ABOUT DENTAL VENEERS IN TURKEY
For dental veneer by dentist in Turkey require up to 3 visits to the dentist. First visit is for a consultation which the dentist will examine the teeth and make sure that veneers are suitable. X-rays can be taken of the teeth and the dentist may make impressions of the mouth and teeth. In the second visit, the dentist will remove about 1/2 millimeter of the enamel from the tooth surface. Before trimming off the enamel, the dentist will decide whether there is a need for local anesthetic to numb the area. Then the dentist in Turkey will make a model or impression of the teeth, which will then be sent out to a dental laboratory to construct the veneer. Lastly on the third visit to the dentist, the dental veneer will be permanently cemented to the tooth after the dentist has temporarily placed it on the tooth and examined its fit and color. Before the veneer is applied, the tooth will be cleaned, polished and etched. Special cement is applied to the veneer and then the veneer is placed on the tooth. Once the position is fixed the dentist will apply a special light beam to the dental veneer, which will activate the chemicals in the cement causing it to harden or cure quicker. The last step is for the dentist to remove any excess cement evaluating the bite and making final adjustments.
