Treatment guide

Veneers in Turkey, without the “Turkey teeth” look.

Veneers can transform a smile in a single trip, at a fraction of UK prices. Here’s what they cost per tooth in pounds, the difference between e.max and composite, how many you actually need, and how to make sure the result looks like you.

Types of veneers

Porcelain and e.max

  • Made in a lab from ceramic; e.max is a popular, strong type
  • Most natural-looking and stain-resistant
  • Usually 10–15+ years with good care
  • Needs a thin layer of enamel removed

Composite

  • Tooth-coloured resin shaped directly on the tooth
  • Lower cost, often little or no enamel removed
  • Usually 4–8 years, can stain and chip
  • Easier to repair or adjust

Typical published ranges, October 2026. UK prices are private dentist fees. Savings compare the middle of each range. Turkey prices are clinic “from” prices and may not include grafting or extractions. Your quote will.

A quote should list the number of veneers, the material, the lab, any whitening of the teeth that aren’t covered, temporary veneers, the hotel and transfers. Be cautious of package prices that don’t say which material you’re getting.

How many veneers you need

Most people have veneers on the teeth that show when they smile, often 8 to 10 on the top arch, sometimes with matching ones on the bottom. A full set of 16 to 20 is often marketed as a Hollywood smile. More isn’t always better; the right number depends on how wide your smile is and what you want to change.

How to get a natural result

  • Choose a shade that suits your skin tone and the whites of your eyes, not the brightest on the chart
  • Ask for a digital smile design or a mock-up before anything is fitted
  • Keep the length and shape close to your own teeth unless you want a change
  • Ask to see before-and-after photos of the clinic's own natural-looking cases

Brighter isn't always better

The over-white, oversized look is what most people mean when they say “Turkey teeth”. A good dentist will talk you through shade and shape, and let you see a preview first.

Veneers aren't crowns: check what you're offered

Veneers cover the front of the tooth and need only a thin layer of enamel removed. Crowns cover the whole tooth, which has to be filed down on every side. Many bad outcomes come from healthy teeth being crowned for cosmetic reasons.

If your teeth will be filed down all round, those are crowns

Ask why veneers or bonding wouldn’t work for your teeth, and get the answer in writing. More in our Turkey teeth guide.

One trip of about 5–7 days

One trip

Days 1–2: consultation, smile design, any preparation and scans. Days 3–5: the lab makes your veneers, and you wear temporaries. Days 5–7: fitting, adjustments and a final check before you fly home.

Questions to ask any clinic

  • Who will do my treatment, and what are their qualifications?
  • Veneers or crowns, and why for my teeth?
  • Which material, and which lab makes them?
  • How much enamel will be removed?
  • Can I see a mock-up or digital design before anything is fitted?
  • What's the warranty, and what happens if a veneer chips or comes off?
  • What exactly is included in the price?

This is what we do for you

We ask every clinic these questions and put the answers side by side for you, in plain English and GBP, before you decide anything.
