We know how you feel. You’ve been to your local dentist, and now you’re facing a huge bill — and you’re wondering whether you should have your treatment abroad in Turkey.
Veneer prices in the UK are much higher than in Turkey, for several reasons: dental education costs, laboratory costs, and workforce costs. After Brexit (see the impact of Brexit on oral health), there’s a huge supply-and-demand gap in dental services, with a shortage of dentists and long waiting lists. That’s why the term “Turkey teeth” has become so common — though the reality is very different from the negative stereotype.
At Smile Dental Turkey in Antalya, we’ve helped over 10,000 international patients transform their smiles with safe, affordable, confident dental treatment. The number of veneers each patient needs varies, so thanks to our free online consultation, you can find out exactly how many are right for you before you even travel.
We offer a comprehensive veneers package for patients receiving a full set of 20 veneers, covering your entire smile line for a complete smile makeover. We also offer free accommodation for 6 nights, pay half of your flight tickets (up to £200), and handle all your local and airport transfers.

What Is the Veneers Turkey Price? Full Set Cost for 2026
Working out the cost can be confusing, so we’ve kept our packages simple. Most patients need a 20-tooth package (10 top, 10 bottom), but you may need more or fewer depending on your case.
All materials have different uses, and some aren’t suitable for every patient.
Veneer / Crown Type | Best For | Package Price (Full Set of 20) |
Zirconium Porcelain Veneers/Crowns | All-round strength and a beautiful, bright smile. | £3,335 |
E.max Porcelain Veneers/Crowns | The most natural, life-like aesthetic results. | £4,250 |
Extra White Porcelain Veneers/Crowns | Achieving the "Extra White" 'Hollywood Smile' look. | £4,100 |
High Translucency Porcelain Veneers/Crowns | The perfect blend of E.max aesthetics & Zirconium strength. | £4,100 |
Metal Porcelain Veneers/Crowns | Best for long bridges and all on 4 dental Implants. | £2,500 |
Note: these are cash prices and include a 5% campaign discount. Card payments are 10% higher.
Is Turkey the Most Affordable Country for Veneers?
The answer is yes. We’ve compared countries and ranked the most affordable countries for veneers & crowns — Turkey is #1, and our all-inclusive veneer packages aren’t offered anywhere else.
Veneers Turkey Price Compared to the UK
One of the most common questions we get is: why is the veneers Turkey price so much lower than back home? The table below shows a direct comparison of per-tooth prices at Smile Dental Turkey versus typical UK clinic prices:
| Porcelain veneer / crown type | Price in Turkey (per tooth) | Typical UK price |
|---|---|---|
| E.max porcelain veneers/crowns | £213 | £700 – £1,500 |
| Zirconium porcelain veneers/crowns | £167 | £500 – £900 |
| Extra white porcelain veneers/crowns | £205 | £600 – £1,500 |
| High translucency porcelain veneers/crowns | £205 | £600 – £1,500 |
| Metal-porcelain veneers/crowns | £124 | £500 – £800 |
Turkey prices are our cash-payment prices per tooth; card payments are 10% higher. UK figures are typical private-practice ranges.
As you can see, patients choosing veneers in Turkey can save up to 80% per tooth compared with UK prices — without compromising on materials, technology, or expertise. Our zirconium veneers start from just £167 per tooth, while the same treatment in the UK typically costs between £500 and £900. For a full set of 20 veneers, that’s a saving of up to £14,660 — and, unlike UK clinics, our packages include hotel, airport transfers, and flight support, so the real saving is even greater.

Why Are Some Dental Quotes So Much Cheaper Than Ours?
We understand your concerns about price — travelling to a foreign country for treatment is confusing enough. We’re sharing these details to protect you: generally, all the best clinics in Turkey charge similar prices, so if one looks dramatically cheaper, ask why.
The phrase “porcelain veneers” alone tells you nothing about quality, because the core material is hidden beneath the porcelain. Some clinics won’t tell you they’re actually using a metal-porcelain crown (PFM), which isn’t ideal for long-term cosmetic use — while it’s covered in porcelain, its core is a dark metal alloy. This is the single biggest reason for surprising price differences. Cheap veneers don’t mean saving money; they mean risking your future dental health — and future costs. For what actually goes wrong when corners are cut, and how to spot a risky clinic before you pay a deposit, see our guide to Turkey teeth gone wrong.
What Is the Smile Line?
There are rules in dentistry we have to follow: we need to cover your smile line and give you a proper bite, so a quote can’t always match exactly what a patient requests. Simply put, the smile line refers to the number of teeth visible when you smile. Your dentist needs to see your smile line to say how many veneers you need for your makeover. For most people, that’s about 10 teeth on each jaw, which is why we generally offer a full set of 10 top and 10 bottom.
Everyone’s smile line is different, though, and in some cases — such as a gap or a bite problem — you may need more than the standard set. Around 95% of patients need 10 veneers or crowns per jaw to cover the smile line, but with bite issues like an overbite, underbite, or crossbite, a patient might need 12 or even 14 on one jaw.
Veneer Materials, Shapes, and Colours
You’ve decided on a big move for your smile — and we know how exciting (and confusing) it can be to choose the best option. Material names like zirconium, E-max, and metal-porcelain can be bewildering, and it’s fair to ask why some clinics only say “porcelain veneers” while others give the full details. Here’s what each material actually is.
Zirconium Porcelain Veneers & Crowns
You can see hundreds more real results like this in our turkey teeth before and after gallery.
Zirconium is the most common material in cosmetic dentistry. Technicians build zirconium veneers and crowns on a core of zirconium oxide — a remarkably strong, naturally white, 100% biocompatible ceramic — then layer it with high-quality porcelain for a beautiful, lifelike finish.
Zirconium is the ideal solution for:
- Complete cosmetic correction: perfect for covering and correcting underlying issues like severe staining, discolouration from root canal treatment, or large fillings.
- Restoring damaged teeth: its strength makes it the best choice for teeth weakened by decay or breakage.
- Achieving the “Hollywood smile”: its solid, opaque base gives complete control over the final tooth colour, making it the most popular choice for a flawless, bright, uniform smile.
We offer three zirconium options: standard, extra white, and high translucency.
Standard Zirconium — Prices
Standard zirconium porcelain veneers & crowns cost £167 per tooth.
Standard Zirconium — Before & After
Extra White Zirconium (Premium)
The Hollywood smile is popular worldwide, so we offer extra-white shades for patients who want a super-white finish. While all our zirconia crowns offer exceptional strength and beauty, this premium collection provides an unparalleled level of brightness and uniformity.
Why choose our extra-white zirconia?
- Ultimate brilliance: a specially formulated zirconia that achieves maximum whiteness for a vibrant, striking smile.
- Complete discolouration block: its opacity masks even severe underlying discolouration, dark fillings, or metal posts.
- Flawless aesthetics: every crown is made to a precise, brilliant white shade (often the coveted BL1), for a harmonised, dazzling result.
- Uncompromising strength: all the durability, chip-resistance, and biocompatibility of zirconia.
- The Hollywood standard: for patients seeking a truly transformative, red-carpet look.
Extra White Zirconium — Prices
Extra-white zirconium porcelain crowns cost £205 per tooth.
Extra White Zirconium — Before & After
Smile High-Translucency Zirconium (Premium)
What if you have missing, decayed, or root-treated teeth but still want a natural-looking makeover? You may not be a candidate for E-max — but we have a solution. Our high-translucency porcelain crowns block discolouration from root canals or dark staining, then use special layering techniques to create higher translucency than standard zirconium, for a beautiful “Natural Style” smile.
Smile high-translucency zirconium is ideal for patients who aren’t E-max candidates — you get the durability of zirconium and the aesthetics of E-max at the same time, even on teeth that E-max can’t cover.
Smile High-Translucency Zirconium — Prices
This unique product costs £205 per tooth.
Smile High-Translucency Zirconium — Before & After
E-max Porcelain Veneers & Crowns
E-max is one of the most natural-looking materials in dentistry, giving patients a beautifully natural smile. Its one limitation is that it can’t hide underlying faults — so if a tooth is decayed or root-treated, the translucency will show that through. E-max is therefore best suited to patients who already have healthy, well-aligned teeth without heavy discolouration; its beautiful translucency relies on a healthy foundation beneath.
E-max — Prices
E-max is our most expensive veneer, because of its unique material and production process. We charge £213 per tooth.
E-max — Before & After
E.max Laminate Veneers (Minimal-Prep)
Laminate veneers are the thinnest restoration we make — ultra-thin E.max shells bonded to the front of the tooth, removing only a fraction of a millimetre of enamel, and in some cases none at all. This is the conservative treatment people picture when they talk about “real veneers”, as opposed to the heavily filed-down teeth behind the “Turkey teeth” headlines. E.max laminate veneers cost £213 per tooth, the same as our E.max crowns, because the material and the lab process are identical. Lumineers are priced the same.
When laminate veneers are the right choice — and when they are not. Laminates work beautifully on teeth that are healthy, well aligned and undamaged, where the goal is colour, small chips or minor shape changes. They are not a solution for bite problems, crowding, an underbite or overbite, heavily worn or broken-down teeth, or grinding — in those cases the thin shell simply fails. We say this clearly before you book: if a patient asks for a full-mouth smile makeover in laminate veneers against our clinical advice, we will explain why we disagree, and if they still choose it we cannot guarantee the work. Laminate veneers and Lumineers carry a 2-year warranty, against 5 years in total on our zirconium and E.max crowns and full-porcelain veneers.
Composite Veneers — And Why We Do Not Offer Them
You will see composite veneers advertised across Turkey from around £125 per tooth, and they are the cheapest thing on most price lists. We do not offer them, and we would rather explain why than quietly leave them off the page.
Composite is a tooth-coloured resin shaped directly onto the tooth in the chair, not a ceramic made in a laboratory. It stains with tea, coffee and red wine, it chips at the edges, it dulls over a few years, and it typically needs replacing within 2 to 5 years. For a patient living locally and paying a small amount, that can be a reasonable choice. For a patient flying from the UK, paying for flights and a hotel, and unable to pop back for a repair, it is a poor investment — you would be travelling for a result that starts to look tired before your warranty is over. If your budget points towards composite, our honest advice is to treat fewer teeth in a proper ceramic material rather than more teeth in resin.
Metal-Porcelain Crowns (PFM)
This is the material that most often causes confusion in dental quotes. A metal-porcelain crown (PFM) has a dark metal alloy base with a layer of porcelain fused over it to look tooth-like. It costs £124 per tooth. The materials and lab process are more traditional, and therefore cheaper, than modern all-ceramic options like zirconium or E-max. PFM can be a reasonable option for back teeth, but it has significant cosmetic drawbacks:
- Lack of natural appearance: the metal base blocks light, preventing the natural translucency that makes a crown look real.
- The “dark line” effect: as the gum recedes over time, the dark metal edge can show as an unattractive grey line.
- Aesthetic mismatch: it simply can’t match zirconium or E-max, making it an outdated choice for a Hollywood smile.
Veneer & Crown Colours
There are different colour palettes for different needs. We generally use Vita Master shades for standard veneers and crowns, and we also offer extra-white options (such as “EW”) for our extra-white zirconium porcelain crowns.
Dental Veneer & Crown Shape Styles

While countless shapes are possible, we use the LVI Smile Library to help you choose a proven style — it features the 12 most popular, universally flattering veneer shapes used by top dentists worldwide. We create your unique look by carefully shaping the veneers on your six front teeth (the incisors and canines), adjusting several features:
- Tooth corners: more square, slightly rounded, or fully rounded.
- Canine shape: a sharp point, a gentle curve, or a straight edge.
- Tooth length: the length of your side teeth relative to your front teeth, for a softer or more dramatic look.
According to the LVI Smile Library, porcelain veneers can be grouped into 12 styles, each conveying a different character:
- Aggressive: square, rounded central and lateral incisors with gently curved or semi-straight canines — a strong look suited to both men and women.
- Dominant: square, rounded central incisors, rounded outer corners on the lateral incisors, and sharply pointed canines; the lateral incisors sit slightly higher than the central incisors.
- Enhanced: slightly rounded edges on both central and lateral incisors, with the laterals a little higher for a “gull-wing” look and bluntly pointed canines — one of the most popular, photogenic styles.
- Focused: like Enhanced, but with square central incisors without rounded edges.
- Functional: like Enhanced, but with more pointed canines.
- Hollywood: like Aggressive, but with the lateral incisors slightly offset or shorter — a popular choice that shows plenty of teeth without being overly aggressive.
- Mature: like Aggressive, but with slightly more pointed canines.
- Natural: like Enhanced, but with more pointed canines.
- Oval: like Aggressive, but with all the incisors and canines taking a more rounded, oval shape.
- Softened: like Oval, but with a less pronounced curve to the tooth edges.
- Vigorous: like Aggressive, but with more pronounced, protruding canines.
- Youthful: like Oval, but with more pronounced, protruding canines.
As a general guide: rounded edges look softer, younger, and more feminine (Enhanced, Natural, Oval, Softened, and Youthful are great choices), while flatter or squarer teeth look more masculine and dominant (Aggressive, Dominant, Hollywood, Mature, and Vigorous). The Functional and Natural styles suit both men and women, as they combine rounded edges with stronger, sharper canine lines.
Why Is Turkey More Affordable for Veneers?
You might wonder how our veneers can cost a fraction of UK or US prices. It has nothing to do with cutting corners — it’s economics. Turkey has a lower cost of living, our dental lab fees are lower, the government supports medical tourism, and favourable exchange rates all help us offer premium treatment at competitive prices. That’s why patients choose Turkey for value, not just savings. At Smile Dental Turkey, we use the exact same materials and technology trusted by top clinics worldwide — you’re not compromising on quality, you’re simply paying what the treatment should cost.

How Long Does It Take to Get Veneers in Turkey?
A full set of veneers takes 5 working days, so we recommend booking your stay for at least 6 nights. The treatment itself is quick, but we need around 48 hours to craft your veneers or crowns in our lab before we begin your trials. Here’s what to expect:
- Day 1: Consultation, documentation, smile design, and preparation of your teeth (usually 1–2 hours), followed by temporary teeth (about 3 hours).
- Days 2–3: Your custom veneers are crafted in our lab using advanced CAD/CAM technology.
- Day 4: Trial fitting, to ensure a perfect fit and appearance.
- Day 5: Final placement of your veneers — and your brand-new smile.
For a clearer picture, watch our smile makeover instructions video.
Temporary Teeth
After your teeth are prepared, they’ll be quite sensitive, so you’ll wear temporary teeth and can carry on with normal life in the meantime. Temporary teeth are made of acrylic, and they won’t be the same colour or shape as your final veneers.
How Long Do Veneers & Crowns Last?
Dental crowns can last 10 to 15 years, while laminate veneers typically last 5 to 7 years. The lifespan of any restoration depends on:
- Your oral hygiene habits
- Whether you grind or clench your teeth
- Regular dental check-ups and cleanings
We’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions and honest advice, because we want your new smile to last as long as possible. All our work is backed by our treatment warranties.
Dental Veneers or Dental Crowns?
This is one of the most common questions we get. A dental crown provides a strong, long-lasting structure, while a veneer is a more conservative, cosmetic option. We’ve written a detailed comparison of the pros and cons in our guide to dental veneers vs dental crowns.
Veneers Turkey Reviews — Real Patients, Real Smiles
We could talk all day about our state-of-the-art 3D scanners, VIP airport transfers, and premium zirconium materials — but honestly, the best way to understand what we do is to hear from the people who’ve already sat in our chairs. Whether you want a blindingly bright Hollywood transformation or a perfectly imperfect natural look, we design your veneers and crowns exactly the way you want them. Here are just a few of our favourite journeys, and you can read many more on our verified reviews page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the veneers Turkey price for a full set?
A full set of 20 is £3,335, fully all-inclusive with hotel, transfers and flight support. Per tooth, zirconium is £167 and E.max or laminate veneers are £213. These are cash prices; card payments are 10% higher.
Are veneers permanent?
Veneers are a long-term solution but may eventually need replacing. Some enamel is removed during preparation, so the treatment is irreversible — which is exactly why a clinic should decline to fit them on healthy teeth that do not need them.
How many days do I need to stay in Turkey?
Most veneer and crown treatments are completed in 5 to 7 days in a single visit. Dental implants normally require two visits: 5 to 7 days for placement, then a return trip of 5 to 7 days three to six months later to fit the final crowns. You receive your exact schedule after your consultation.
Can I choose the colour and shape of my veneers?
Yes. We use Digital Smile Design to help you choose the shade, shape and style that suits your face, and you approve the design before any physical work begins.
Do I need to pay in advance?
No. Only a small deposit secures your booking; most patients pay the balance in person at the clinic after treatment. We explain all options clearly before you travel.
Which currencies do you accept?
We accept GBP, Euro and USD. For pounds we can only accept Bank of England notes — Scottish and Northern Irish notes are not accepted by Turkish banks. Please do not exchange money into Turkish Lira before arrival; we do not require it and you would lose on the exchange rate.
Can I pay by card and still get the 10% discount?
No. The additional 10% discount applies to cash payment only. Card prices are around 10% higher than the cash prices shown, and any transaction or exchange-rate fees are charged by your own bank rather than by us.
How do I qualify for free accommodation and flight support?
Your treatment plan needs to total more than £3,250. At that point the Turkey Teeth Package is included free: six nights’ hotel, VIP transfers and up to £200 towards your flights, rising to £300 if you travel in August or December.
Will I have free accommodation for each visit?
Yes, provided each visit exceeds the £3,250 threshold in its own right. For implant cases split across two trips, the free hotel stay and transfers apply to each qualifying visit separately.
Do you have any hidden costs?
No. Our prices are the same for local and international patients — we do not price by nationality. Your free consultation includes a panoramic X-ray, 3D tomography and oral examination, and we do not charge separately for dental products, laboratory costs, dentist fees or injections. The quoted price is the completed price.
Do you have CAD/CAM, 3D scanning, CT and X-ray on site?
Yes. We take a 3D intraoral scan of your mouth and mill all veneers by CAD/CAM in our own laboratory to those measurements. An online consultation cannot produce a fully accurate plan on its own — we confirm your treatment at the clinic with a CT scan and panoramic X-ray. For dental implants we need at least a panoramic X-ray even to give an online estimate. See our dental clinic page for details.
Do you have a No Worries warranty?
Yes. Our No Worries warranty covers revision visits within 365 days, including flights up to £200, six hotel nights and transfers. Dental implant screws carry a lifetime guarantee. Dental crowns and full-porcelain E.max veneers carry 5 years in total — one year of No Worries cover plus a four-year workmanship guarantee — while laminate veneers and Lumineers carry 2 years.
How long do crowns and veneers typically last?
A dental crown lasts 10 to 15 years on average, and with excellent care and regular check-ups can last 20 years or more. Porcelain veneers are similarly durable, typically lasting 10 to 15 years or longer.
To make them last: brush and floss daily to keep the tooth underneath healthy, keep your regular professional check-ups, avoid chewing ice or pens or opening packages with your teeth, and wear a night guard if you grind.
Do you help with accommodation and airport transfers?
Yes. Every treatment package includes free VIP airport transfers in both directions, free private hotel-to-clinic transfers for every appointment, and exclusive rates at our 4-star and 5-star partner hotels, all close to the clinic.
What is the process from start to finish for a UK patient?
- Free online consultation: you send photos of your teeth and any recent X-rays, and we schedule a free video call with a dentist to discuss your goals.
- Personal treatment plan: we produce a detailed plan and a transparent, all-inclusive quote with no hidden fees.
- Book your trip: once you are happy, our team books your appointments and can help you find flights.
- VIP arrival: our driver meets you at Antalya Airport and takes you to your hotel.
- Treatment: you are collected from your hotel for every appointment.
- Fly home: after your final check-up our driver takes you back to the airport.
Why is the Turkey veneers price so much more affordable?
The lower price has nothing to do with lower quality. It comes from three things: lower operating costs for running a high-tech clinic, including lab fees and salaries; a favourable exchange rate between the pound and the lira; and our own on-site CAD/CAM laboratory, which removes expensive third-party lab fees and gives us full quality control. We use the same materials as premium UK clinics.
How do I know whether I need veneers or crowns?
This is what the free online consultation is for. You send clear photos of your teeth — smiling, and from the left and right. Our specialists assess the general condition, shape and alignment, and give you a draft plan: whether you look like a good candidate for veneers, or whether a large existing filling means specific teeth will need crowns instead.
When you arrive in Antalya we take a free 3D CBCT scan and panoramic X-ray. That is the step that shows what is happening inside the teeth — hidden decay or root problems — and confirms which treatment is genuinely the safest long-term option.
What are the typical turnaround times for lab work?
We have our own in-house dental laboratory in the same building, so we never send your case to an outside lab. That saves time, allows immediate quality control, and lets our dentists and master technicians work side by side on your case. For a full smile makeover of 16 to 20 veneers or crowns, fabrication takes as little as 48 to 72 hours — which is why the whole treatment takes 5 to 7 days here against several weeks or months in the UK.
What types of veneers are used in Turkish dental clinics?
Zirconium. Made from zirconium dioxide, often called ceramic steel for its strength. Used as a full crown or a veneer. Best for teeth needing both cosmetic improvement and structural support — dark, heavily filled or fractured teeth, since zirconium’s opacity fully masks discolouration, and back teeth exposed to heavy biting forces.
E.max. Lithium disilicate glass ceramic by Ivoclar Vivadent, prized for translucency that mimics natural enamel. Strong despite being thin, allowing minimal preparation. Best for the front smile line.
Lumineers. An ultra-thin patented brand requiring little or no removal of tooth surface.
We do not offer composite veneers — resin stains and chips and typically lasts two to five years, which is poor value for a patient flying from the UK.
How do I verify the credentials of veneer dentists in Turkey?
Verifying your dentist’s expertise is essential, and everything about ours is checkable. Full CVs and academic qualifications for every dentist are published on our website. Our cosmetic dentists are specialists in prosthodontics, meaning three to four years of additional university training focused on smile design, veneers and crowns. All practitioners are licensed members of the Turkish Dental Association (TDB), and each registration is independently verifiable on the government’s HealthTürkiye portal. The clinic itself is authorised by the Turkish Ministry of Health to treat international patients. We provide official licence and registration numbers on request.
