Dental Veneers

Dental veneer treatment can require up to 3 visits to the dentist. First visit is for a consultation which the dentist will examine the teeth and make sure that veneers are suitable. X-rays can be taken of the teeth and the dentist may make impressions of the mouth and teeth. In the second visit, the dentist will remove about ½ millimeter of the enamel from the tooth surface. Before trimming off the enamel, the dentist will decide whether there is a need for local anesthetic to numb the area. Then the dentist will make a model or impression of the teeth, which will then be sent out to a dental laboratory to construct the veneer. Lastly on the third visit to the dentist, the dental veneer will be permanently cemented to the tooth after the dentist has temporarily placed it on the tooth and examined its fit and color. Before the veneer is applied, the tooth will be cleaned, polished and etched. Special cement is applied to the veneer and then the veneer is placed on the tooth. Once the position is fixed the dentist will apply a special light beam to the dental veneer, which will activate the chemicals in the cement causing it to harden or cure quicker. The last step is for the dentist to remove any excess cement evaluating the bite and making final adjustments.

• Patients must brush and floss their teeth before they come to the clinic

• Patients must brush the teeth twice a day using toothpaste, containing fluoride. Toothbrush must be renewed every 3 months

• Patients must floss the teeth once a day and make sure all plaque is removed before moving to the next tooth

• Allergy to materials used
• Allergy to anesthesia

Local anesthesia – induces absence of sensation to a specific part of the body

The patients will attend a consultation with the dentist and will be advised about the treatment and their condition. The patient will then be taken through a couple of tests that are required before the treatment; X-rays will be taken to check the roots of the tooth and impression of the mouth and teeth. Then the dentist will make a model of the teeth and send it to the laboratory for the permanent veneers to be made.

The patient is free and can enjoy their time in Turkey.

The final visit to the dentist, the tooth will be cleaned, polished and etched before the appliance of the veneers. The permanent veneers will be tried on and then cemented onto the tooth using special cement. The veneer is placed on the tooth. Once the position is fixed the dentist will apply a special light beam to the dental veneer, which will activate the chemicals in the cement causing it to harden or cure quicker. The last step is for the dentist to remove any excess cement evaluating the bite and making final adjustments. Once done and the patient is happy with their smile they are ready to return to their destination or spend quality time in the rest of their stay.
