A Beautiful New Smile, Porcelain Veneers From £110 Per Tooth
Custom-crafted ceramic porcelain veneers that transform your smile, placed by experienced specialists in a modern clinic.
Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments in the world, and for good reason. They can transform stained, chipped, uneven, or gapped teeth into a beautiful, uniform smile in just a few days. If you have ever looked at someone's smile and thought it looked effortlessly natural, there is a good chance they had veneers.
In the UK, a single porcelain veneer costs between £500 and £1,000. With The Health Store Turkey, the same quality veneer starts from just £110 per tooth. Most patients have between 8 and 20 veneers fitted to achieve a full smile transformation, and the savings are life-changing. A full set of 20 veneers that would cost up to £20,000 in the UK could cost as little as £2,200 with us.
Your all-inclusive package covers consultations, X-rays, tooth preparation, temporary veneers, and your permanent porcelain veneers. Your patient coordinator manages every detail.
What Is Veneer Crown Ceramic (Porcelain) (Single Tooth)?
What Are Porcelain Veneer Crowns?
A veneer crown is a thin shell of ceramic porcelain that is bonded to the front surface of a tooth. It covers the entire visible portion of the tooth, transforming its shape, size, colour, and alignment. Veneer crowns are slightly thicker than traditional veneers and provide additional strength and coverage, making them suitable for teeth that need both cosmetic improvement and structural support.
Porcelain is an excellent material for veneers because it mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel. Each veneer is custom-crafted in a dental laboratory to match the precise colour, shape, and translucency you want for your new smile.
Veneer crowns are ideal for:
- Discoloured or stained teeth that whitening cannot fix
- Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth
- Uneven or misshapen teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Mildly crooked teeth (as a cosmetic alternative to braces)
Many patients choose to have a full set of veneers (typically 8 to 20 teeth) for a complete smile makeover. Your dentist designs your new smile based on your face shape, lip line, and personal preferences, the goal is always a natural, beautiful result that suits you.
Am I Suitable?
Am I a Good Candidate?
Porcelain veneers are suitable for most adults who want to improve the appearance of their smile. You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Stained or discoloured teeth that do not respond to whitening
- Chipped, cracked, or worn teeth that need cosmetic restoration
- Gaps between teeth that you want to close
- Uneven or misshapen teeth that affect your confidence
- Generally healthy teeth and gums with no active decay or gum disease
Your dentist assesses your teeth to confirm veneers are the right option. If you have significant decay, gum disease, or very little remaining tooth structure, these issues may need addressing first.
If you grind your teeth (bruxism), your dentist may recommend a night guard to protect your veneers while you sleep. Veneers are durable but not indestructible, they need the same care as natural teeth.
What Happens During the Procedure?
What Happens During Your Treatment?
Before You Travel
You share dental photos showing your current smile. Your dentist discusses the result you want, colour, shape, and how many teeth to treat. A treatment plan is created with a full cost breakdown.
Day 1, Assessment and Preparation
At the clinic, your dentist examines your teeth and takes digital impressions. Each tooth receiving a veneer is prepared, a thin layer of enamel (about 0.5mm) is removed to create space. Temporary veneers are fitted immediately so you are never without teeth.
Days 2-4, Fabrication
Your permanent veneers are handcrafted in the dental laboratory. Each one is colour-matched and shaped to create a natural, uniform smile. You enjoy your hotel and explore Turkey while you wait.
Day 5, Fitting
Your permanent porcelain veneers are tried in, checked for colour and fit, and bonded to your teeth. Adjustments are made until you and your dentist are completely satisfied. You leave with your finished smile.
Final Check
A follow-up appointment ensures everything feels comfortable and your bite is correct.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery and Aftercare
There is virtually no recovery period after veneer fitting. You can smile, eat, and drink straight away.
Immediately after fitting: Mild sensitivity to hot and cold is common for a few days as your teeth adjust. This settles quickly.
First 24 hours: Avoid very hard or sticky foods while the bonding cement sets fully.
Ongoing care: Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss daily, and attend regular check-ups. Porcelain veneers resist staining well, but avoiding excessive consumption of highly pigmented foods and drinks helps maintain their appearance.
Longevity: With proper care, porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 15 years. Many patients get longer. When they eventually need replacing, the process is straightforward.
Your 12 months of aftercare covers any adjustments needed after your visit.
Risks & Considerations
Risks and Considerations
Porcelain veneers are a well-established cosmetic treatment with an excellent track record. There are a few considerations.
Tooth preparation is permanent: A thin layer of enamel is removed during preparation. This means your teeth will always need veneers or crowns. This is not reversible, though it is a routine procedure performed millions of times worldwide.
Sensitivity: Some patients experience temporary sensitivity after preparation. This usually resolves within a few weeks.
Chipping or cracking: Porcelain veneers are strong but not indestructible. Avoid biting hard objects (ice, bottle caps, pens). If you grind your teeth, a night guard is recommended.
Colour matching: Your veneers are colour-matched at the time of fitting. The colour is permanent, they cannot be whitened later. If you whiten your natural teeth in future, any unveneered teeth may no longer match.
All considerations are discussed during your consultation. Your dentist shows you shade options and uses digital previews so you know exactly what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most full smile makeovers involve 8 to 20 veneers. The exact number depends on how many teeth are visible when you smile. Many patients start with the upper 8 to 10 teeth (the ones most visible) and then decide whether to extend to the lower teeth. Your dentist recommends the ideal number based on your smile line and the result you want.
A veneer covers only the front surface of the tooth and requires minimal preparation (about 0.5mm of enamel removed). A crown covers the entire tooth and requires more preparation. Veneers are primarily cosmetic, while crowns provide both cosmetic improvement and structural strength. Your dentist recommends the best option for each tooth based on its condition.
In the UK, a single porcelain veneer costs between £500 and £1,000. With The Health Store Turkey, the same veneer starts from £110 per tooth. For a full smile makeover of 20 veneers, you could save over £10,000. Your package covers all consultations, preparation, temporary veneers, and permanent veneers.
Yes. Modern porcelain veneers are handcrafted to mimic the translucency, colour gradient, and surface texture of natural teeth. Your dentist works with you to choose the right shade, from a subtle natural improvement to a brighter Hollywood smile. The best veneers look like beautiful, natural teeth rather than obviously artificial ones.
A typical veneer treatment requires 5 to 7 days in Turkey. Day 1 covers assessment and tooth preparation, followed by 3 to 4 days while your veneers are fabricated, and then 1 to 2 days for fitting and follow-up. Many patients combine their dental treatment with a holiday in Turkey.
