Medical Plus Istanbul - veneers
When veneers are placed, the tooth is usually shaved down slightly — the amount depends on the material, bite alignment, and how crooked or protruded the teeth are.
On average:
0.5 mm is roughly the thickness of a bank card.
But here’s the important part many clinics avoid mentioning in marketing.
If the patient has:
On average:
- Composite veneers → about 0.2–0.5 mm
- Porcelain veneers → about 0.3–0.7 mm
- In some cases, “no-prep” veneers are possible with little to no shaving, but they are not suitable for everyone.
0.5 mm is roughly the thickness of a bank card.
But here’s the important part many clinics avoid mentioning in marketing.
If the patient has:
- severely crooked teeth,
- protruding teeth,
- dark discoloration,
- large teeth,
- or wants an extremely white “Hollywood smile,”
then more reduction may be necessary, sometimes approaching the level of a crown preparation. That’s where the line between conservative cosmetic work and aggressive shaving starts to matter.
A good dentist tries to:
“We never shave teeth at all,” — that is often marketing.
If they say:
“We shave teeth down to small pegs” for regular veneers — that can be a red flag.
A good dentist tries to:
- preserve as much enamel as possible,
- avoid going deep into dentin,
- avoid unnecessary root canal treatment,
- and design the smile naturally to fit the patient’s face instead of creating an artificial oversized look.
“We never shave teeth at all,” — that is often marketing.
If they say:
“We shave teeth down to small pegs” for regular veneers — that can be a red flag.
- Patients today are much more informed and many are afraid of excessive tooth reduction — and honestly, they should be careful, because enamel does not grow back.

Veneers are ultra-thin ceramic or zirconium shells placed on the front surface of the teeth to create the perfect shape, color, and symmetry for your smile.
The procedure is completely painless and does not require significant shaving of the enamel. Veneers conceal irregularities, stains, cracks, and gaps between teeth, giving the smile a natural harmony.

- 🦷 Veneers are the art of a smile, custom-tailored for you.
The average service life of veneers is about 10 years; however, with proper care and regular check-ups, they can maintain a perfect appearance for significantly longer.
The quality of materials, careful eating habits, and hygiene directly impact the durability of the coating.

- Medical Plus uses only trusted laboratories and premium materials to ensure your smile remains perfect for many years.
No, veneers do not change color over time. Ceramic and zirconium have a dense structure that does not absorb pigments from coffee, wine, tobacco, or food, so their shade remains stable for many years. The shine and whiteness stay just as they were on the day of placement—provided there is regular hygiene and professional cleaning by a dentist. Medical Plus guarantees the use of only original, certified materials that are completely resistant to staining and loss of luster.
The installed veneers come with a 5-year clinic warranty and an additional 15-year warranty from Medical Plus.
The warranty covers:
The warranty covers:

E-max and zirconium are modern, durable, and aesthetic materials used for the fabrication of veneers. The choice depends on the goals of the treatment and the individual characteristics of the patient.
- E-max (lithium disilicate ceramic): Ideal for front teeth. It is highly translucent and thin, mimicking the natural luster of enamel to create the flawless aesthetics of a "Hollywood smile."
- Zirconium: A stronger material that is highly resistant to stress. It is recommended for side teeth or for patients who prioritize durability and reliability during chewing.
- Medical Plus selects the material individually, often combining the aesthetics of E-max with the strength of zirconium to ensure your smile is not only beautiful but also long-lasting.
