Lumineers Dental Veneers in Istanbul, Turkey

Good question. Unfortunately, many patients who travel for their treatment face unethical practices in clinics they prefer such as getting bullied about surprise charges by clinics.

The plan and price we share with you are carefully prepared based on the photos, X-rays, or details and your expectations that you send us before your trip. When you arrive, we simply confirm everything in person with an examination before beginning your treatment.

Sometimes, however, a small detail that could not be seen in the photos or x-rays may show up during the clinic examination. For example, this might be the need to reinforce your bone tissue with grafting and sinus lifting procedure. Unlike most clinics that deal with international patients, the pricing and the possibility of these details are transparently shared with you in your treatment plan.

If that happens, we will explain it clearly, show you the issue, and discuss all the options with you before making any changes. Nothing is ever done without your agreement.

Your treatment plan and price will stay the same unless we discover something new during your check-up. Even then, we’ll decide together with you about your options before moving forward with any treatments.

Our clinic also helps arrange trusted transportation and accommodation options to make sure you feel comfortable and secure during your stay.

Yes, absolutely. During smile design, we show you a simulation of your new teeth before they are actually made. With a “mock-up” model, you can see both the color and the shape of your future teeth, and even how they will look inside your mouth. Once you approve the mock-up, the final teeth are produced according to your choice.

One important note: after your restorations are made, they cannot be lightened further, but they can be adjusted to a slightly darker shade if needed. That’s why we discuss all details with you beforehand and take your feedback seriously, so the final result matches exactly what you want.

In short: yes, you’ll see a preview of your new smile before treatment — and you’ll have a chance to approve the look before the final teeth are made.

For crowns, some preparation is always required — the tooth needs to be reshaped so the crown can fully cover and protect it. With veneers, the preparation is much lighter. Only a very thin layer (around 0.3 mm) is gently shaved from the front surface of the tooth, which keeps most of your natural tooth intact.

There is also a special option called prepless veneers, also known as Lumineers. In this treatment, no shaving or preparation is done at all. However, not everyone is a candidate — your bite, tooth shape, and surface must be suitable. If everything matches well, this can be a good choice for patients who want a smile makeover without any tooth reduction.

Crowns always require preparation, veneers require very minimal shaving, and in certain cases, prepless veneers can be done with no shaving at all.

Yes, it is possible to cover a tooth with gold or add a decorative piece, but it’s not something we recommend for long-term use. While gold is strong and safe, jewelry-style caps are usually chosen for looks rather than health. They don’t always fit as securely as regular crowns, which means food and bacteria can get trapped, leading to problems like cavities or gum issues.

If you’re interested in this type of design, it can be arranged as a special request.

While teeth can be covered with gold or jewelry, but regular crowns are healthier and safer for everyday use, so protecting your oral health will always be our top priority.

Postponing dental treatment is possible, but it is not the safest choice. Dental health issues tend to present themselves without major symptoms and are progressive. Small problems like cavities or gum issues often start out painless. But over time, they can grow and lead to bigger issues such as infections, tooth loss, then bone loss, or the need for more complex treatments.

If your situation isn’t urgent, a short delay may not cause harm. However, the longer you wait, the higher the risk that the problem becomes more serious and costly to fix. More delay means more chances for your oral and dental health to get worse.

It’s best not to delay dental treatment. If you have concerns about timing, consult your dentist. Together you can make a plan that fits your needs.

Back teeth literally do most of the heavy lifting when you chew, so they need a much stronger material to handle the pressure. Zirconia is very strong, which makes it much less likely to crack or break in the chewing area.

Veneers, on the other hand, are very thin and only cover the front surface of the tooth. While they look beautiful, they are not designed to handle strong bite forces. So if they were to be placed on back teeth, they could easily break after just a few bites.

That’s why veneers are used mainly for front teeth, where the focus is on aesthetics, while zirconia is preferred for the back teeth, where strength and durability are most important.

Veneers (laminates) are very thin and they are made from porcelain. Because they are more fragile, they are usually recommended to be utilized on the “smile line” — the 20 teeth that show when you smile. Zirconia crowns, on the other hand, are much stronger material, so they can be placed on all teeth in the mouth, including the chewing teeth in the back area and also on implants.

The way teeth are prepared for each treatment type is also different. For zirconia crowns, the tooth is reduced all around so it becomes smaller, and the crown covers it completely.

For veneers, since they are used for smile design and aesthetics expectations, we remove only a very small amount from the front surface of the teeth — usually about 0.2 to 0.5 mm. This way, most of your natural tooth stays untouched.

Veneers are mainly for the front teeth and require minimal shaving (preparation), while zirconia crowns are stronger, cover the whole tooth, and can also be used on back teeth

Yes, you will have a chance to choose your tooth color before the treatment is finalized. We usually tell patients to stay for 7–10 days to take care of this process and decide without rushing, during which you’ll be shown a color chart to help you pick the shade that best matches your skin tone and personal preference.

One important thing to know is this: if the chosen color feels too white or too bright after placement, we can send it back to the lab to make it a little darker later. But if you choose a shade that isn’t white enough, it cannot be lightened further afterwards — that is unfortunately not possible.

That’s why it’s very important to discuss openly with your dentist during the process, so together we can choose the color that will make you happiest and satisfy your expectations.

Laminate veneers are used when patients ask for a Hollywood Smile, and tell us that they want a brighter and more aesthetic result. Zirconia crowns, on the other hand, are not only for looks — on a case by case basis, they are also used as part of a treatment. For example, if you need a root canal or an implant, we often place a zirconia crown on top to protect the root canal and complete the treatment with a functioning tooth. Others like veneers or composites, are mostly chosen for aesthetic reasons only.

The main difference between veneers and crowns is in how much of the tooth is prepared. For a laminate veneer, only a very thin layer from the front surface of the tooth (about 0.3 mm) is gently shaved to make room to attach the restoration onto this area. For a crown, more of the tooth is reshaped — it’s reduced all around, leaving the root and a smaller part of the natural tooth underneath, and then the zirconia crown is placed on top.

Zirconia is the strongest material and can be placed anywhere in the mouth, front or back. Veneers are more for patients who mainly want an aesthetic improvement in the front teeth. Composite, on the other hand, is usually used as a tooth filling material; it can stain or chip within 1–2 years, which is why we don’t recommend it for full smile makeovers
