Veneers, also known as porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns, are a popular cosmetic dentistry treatment option. At Cayra Clinic, we offer affordable prices for dental veneers, utilizing various techniques to restore teeth lost due to trauma, decay, or aesthetic reasons. When a filling is insufficient to correct the tooth structure loss caused by these factors, dental veneers can help by altering the appearance of teeth, replacing missing teeth, or covering teeth to maintain space. Our experienced dentists use high-quality materials and state-of-the-art techniques to provide patients with natural-looking and long-lasting results. If you are interested in dental veneers in Turkey, contact Cayra Clinic to schedule a consultation with our dental specialists.
Veneers are a unique treatment method developed to preserve the functionality of damaged or diseased teeth. They are used in restorative dentistry to repair chipped or damaged teeth. Numerous different types exist, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. In short, they are artificial crowns shaped like teeth.
It is applied to a specific tooth to reconstruct its size, shape, and appearance and enhance its functionality, or as a bridge of teeth adjacent to the missing area to correct tooth loss. Once bonded, the veneer completely covers the visible part of the tooth, looking like a natural tooth. The ideal lifespan is between 5 and 10 years.
Good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups can extend life expectancy. Certain diseases, such as amelogenesis imperfecta and dentinogenesis imperfecta, or chronic conditions like fluorosis, weaken tooth enamel and dentin. In such cases, veneers can be applied. Your dentist at the Cayra Clinic will first examine the teeth that require veneers.
The procedure for the operations to be performed is determined according to the current indication, which arises from the examination. Thanks to modern technologies and techniques, the procedure for applying veneers has become painless and straightforward.
Porcelain with a metal framework is the most durable and widely used framework material. When the necessary sensitivity is demonstrated, the aesthetics are satisfactory and economical. Zirconia veneers possess insulating properties that prevent hypersensitivity to heat and cold. Due to their translucent structure, zirconium contributes to an aesthetically pleasing, natural appearance.
All metal-supported porcelains have a slightly opaque, matte surface caused by the gray metal. For this reason, zirconium is recommended as an ideal veneer method for front teeth.
Perfectly suited for those who desire aesthetically pleasing teeth, zirconium teeth are advantageous and distinguished by their natural appearance, which is their primary and most important feature. Furthermore, due to the properties of the zirconium element, zirconium teeth are insulating, thus preventing sensitivity to hot and cold.
One of the most significant advantages of porcelain veneers is their durability. Although all dental veneers are robust and long-lasting, porcelain veneers possess slightly superior qualities.
Thanks to their biocompatibility, veneers are non-allergenic. However, some people in the community are allergic to metal. If these individuals desire veneers, zirconium veneers should be used. Otherwise, numerous dental and gum problems can arise, such as gingivitis, receding gums, bleeding gums, gum swelling, redness, and so on. During the treatment, you will not experience any problems, as temporary veneers are used. These veneers are not as durable as permanent veneers, so you must be careful when eating hard foods. However, they function just like traditional veneers in terms of appearance. Generally, it is ideal to have your veneers done by your surgeon at the Cayra Clinic to avoid serious complications.
The price of veneers is categorized according to the type of dental veneer. A separate charge may apply for teeth that were filled before the veneer was applied. Price quotes can also be based on the improvement of existing conditions such as cracks and cavities. Veneer prices generally vary. Porcelain or zirconium veneers are the most commonly used materials. Metal substructures are used to increase the durability of porcelain veneers. The cost of veneers starts at €150.
Dental veneers are necessary in the following situations: excessive tissue loss around the tooth (e.g., due to bruising or fractures from trauma) that cannot be repaired with fillings; extensive or extensive restorations that lead to structural weakening of the tooth; discoloration that detracts from the tooth’s aesthetic appearance; crooked teeth or gaps (diastema) that cannot be corrected with orthodontic treatment. Splinting mobile teeth and correcting tooth contours or angles are cases where the occlusal relationships of the teeth need to be reconstructed. It is also used on teeth that have undergone root canal treatment and require follow-up.
Treatment with veneers is not recommended for patients with gum disease and psychological disorders. If these problems are left untreated, patients with gum disease will experience serious problems with their tooth structures, and their teeth will not respond positively to the cosmetic procedure.
Furthermore, gum problems can cause significant difficulties for the patient during the veneer application procedure. Therefore, gum problems are treated before the veneers are applied. Applying a laminate veneer without addressing the patient’s gum issues is impossible.
Veneers are not applied to the teeth of patients with mental health disorders. Due to psychological reasons, the patient’s constant biting on pens, spoons, plastic materials, and all kinds of complex objects in their mouth caused severe damage to the veneers. Therefore, these patients are asked to address these issues first.
However, if the patient has a habit of constantly biting their nails, this poses a risk for psychological reasons, and the patient will be asked to overcome this problem. Veneers can be applied to any patient without any problems if all these psychological factors are eliminated.
Patients with nighttime teeth grinding problems, people with jaw structure disorders, people with nail biting problems, people with gum problems, and patients who are unsuitable for the veneer method.
In such cases, orthodontic treatment and the use of night guards are offered to correct the problems, and treatment with veneers is performed. After the treatment, you will be provided with a night guard at the Cayra Clinic in Turkey for the period determined by your doctor.
The first step in the veneer process begins with an examination by the dentist. This examination also checks the health of your teeth and gums. If any problems are found, the first treatment is carried out. For example, if there is receding gums, a veneer treatment should be performed before addressing the gum recession.
The same applies to caries, and veneer treatment is initiated after the caries treatment is completed. If no problems are found during the initial examination or after treatment of the identified issues, a measurement study is initiated. Tooth measurements are taken, and the patient is given a local anesthetic to prevent pain.
Once the preparations, such as tooth preparation, are complete, precise measurements are taken, and temporary veneers are placed until the final veneers are fabricated. This aims to make the patient more comfortable with the appearance until the veneers are fitted and to eliminate any tooth sensitivity issues they may be experiencing. Following the measurements, studies are conducted, particularly in the veneer laboratory setting.
The prepared veneers are fitted to the patient for a trial fit, and their accuracy is measured against the gums. The final, and most crucial, stage is the aesthetic fitting. The purpose of this fitting is to verify the color harmony between the patient’s teeth and their existing teeth, ensuring that the veneers are compatible with their facial features. Since the result is an aesthetic procedure, the visual success of the work is paramount. All these processes are completed within ten days. In other words, the entire veneer treatment takes a maximum of 10 days.
It’s expected that you’ll feel strange at first with your dental veneers. Even a simple filling in your mouth can feel unusual for the first few days. Teeth placed in areas that have been empty for a long time will seem significant to you initially.
By the end of the first week, these will be like your natural part at the end of the month. If these changes are not excessive, we recommend that you be patient for at least a few weeks. If you are still not used to certain areas after three weeks, your doctor will correct those areas.
When it is first made, even if the area is left empty for a long time, it usually touches and can feel like there is some height. If you are still experiencing high levels of discomfort after the second day, you should go to the Cayra Clinic in Turkey as soon as possible. If the prosthesis is too large, it will bother you and damage the tooth.
Sometimes, you might experience discomfort with veneers when moving your jaw, even if your tooth isn’t particularly high. In this case, your dentist may need to perform another minor procedure. During this treatment, your teeth will be sensitive and irritated, and temporary veneers will be placed and removed at each appointment.
All dental veneers in Turkey have porcelain surfaces. Due to their smooth and slippery porcelain surface, they do not cause plaque buildup and are not affected by stains from coffee, tea, and cigarettes. The color remains constant.
Dental veneers in Turkey are also brushed twice daily, just like regular teeth. Flossing to clean between veneers, and unnecessary for toothless areas (such as under bridges), should be used daily, preferably just before bedtime. If your dentist at the Cayra Clinic checks you regularly every six months, any potential problems will be identified and preventative measures taken.
With regular checkups, dental veneers can last a long time if the patient maintains good oral hygiene. Regular checkups are essential, especially for people who grind or clench their teeth. It’s impossible to specify an exact lifespan, as the veneers‘ durability depends on individual oral hygiene and the avoidance of harmful habits.
The preparation is performed under local anesthesia, followed by the application of temporary, tooth-colored veneers to prevent painful sensitivity to hot and cold. Some patients experience a slight tingling sensation, and the procedure is completed quickly.
Ideally, veneers prepared in Turkey should be free of any issues that could lead to breakage or detachment. However, cracks can occur in the opposite direction and, under excessive force, can cause breakage. Veneers can also detach if decay develops beneath them over time and the tooth structure deteriorates. In such cases, the tooth is treated, if possible, and the veneer is reattached.
Zirconium and all-ceramic veneers contain no metal and do not cause metal allergies. Therefore, they can be safely used by people with metal allergies.
Thousands of patients book appointments for dental veneers every year. The main factors are licensed and successful Turkish dentists, fully equipped clinics and hospitals, low prices and high-quality services.
