Porcelain veneers are custom-made, wafer-thin shells of dental ceramic that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can correct a range of cosmetic issues including discolouration, chips, gaps, minor misalignment, and uneven tooth shapes. Each veneer is individually crafted to match the desired colour, shape, and size. The process usually takes two appointments. At the first visit, a small amount of enamel (typically 0.3-0.7mm) is removed from the front of each tooth to make room for the veneer. Impressions or digital scans are taken, and temporary veneers are placed. The permanent veneers are fabricated in a laboratory, then bonded to your teeth at the second appointment using a strong dental adhesive. Modern veneer materials like E-max (lithium disilicate) and layered porcelain offer outstanding aesthetics with excellent durability. Veneers are a popular choice for patients who want a significant cosmetic improvement without the more extensive preparation required for crowns.

Porcelain Veneers in Istanbul typically cost £185-£241 per per veneer. This is significantly less than the UK average of £900.
Yes. Istanbul is a well-established dental tourism destination. MyDentalFly only lists verified clinics with international accreditations. The same implant brands and materials used in the UK are available at partner clinics.
You'll typically need to stay 5-8 days in Istanbul. Most treatments can be completed in a single trip.
Most patients get veneers on their upper front 6-10 teeth, as these are the most visible when smiling. Your dentist will recommend the right number based on your smile line and goals.
Porcelain veneers are made in a lab, last longer (10-15 years), resist staining better, and look more natural. Composite veneers are applied directly in one visit, cost less, but typically last 5-7 years and may stain over time.
Not if done well. A skilled cosmetic dentist will match the shade and shape to look natural. You choose the shade — it can be bright white or a more natural off-white, depending on your preference.
Istanbul is one of the most visited cities in the world, welcoming over 20 million tourists annually. Dental clinics in modern districts like Sisli, Levent, and Atasehir are in safe, well-connected areas. Standard travel precautions apply, as with any major city.
Most treatments require 5-10 days. Single implant placements or veneer preparations typically need 5-7 days, while full-mouth restorations like All-on-4 may require 7-10 days. Your clinic will provide a personalised timeline based on your treatment plan.
