Get low-cost dental veneers in Istanbul for a fraction of the price you’ll pay at home and improve your smile no end.

There’s no need these days to put up with teeth that are ruining your smile. These days you have so many options to improve it, but few are as easy or effective as dental veneers. This treatment can fix a variety of problems, including cracked or damaged teeth, misshapen and discoloured teeth or just plain unsightly alignment. However, the treatment for one veneer is expensive, and if you want to transform your smile with several veneers it becomes unaffordable for many.

Your dentist will be able to tell you whether you are a suitable candidate for veneers. One of the most important factors to consider prior to treatment is whether your dental health is generally good. Veneers are attached to the front teeth to hide cosmetic imperfections, but not major problems caused by poor dental health. If your teeth are unhealthy then veneers are not likely to stay in place, in which case you’ll have wasted your money. So, while veneers are a quick fix, they aren’t always the answer.

If, however, your dental health is generally good, any single tooth that might be chipped, cracked, discoloured or misshapen can be treated with a veneer. If you are concerned that your teeth are not straight and you don’t want orthodontic treatment, then veneers may well provide the answer. Applied in a row over the teeth you show when you smile can transform how you look in a lot less time than undergoing orthodontic treatment with braces. It’s so effective as a treatment that scores of celebrities have had veneers, including Nicholas Cage, Demi Moore, Ben Affleck and Cheryl Cole.

This treatment usually entails two or three visits to the dentist—the first for assessment; the second for treatment planning and the third to get the veneers fixed.

• Assessment & Treatment Planning: Prior to treatment your dentist will undertake a thorough assessment of your mouth and teeth and will discuss your goals and the outcome you’d like to achieve. If suitable, a treatment plan will be drawn up and you will be given an appointment to return to the dentist. Many dental clinics serving international patients begin treatment the same day of your consultation.
• Preparation of Teeth: Next, your teeth will be prepared to receive the veneers. In order for the veneers to fit flush with the rest of your teeth, your dentist will remove a thin layer of enamel from the front of your tooth or teeth. This will be performed under local anaesthetic by the dentist; once complete impressions are then taken of the teeth and sent to the laboratory where the veneers are made to measure, and you will be given another appointment to return to your dentist once your veneers have been created.
• Affixing Veneers: Typically, after just a few days you will return to the dentist to have your veneers fitted. A special light-activated adhesive is used to fix them to the front of the teeth in a relatively speedy process. Once attached they will be strong and secure, giving you many years of good service—providing you treat them with respect and don’t try an open bottle tops with them!

With the advent of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) technology, it is possible to get same-day veneers at dental clinics that have invested in the technology. Instead of your dentist having to do impressions, and send them to a laboratory where a technician makes your veneers by hand (a labour-intensive process), the treatment can be performed in one visit at your dentist’s office.

In the place of messy impressions, accurate 3D scans of your mouth and teeth are made with special CT scanning equipment. The digital images are uploaded immediately to a computer, where the design software allows the dentist (or an onsite ceramicist) to design your smile on the screen in front of you. When you are all happy with the looks, the images are sent to the onsite laboratory where the milling machine will replicate the computer’s designs in the material you have chosen—while you wait.

Once the veneers are made, the dentist can then fit them and you can be off on your way with your brand new smile.
