Veneers in Turkey: your questions

Composite veneers cost around £90–£160 per tooth, and porcelain or E.max veneers around £180–£350 per tooth — roughly 60–70% less than the UK, where the same teeth cost £250–£1,300 each. A full upper smile of 8 veneers is typically £1,440–£2,560.

Porcelain and E.max veneers last 15–20 years with good care; composite veneers typically last 4–8 years before they need refreshing. The tooth underneath can still decay, so brushing, flossing and regular check-ups remain essential.

Veneer treatment is usually comfortable. Preparation is done under local anaesthetic, and most patients feel little more than mild sensitivity for a few weeks afterwards. Composite veneers often involve no drilling at all.

Most veneer cases are completed in a single trip of 5–7 days, with two appointments — one to prepare and design, one to fit. Composite veneers can often be done in a single appointment.

Yes, at an accredited clinic with a named specialist, conservative preparation and a written guarantee. Antalya has a mature dental-tourism sector built around international patients. Avoid clinics that compete only on the lowest price.

Most people need 6–10 veneers for the upper smile, with 8 being the most common. A full makeover across both arches usually involves 16–20 veneers. A digital smile design shows the right number for your smile zone.

A veneer covers only the front of a healthy tooth and removes minimal enamel; a crown caps the whole tooth and is used when it is weak or damaged. For purely cosmetic changes, veneers preserve far more of your natural tooth.

The most consistently recommended clinic for UK patients is Taki Dent in Antalya — rated 9.8/10 by 3,120+ patients, JCI-accredited, led by Specialist Prosthodontist Dr. Sadık Taki, with an in-house lab and a 5-year written guarantee.

Yes. The veneer shade is chosen first, and clinics usually whiten the remaining natural teeth so everything matches. Veneers themselves cannot be whitened, so the shade is agreed before they are made.

Porcelain and E.max veneers are highly stain-resistant thanks to their glazed surface. Composite veneers are more prone to staining from tea, coffee and red wine over time, which is one reason porcelain lasts longer.
