Porcelain Veneers
in Turkey
Minimal-prep porcelain and E.max veneers from £180 per tooth — a fraction of UK private prices, without compromising on materials or laboratory standards. Digital smile design, written treatment plan, and a UK aftercare network so the relationship doesn't end when you fly home.
Veneers vs crowns — we won't push you to the wrong one
Most cosmetic dentistry work sold under the "Hollywood Smile" name in Turkey is actually a full set of zirconia crowns — not veneers. The difference matters: a crown wraps the entire tooth and removes significantly more healthy tooth structure than a veneer.
At Ultradiş we propose veneers when the teeth are healthy and the correction is cosmetic; we propose crowns only when there's genuine clinical need (large restorations, root canal treatment, fracture). The treatment plan is written, and the rationale for each tooth is explained before any preparation begins. If a case would be better served by clear-aligner orthodontics plus whitening, we will say that too.
How the treatment works

Photos and digital smile design (remote)
Send us a few photos by WhatsApp before flying. Our team prepares a digital smile design (DSD) preview and a written quote you can approve before booking the trip.

Day 1 — consultation and mock-up
Clinical exam, digital scan, panoramic if needed. Mock-up of the proposed smile bonded onto your existing teeth temporarily — you see it in your face, in your mirror, before any preparation.

Day 2 — preparation and temporaries
Local anaesthetic, minimal enamel reduction (0.3–0.7 mm), digital impression, temporary veneers placed. You wear them for 3–5 days and tell us what you'd change.

Common questions
How much do porcelain veneers cost in Turkey vs the UK?
A single porcelain or E.max veneer at our Pendik clinic costs £180–£280 per tooth. A full smile makeover (8 upper veneers) runs £1,400–£2,200; 16 veneers (upper and lower) £2,800–£4,500. UK private comparison: £700–£1,200 per veneer, £10,000–£18,000 for a full smile makeover. The difference is lab, rent and labour costs in Turkey — not material quality. We use the same E.max ingots from Ivoclar Vivadent that UK ceramists use.
What's the difference between veneers and crowns?
A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain bonded to the front surface of the tooth. We typically remove only 0.3–0.7 mm of enamel — the tooth structure stays largely intact. A crown wraps the entire tooth and needs significantly more reduction. Veneers are for cosmetic correction of healthy teeth; crowns are for teeth that are heavily restored, root-canal treated, or fractured. Most cosmetic 'Hollywood Smile' work in Turkey is actually crowns, not veneers — we will always tell you which one we're proposing and why.
Are minimal-prep / no-prep veneers an option?
Yes, when the case allows. For patients with smaller teeth or teeth that need to come slightly forward, true no-prep veneers (like Lumineers-style) can work. For most British cosmetic cases — closing diastemas, correcting shape, lightening dark teeth — a minimal prep of 0.3–0.5 mm gives a more natural-looking result. We do not over-prepare healthy teeth to fit a generic 'smile pack'. If a case is better served by orthodontics + whitening alone, we will say so.
How long does the treatment take?
Most full-arch cosmetic cases need a 5–7 day trip: day 1 consultation, photos, digital smile design (DSD) and mock-up; day 2 preparation and temporary veneers; days 3–5 wear the temporaries, give feedback; day 6–7 fitting of the final veneers and finishing. For 1–4 single veneers a 4–5 day trip is enough. We can adjust the timeline if you need to be back in the UK by a specific date — tell us when you enquire.
How long do veneers last?
Clinical literature shows 10–15 years as a realistic expectation for well-made porcelain veneers in patients who don't grind their teeth and maintain good oral hygiene. Our written warranty covers 5 years for fracture, debonding, or aesthetic failure at the cervical margin caused by a fault on our side. The warranty does not cover trauma, untreated bruxism without a nightguard, or normal staining of bonded composite restorations.
What happens after I fly back to the UK?
You get a free 12-month remote follow-up over WhatsApp and video, plus access to our UK aftercare partner network in London (Camden), Manchester (city centre) and Birmingham (Edgbaston) for in-person checks at no cost. If a veneer chips or debonds within the warranty, we either re-bond at the UK partner where possible, or fly you back to Istanbul for re-treatment with flights up to £300 covered per the contract.
