Dental Veneers in Side, Antalya

Are veneers right for your teeth?

Veneers change the colour, shape and small alignment problems of teeth that are basically healthy. They are the wrong answer for teeth that are heavily filled or broken down, where a crown protects better; for gum disease that has not been treated; and for crowding that orthodontics would correct without removing any enamel. Your photos tell us which group you are in and the examination confirms it. Our comparison of veneers, crowns and bonding shows how much tooth each one removes.

How many veneers do you need?

Count the teeth that show when you smile broadly. Veneering fewer teeth than show can leave a visible step in colour; veneering more than show removes enamel without adding anything you can see. Your plan names each tooth. Our guide to how many veneers you need walks through 4, 6, 8 and 10.

Your week, step by step

• First appointment: examination, photos, shade selection and the digital smile design. You see the proposed shape before any tooth is prepared.
• Preparation: 0.3‑0.5 mm of enamel is shaped under local anaesthesia, a scan or impressions are taken and temporaries are fitted the same day.
• Laboratory days: the veneers are made while you enjoy Side.
• Fitting: try-in, fine adjustments and bonding, with a check before your flight. The whole visit takes 5‑7 days.

Living with temporaries

Between preparation and fitting you wear temporary veneers, so you are never seen without teeth. They are held lightly on purpose: avoid biting hard foods with the front teeth and skip sticky sweets until the final veneers are in. Our guide to temporary teeth during treatment covers the details.

E-max or zirconia?

For front teeth of normal colour, glass-ceramic (E-max) gives the most natural translucency. Zirconia is chosen where strength matters more, for heavy grinders or for dark teeth that need masking. Our guide to E-max or zirconia explains the trade-off tooth by tooth.

Making them last

Porcelain veneers typically last 10‑15 years with good care. Brush and floss as normal, do not use your front teeth as tools, and wear a night guard if you grind, because grinding is a common cause of chipped veneers. The written 5-year guarantee covers the veneers, and you leave with a record of the material and shade so any dentist can match or repair them later.
