What are Dental Veneers?

Dental veneers involve a very thin sheet of ‘leaf’ or paper, created using a porcelain material, being attached to the front surface of your teeth to give them an aesthetically pleasing look and feel. As they are custom created, they will fit perfectly over a tooth or few teeth and give off a natural-looking result.  

If you are wondering how a thin piece of ‘leaf’ can last, the surprising thing is that dental veneers are some of the sturdiest materials used in the dental industry. They can also be produced by a variety of other materials, and not just porcelain.   

Everyone who watches celebrity shows on television or has seen Hollywood stars gleaming on the red carpet during award shows knows how magnificent their teeth often look when they’re showing off their fashionable outfits or running around on movie sets. There is no editing here, as everything you see is for the most part real, including their glistening white teeth.     

If you are wondering what it is that makes this difference, the most popular answer for this would be – veneers. For the most part, the majority of them go to get their teeth treated in popular chosen locations such as Turkey, not just because it is a beautiful place for tourists and to take a break, but also because they offer some of the best and most effective cosmetic surgery available. 

Reasons Why People Get Veneers in Turkey?

Veneers can fix a whole bunch of issues, some of which include:

• To cover a root canal procedure
• To cover large resin fillings
• Staining from drugs or tetracycline
• Discolored teeth from using excessive fluoride
• To help close gaps between teeth
• To help retain worn out teeth
• To help fix broken or chipped teeth
• Misaligned, uneven, irregularly shaped, or uneven teeth

If none of the above are reasons to get veneers, then simply whitening your teeth could work too. Dental clinics in Turkey offer various types of veneer treatments to their patients. 

Turkey in a Nutshell

Located in the Mediterranean region of Eurasia, Turkey is surrounded by the famous black sea to one side, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Aegean Sea. Its rich culture and history share a wide array of different architecture, food, and activities that are derived from the Persian empires, to the Roman, Ottoman, and Greek cultures. Other than its capital Istanbul, there are also other surrounding cities such as Antalya which have magnificent resorts and tourist destinations. 

Besides the above information is one of the main reasons why people frequent the region, there is also the advent of its high-end medical facilities that draw myriads of tourists from all over the globe. In particular, its dental centers, cosmetic clinics, and practices are all highly renowned and kitted with world-class equipment as well as highly qualified surgeons and doctors. 

In many instances, even more so than in the United States, which is usually the place where everyone thinks of first to get any type of surgery or procedure done. 

Five Common Types of Veneers in Turkey

Porcelain

One of the most common and aesthetic options people opt for is those made of porcelain. This is because it is the least harmful type of material to use inside the mouth and offers a long-lasting and robust result. Dental porcelain is insoluble, hard, biocompatible, and aesthetically pleasing, which is why it is used on most treatments such as crowns and fillings too.

The laminate veneers will rarely have any issues such as causing injury or contamination to surrounding tissue around the mouth. These have been seen to significantly improve the look of many people’s smiles. 

Your teeth may need some filling down before this is placed on them, but this is something that the dentist will discuss with you upon the initial consultation.

Lumineers

These are a common brand of veneers that are made up of the thinnest porcelain-laminate material and they require minimal preparation before the dentist in Turkey places them in your mouth. In comparison to the porcelain veneers mentioned above, the top layer of the tooth is removed before placing them over your enamel. 

These are the best solution for treating teeth that are discolored or shaped irregularly and the result is a smooth finish that looks and feels natural.

Palatal

Also, widely known by another name ‘onlays’, this is a great solution for restorative dental procedures. Any patient who has a damaged palatal tooth or teeth can make a difference with this treatment. Damage to the palate is often caused by a concept known as bruxism or teeth grinding, or erosion, and sometimes if you have a deep bite.

The anterior teeth that get spoiled due to any of the above-mentioned reasons, are normally hard to notice until you start to feel the symptoms of their days or even the week after. Anything from severe acid reflux to constant vomiting may be a reason to get it checked out at the dentist.

This solution repairs only the affected parts of your teeth and comes in two different chemical compositions namely, resin and porcelain. Out of the two, porcelain is usually the recommended choice of dentists in Turkey.  

Composite

There are two different types of composite veneers, namely indirect and direct.

Direct Composite Veneers:  These are made from a resin material and applied directly to the teeth. These take the least amount of time as the dentist does not need to do much during the preparation stages.  

Indirect composite veneers: The application process for these is what’s the main difference between this and the direct. The material may remain the same, however. Once your teeth are prepped, as per normal procedure, the veneers are applied to the outside of the mouth.

Temporary veneers are usually given to the patient, until such time as the actual indirect ones are created. This will take two consecutive appointments and on the second visit, the material is applied to the teeth using a layer of safe adhesive. 

These types can stand wear and tear and abrasions as compared to the direct ones, and handle frequent use far better. They may however be a more costly possibility so inquire about this when you visit your dental center.

Semi-Permanent

Before the placement of any permanent veneers such as the porcelain types, dentists will usually insert a non-permanent option for you. These are made from a flexible plastic or resin material and there are also DIY kits available in stores to purchase for those looking for a more flexible option.

There are two sub-categories or semi-permanent veneers, namely:

Custom Snap-On: these are usually of a higher quality than their predecessor. They are removable and after an impression of the teeth is made at the dental center, it is sent to the laboratories and a custom-fit is created for you, which you can either pick up at the dentist’s office or they can send it to you. 

They are a convenient way to fix things, however, they do not look as natural as the other more permanent selections. These are also susceptible to a build-up of plaque and some brands can harm your gum tissue if you wear them frequently. Hence, a permanent solution is much better than a temporary one in the long run.

Instant:  these are a cheaper version of the removable veneers and you can purchase them from a store. The easy application involves placing them in hot water to soften them and then pressing your teeth into the material to create an impression. These are not recommended for a permanent solution, however, can be used once in a while as a quick and easy fix.

Both of these options are not long-term dental solutions but do provide instant results, which will not last a long time.
