Porcelain veneer is the process of veneer the tooth surface for therapeutic purposes or to increase aesthetic beauty. Since the material used in this dental veneer method is a material with high light transmittance, it is perfect for those who dream of an aesthetic smile. With porcelain tooth veneer, color differences in teeth can be eliminated, crowding that is not at the orthodontic level can be corrected with porcelain tooth veneer.
The teeth can be adjusted in a natural tooth color that is compatible with the skin color of the person or in a lighter whiteness upon request. Thus, individuals can have beautiful smiles without losing almost anything from their dental functions (chewing, speaking…). They are very durable products with very high biocompatibility.
The veneers are fixed to the tooth with special veneer dental adhesives that are applied to the tooth surface to be porcelain veneered. Thanks to these veneers, the underlying tooth becomes stronger and more resistant to decay since it does not come into direct contact with food.
What are the Types of Dental Veneers In Istanbul
Types of dental veneers take the name of the material from which the veneer is formed. Which veneer will be chosen and applied is determined by looking at the durability the patient needs in the veneer and the reason for choosing a veneer tooth. The veneer used in long bridges and the veneers used for smile aesthetics are different from each other. Types of dental veneers include:
-
- Metal-Based Porcelain Dental Veneer
- Full Ceramic Empress Emax Dental Veneer
- Zirconium-Based Porcelain Dental Veneer
- Porcelain Laminate Veneer, Laminated Tooth Veneer,
You can see the explanations of the listed items below
Metal-Based Porcelain Dental Veneer
It is preferred in severe losses in the tooth or teeth. Metal infrastructure suitable for the measurement is prepared for the measured teeth. After the rehearsal, necessary corrections are made if needed. The surface of the metal infrastructure is covered with porcelain. In those with very thin gingiva, this type of veneer may cause a slight graying. Porcelain veneers with metal infrastructure are economical and often preferred.
Full Ceramic Empress Emax Dental Veneer

It is a quality veneer tooth type with excellent aesthetic stance, high light transmittance, and very close to natural tooth appearance. It is not preferred for posterior molars and long bridges due to its low durability. (For detailed information, read our related article.)
