This model is sent to the dental laboratory and dental veneers are constructed based on the model.
- Step #4: Before bonding the dental veneer permanently, the dentist places it on the tooth temporarily to check if it fits and its color is OK. The color of the veneer can be adjusted with the shade of cement. The color of the surrounding teeth can be matched and thus the veneer looks completely natural.
- Step #5: Once the proper fit and color are achieved, the veneer is bonded to the tooth with a special cement.
