YOUR TREATMENT GUIDE
Start With the Smile Change You Want
Veneer planning begins with the concern you want to address and the condition of your teeth. Describe the colour, shape or proportion you would like to change, then ask how the proposed work compares with other suitable options and what it means for your natural teeth.
01
Your priorities
Bring a short list of the details you want to change and those you would like to keep.
02
The restoration type
Confirm whether each tooth is being offered a veneer, crown or another form of treatment.
03
Your review points
Agree how the proposed shape and shade will be discussed before the final restorations are fitted.
What Are Dental Veneers?
Veneers are coverings placed on the front surface of teeth. They may be discussed for changes in appearance such as colour, shape or chips. They differ from crowns, which cover more of a tooth. Ask which restoration is actually proposed for you.
Start With Your Goals and the Condition of Your Teeth
Describe what you would like to change, and ask the dentist to explain what needs assessment before cosmetic treatment. The aim is a clear recommendation that considers the existing teeth and the alternatives rather than starting with a predetermined number of veneers.
Emax Porcelain and Other Material Questions
Medico Clinic’s veneers and crowns offering includes Emax porcelain and Monolithic Zirconia. Ask the clinician which restoration and material are being proposed for each tooth and why.
Veneers, Crowns and Composite Bonding
Ask for a comparison that covers the aim of treatment, the preparation needed, whether the treatment is reversible and what maintenance may be required. Do not assume that every alternative is offered by Medico merely because it is discussed as a general option.
Tooth Preservation and Long-Term Decisions
Veneer treatment can involve removal of enamel and is not reversible. Veneers may later need repair or replacement. Discuss the implications before proceeding, including how the teeth and gums will be assessed and which alternatives merit consideration.
Planning, Shade and Review
The clinic has Digital Smile Design software, an intraoral scanner and an in-house laboratory. Ask how the proposed shape and shade will be discussed and what opportunity you will have to review the plan before treatment.
Bring examples to explain your preferences, but ask the clinician to discuss what is appropriate for your own teeth. The aim is an informed agreement on the proposed work, with the clinical limitations explained.
How Much Do Dental Veneers Cost in Turkey?
Ask for a written quotation that describes the proposed treatment rather than comparing a price without its scope. The document should identify the work included, the materials or implant systems where relevant, investigations, temporary and final stages, the proposed visits and the aftercare arrangements.
Separate treatment costs from travel, accommodation and transfers. Ask which services are included, which are optional and what happens if the examination changes the plan. A lower headline amount is not enough to establish that two quotations cover the same care.
How Many Visits and How Long in Istanbul?
Discuss the clinical sequence before making travel commitments. Ask which stages happen on the first visit, what must be reviewed before a later stage and what would happen if the schedule needs to change.
Your plan should distinguish appointment time from the total stay and identify any later visit. Request a clear explanation of the assumptions behind the proposed dates. The general six-step journey is a guide to coordination, not a fixed clinical timetable.
Aftercare, Records and Written Terms
Ask which checks are planned before you leave Istanbul, which records you will receive and whom you should contact after travelling home. Medico Clinic has active aftercare partners in London and Pennsylvania. Confirm whether a named partner is relevant to your case and how appointments will be arranged.
Discuss the difference between planned follow-up, unexpected problems and any written warranty. The location of a partner does not establish free or unlimited services. Keep a copy of the agreed plan and ask for any unclear responsibilities or costs to be explained.
The Team Involved in Your Treatment
Visit the doctors hub to see the named members of the Medico Clinic team. Ask who will assess your case, perform each stage and coordinate your follow-up.
Explain the Concern Before Discussing a Number of Veneers
A veneer enquiry can begin with one tooth or a wider appearance question. Ask the clinician to identify which teeth are being considered and why. A standard package count does not provide that explanation.
Tell the dentist what you want to preserve as well as what you want to change. If a reference image helps express a preference, use it for that discussion while keeping the assessment focused on your own teeth. The proposed treatment should reflect the findings and the alternatives explained to you.
Read Veneer and Crown Offers Carefully
When comparing quotations, check that both use restoration terms consistently. A material name may appear beside different procedures. Ask for a tooth-by-tooth description if one document refers to veneers and another refers to crowns.
Your decision should include an explanation of the proposed preparation, the extent of the change and any irreversible steps. Ask which options could be considered and why the clinician recommends a particular approach for each tooth.
Discuss the Review Process in Advance
Ask when you will discuss shade and shape and how your preferences will be recorded. Clarify who answers questions about the design and how that information reaches the laboratory. A clear process is more useful than a broad promise of a particular look.
If temporary work is part of the plan, request the instructions that apply during that stage. Know which appointment concerns preparation, which concerns review and which concerns fitting the final restorations.
Keep Your Restoration Specification for Later Care
At the end of treatment, ask what material and product details will be provided with your records. Keep those details with your individual aftercare instructions and the contact route for a concern.
If another clinician provides follow-up after you leave Istanbul, ask which information they need. The handover should identify the work completed and the responsibilities agreed for the next stage, including any fees or limits on partner services.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are veneers the same as crowns?
No. The restoration types differ. Ask the clinician to show which one is proposed for each tooth and explain the preparation required.
Can veneers be removed to return to the original teeth?
Discuss irreversibility and the proposed preparation before treatment. Do not assume that a cosmetic restoration can simply be reversed.
How many veneers will I need?
Ask for an individual explanation of which teeth are being considered and why. There is no standard number; it depends on your smile and the plan you agree after assessment.
How long will the veneers last?
Material lifespan wording requires clinical approval. Ask about maintenance, review appointments and the possibility of later repair or replacement.
Is the laboratory at the clinic?
Medico Clinic has an in-house CAD/CAM dental laboratory. Ask how it will be used in your proposed treatment.

Connect Your Smile Goals to the Assessment
| Decision | What to clarify | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Colour | Whether whitening or another approach is relevant before considering restorations. | Different concerns may need different discussions. |
| Shape and proportion | Which teeth would be treated and what would change on each. | An individual plan is more informative than a fixed package size. |
| Tooth preparation | The planned preparation, alternatives and future maintenance. | Understand the long-term commitment of the proposal. |
Before You Leave With Your Restoration
- Keep the treated tooth numbers, exact restoration type and material specification with your records.
- Ask the dentist to demonstrate the cleaning routine for your own crown, bridge or veneers.
- Confirm the contact for a bite concern, a damaged restoration or a question about sensitivity.
- Record the agreed review arrangements and written repair or replacement terms, including any exclusions.
