What is a porcelain veneer? Porcelain crowns?

Porcelain veneers are thin and custom-made layers of ceramic placed over the front surface of a tooth for aesthetic purposes. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/326253182_Porcelain_veneers_An_update

A porcelain crown is a tooth restoration that completely encapsulates the tooth to regain its shape, size, and strength. Porcelain veneers are suitable for cases with minor aesthetic problems such as staining or small cracks whereas crowns are for extensive problems such as fractures. Both procedures are carried out by dentists, who first have to shape the tooth and then cement the individually built facing or crown. Turkey is preferred for such dental treatments mainly because of aesthetic dentistry at an affordable price compared to other developed countries.

• Examination and Planning: I assess the overall state of the patient’s oral cavity, and go for radiography and dental impression to determine where the veneer will be done.

Are porcelain veneers worth it?

Yes, porcelain veneers are quite worthwhile.

In this area of work, I have had many patients give feedback that has received positive outcomes appreciating the enhanced aesthetic appearance. The porcelain veneer makes it look natural and beautiful, especially fixing minor problems such as stains, cracks, or gaps between the teeth. They do not fade easily and are resistant to staining, which helps maintain the aesthetic appearance of the mouth and teeth. The process ensures that most of the natural tooth top is retained while at the same time having a strong adhesion to the enamel. From a dental aspect, veneers shield the substructure from any additional decay or loss of enamel. Also, the increase in self-esteem and satisfaction with the appearance of teeth significantly improves overall well-being.

How long do porcelain veneers last?

Porcelain veneers are typically last for a minimum of 10 to 15 years.

To maintain their beauty, patients have to brush their teeth and the gaps in between them using dental floss; and must not consume food products that may cause their teeth to crack. It is recommended to have dental check-ups to identify any problem as soon as possible to avoid damaging the veneers. Practicing nonsmoking, not using alcoholic products, and avoiding foods and beverages that may stain such as coffee and red wine also help here.

Why do people prefer Turkey for porcelain veneers?

People opt for Turkey for porcelain veneers since the dentists performing the procedures are experienced and properly trained. The clinics and hospitals are adequately equipped and employ all the latest and modern facilities to provide the best of treatments. Limitations on access and rather often inspections help to ensure the environment’s safety and trustworthiness. Another plus is the porcelain veneer price as compared to other countries, where the procedures’ cost is rather high. Also, Turkey has one more advantage which is treatment combined with tourism because Turkey is a very attractive country to visit.  Most of the clinics provide a comprehensive package where things such as hotel accommodations and transportation from the airport are provided. Due to this well-rounded approach, Turkey is thus considered a very suitable choice for anyone in need of dental services.

No, the porcelain veneer procedure is not painful during the procedure.

Local anesthesia is applied to the area to not feel any pain during the procedure comprising of preparation of the teeth and positioning of the veneers. Any pain after the procedure may be treated with ibuprofen, Advil acetaminophen, or Tylenol. Some of the post-procedure effects include slight soreness or tenderness that may be felt by some patients. But this problem is temporary. Altogether, the whole process is aimed at letting the patient acquire as few inconveniences as possible.

Are porcelain veneers safe in Turkey?

Safe due to:

Qualified Turkish dentists

Dental clinic quality

Superior dental equipment

Advanced dental techniques

Positive patient experiences

Yes, porcelain veneers are safe in Turkey for several reasons.

Superior dental equipment and advanced dental techniques are used by well-trained and experienced dentists in armed dental clinics. The clinics are strictly inspected by the health ministry and those who do not follow the rules are penalized.

Porcelain veneers are made from materials that do not require an immune reaction or rejection of tissues. It requires minimal removal of tooth structure and allows very thin veneers to be bonded immediately. Rarely, some patients need a little more shaving to achieve the best shape and dimensions of the imperfections. If done correctly, the veneer acts as a shield for the original tooth for several years.

Porcelain veneers vs composite veneers

Durability is an important advantage of porcelain veneers, as veneers can last between 10 and 15 years; the likeness to the natural teeth is very similar. Aesthetic appliances for dental whitening depend on a time-consuming, several-stage procedure such as making the rays in the dental laboratory, which guarantees perfect adaptation. on the other hand, the composite veneers are placed directly on the surface of the teeth within a single visit and as such cheaper and time-wise faster in the process. However, comparatively, composite veneers are a bit prone to staining and typically may need a replacement after 5-7 years. Porcelain veneers are better for major cosmetic changes and permanent application while composite veneers are better for minor repairs and the price-conscious clientele. Patients must analyze the quality and looks of porcelain veneers against the versatile and inexpensive attributes of the composite veneers to arrive at an ideal self-care decision.

Do porcelain veneers stain?

No, porcelain veneers are quite good at resisting stains.

Since the veneers are made of porcelain which is not porous at all, they do not readily stain. This makes them less likely to take up pigments within foods and drinks in contrast to the natural enamel of the teeth. Since veneers are made from porcelain, it means that they will not stain easily and thus remain intact, in terms of color, for a long period. In my practice, my patients say that the technique yields good results and the amount of staining over the years is minimal. It is also important to brush and floss the teeth at least twice daily and when needing a more thorough clean, this should be done when paying a visit to a dentist, all these help in maintaining the veneers free from stains. Nonetheless, porcelain veneers are among the hardest and least permeable to staining substances.  In general, the assessment of our patients points out that they are satisfied with the durability and stain-proof characteristics of porcelain veneers.
