Minor damage affecting your smile aesthetics.
Small spaces or irregularities in alignment.
Teeth that are too small, too short, or have an undesirable shape.
Porcelain veneers, also called laminate veneers, are thin, custom-made shells, typically crafted from porcelain, that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They are designed to improve the appearance of your smile by correcting issues such as discoloration, chips, gaps, and minor misalignments. Veneers offer a durable and highly aesthetic solution for a complete smile makeover.
Porcelain veneers, especially those made of EMAX, are highly resistant to staining and can maintain their natural color and aesthetic appearance for many years.
Among the various types of porcelain veneers, EMAX veneers are a popular choice known for their exceptional strength, durability, and natural translucency. Made from lithium disilicate ceramic, EMAX veneers are incredibly thin yet remarkably strong, allowing for minimal tooth preparation and a highly aesthetic outcome that mimics the natural look of tooth enamel. At our clinic, we choose only the highest-quality materials for every smile. That’s why we use EMAX for our veneers.
Not all teeth are suitable for veneers. If a tooth has extensive decay, large fractures, or deep cracks, a crown may be a more suitable and durable option. Contact us to determine if your teeth are suitable for veneer treatment.
At Maltepe Dental Clinic, we combine artistic vision with advanced dental science to deliver exceptional laminate veneer results. We exclusively use E.max as the material for our veneers. However, material quality alone is not enough to achieve the desired smile.
Teeth intended for veneers must be prepared by skilled dentists, after which the veneers are digitally designed. This technological process is then enhanced by the handcraftsmanship of our ceramists, who apply hundreds of delicate brush strokes to create a natural, aesthetic, and harmonious appearance.
As a result, our experienced cosmetic dentists work closely with our in-house laboratory throughout the smile design process, ensuring that each veneer is perfectly tailored to your facial features and aesthetic goals. Most importantly, our dentists and in-house laboratory have successfully followed this same process to create 14,000+ smiles for patients from 85+ countries.

Veneer treatment is not a simple procedure-it requires careful planning and precise execution. Based on our experience with patients who come to us to correct veneers done elsewhere, here are some important points to consider:
We frequently redo veneers done by other clinics in Europe, Turkey, or the USA, as patients often come to us with aesthetic or functional concerns. Ultimately, all our patients leave satisfied with their new smiles.
Common Questions About Laminate Veneers
Porcelain veneers create a new cosmetic surface over the front of the tooth. After a very thin layer of enamel (around 0.2-0.7 mm) is reshaped, custom-made ceramic shells are bonded with high-strength dental adhesive, forming a durable, stain-resistant outer layer that looks and feels like natural enamel.
Porcelain veneers generally range from approximately €250 to €500 per tooth in Turkey, depending on the clinic’s level of experience, the materials used (such as E-max or other premium porcelains), and whether you are treating a small number of teeth or planning a full smile makeover.
Even when high-end materials, advanced digital smile design, and highly skilled laboratory work are involved, total treatment costs are typically significantly lower than in the UK, EU, or USA. This is one of the main reasons international patients choose Turkey for cosmetic dentistry.
At Maltepe Dental Clinic, porcelain veneers are one of our core areas of expertise, performed in line with our minimal invasive dentistry standards.

The porcelain veneer procedure usually includes:
Consultation and digital smile design
Minimal tooth preparation under local anesthesia
Digital or conventional impressions
Fabrication of your custom porcelain veneers in the lab
Try-in and final bonding
For international patients in Turkey, a full porcelain veneer smile makeover typically takes about 5–7 days and 2–3 clinical visits, depending on the number of teeth treated.
Most porcelain veneer cases are completed in 2–3 visits:
With our in-house laboratory and digital workflow, we can complete full smile makeovers within one week.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, porcelain veneers typically last around 10-15 years, and many cases reach 15-20 years. Longevity depends on factors such as bite forces, teeth grinding (bruxism), diet, and how well you follow your dentist’s care instructions.
Porcelain veneers are considered a minimally invasive cosmetic option. In most cases, only about 0.2-0.7 mm of enamel is removed from the front of the tooth to create space for the veneer and ensure a natural look. This is significantly less reduction than is required for a full dental crown, and the underlying tooth structure remains largely preserved.
You may qualify for porcelain veneers if your teeth are healthy and well-aligned. However, if you grind your teeth, veneers may not be ideal – in such cases, full veneers or zirconium crowns are recommended. Veneers are applied only to the front 10 upper and lower teeth, while back teeth are better protected with zirconium crowns for strength and durability.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel pain during tooth preparation. Afterwards, some patients notice mild sensitivity to hot and cold or a short adjustment period as their bite settles, but most people return to normal speaking and eating the same day.
Porcelain veneers cover only the front surface of the tooth, are highly aesthetic and stain-resistant, and usually last 10-15+ years.
Composite veneers are built up directly with resin, cost less initially, but typically last 4-8 years and may stain more easily.
Dental crowns cover the entire tooth and are used when the tooth is heavily damaged, after large fillings or root canal treatment.
Porcelain veneers sit between bonding and crowns: more durable and aesthetic than composite bonding, but more conservative than full crowns.
Porcelain veneers are a general term for thin shells bonded to teeth. EMAX veneer refers to a specific material brand made from highly durable and aesthetic ceramic (lithium disilicate).
Care for porcelain veneers just like natural teeth:
Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
Floss or use interdental brushes around each veneer
Attend professional cleanings and check-ups at least once or twice a year
To protect your veneers, avoid nail-biting, chewing ice or very hard objects, and opening packages with your teeth. If needed, address teeth grinding with a night guard. Limiting coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking also helps preserve the brightness of your smile.
Right after placement, your teeth may feel slightly different in thickness or length, and you might notice minimal temperature sensitivity. Most patients adapt within a few days, and everyday activities such as smiling, speaking, and eating feel completely natural once your bite and muscles adjust.
Yes. If a veneer chips, cracks, or the edges age over time, it can often be re-polished, repaired, or replaced without affecting neighboring teeth. Because some enamel has been removed, you will always need a veneer (or other restoration) on that tooth in the future, but updates can be done with new porcelain veneers to refresh the aesthetics when needed.
Since porcelain veneers are primarily a cosmetic treatment, they are rarely covered by standard dental insurance. However, we accept major credit/debit cards, bank transfers, and cash in multiple currencies.
Yes, we provide a 3-year guarantee for all porcelain veneers. Please review our guarantee policy for details. Keep in mind, the lifespan of E.max® veneers often extends well beyond the guarantee period.
Yes. With non-prep veneers, it is possible to get veneers without filing or shaving your teeth. Please contact our patient coordinator to determine whether your teeth are suitable for non-prep veneers.
If non-prep veneers are not an option, there’s no need to worry-traditional veneers usually require only minimal enamel removal to ensure a precise fit and a natural-looking result.
Yes, veneers can be removed by a dentist, but they usually need to be replaced with new ones. Since a thin layer of enamel is filed during the initial procedure, returning to your original tooth condition is not possible.
It usually takes about two weeks for your gums to fully heal and adjust after veneer placement. During this time, mild sensitivity or tenderness is normal and will gradually subside.
Yes, you can! We offer a wide range of porcelain veneer shades – from bright snow white to natural tones. Our ceramists can fine-tune your preferred color, and we use E.max® veneers for their exceptional strength and lifelike, natural appearance.
No, veneers do not cause bad breath. However, poor oral hygiene or gum issues around the veneers can lead to odor. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups will keep your breath fresh.
Zirconium is used for crown restorations, not for veneers. E.max is one of the most durable and aesthetic materials used specifically for laminate veneers.
These are two different treatment methods designed for different clinical situations. If your teeth are suitable for veneers, we always recommend veneers, and based on our experience, they are extremely durable when properly designed and bonded using the correct adhesive systems.
A veneer is bonded to the front surface of the tooth and becomes an integral part of it. In contrast, a zirconium crown is a less conservative treatment, requiring the tooth to be shaved all around and bonded using a different technique.
Technically, yes – but based on our experience, this is extremely rare. Compared to crown cases, veneers may chip in rare situations, but they do not fall off easily when correctly planned, bonded, and maintained.
