What Are Dental Veneers? 🦷✨

Dental veneer are thin shells of either porcelain or composite that are attached to the front side of your teeth. They are primarily used to improve the color, give a desired shape and also to be a visual treat to the person they smile to. Veneers work great for:

  • Discolored or yellowed teeth
  • Chipped or cracked teeth
  • Teeth that are slightly misaligned
  • Spaces (gaps) between teeth

In Lema Dental Clinic, Istanbul, our skilled medical artist with an infusion of technology from top-notch laboratories take the exact color and decide the shade that will be most suitable for your face, lips, and overall look.

Why Veneer Shade Selection Matters 🎨

Why Veneer Shade Selection Matters 🎨

Selecting the proper veneer shade is not only about finding the “whitest” one. The shade you choose will influence :

  • How the dental work will look: It can appear a little bit off if the veneers are either too bright or too dull.
  • Facial softness: Your skin tone, eye color, and even hair color are some of the factors that play a role in picking a shade that fits you.
  • Mentality: Right shades are self-esteem boosters and make you look bright.

Tip: Dental veneers must have the same light transmittance as natural teeth with small gaps, highlights, and a texture to be visually indistinguishable.
