I find that when it comes to dental veneers before and after, the visual transformation is truly remarkable. These images vividly demonstrate the significant improvements in tooth color, shape, and alignment that can be achieved through the use of dental veneers.
What are Dental Veneers?
The modern dental veneers are made for patients are thin, tooth-coloured shells that are attached to the surface of your teeth to improve their appearance.
They are either made from porcelain or from a composite resin to suit your needs. Once they have been made, they are bonded to the selected teeth to give you the smile you have always wanted.

Veneers Before and After Process: Types of Veneers Available
There are different veneers available based on your preference, requirements, or your needs. Each material has a different set of advantages and disadvantages to consider when going for dental veneers before and after the procedure. Going for dental veneers in Turkey is an investment in yourself and should restore your confidence as well as your smile.
Dental veneers are normally custom-made from either porcelain or from a composite resin to address your specific needs. Both these materials have some prep work that needs to be done on the tooth before they can be applied. There are also “no-prep” dental veneers available on the market but they tend to be a temporary solution in most cases. They may end up costing you more money as they need regular replacement.
Dental veneers before and after require the tooth to be prepared in order for the dental veneers to be applied. Your dentist or specialist will grind down your tooth. The level of grinding will differ between individuals and what they hope to achieve with dental veneers. It is irreversible and may sometimes require a local anaesthetic to be administered. When opting for dental veneers, it is important to consider the following:
- The cost
- Length of time needed for the dental veneers to be installed
- The appearance of the dental veneer
- Longevity of the dental veneers
- Your dentist or specialists recommendations for you
Porcelain Dental Veneers
When opting for a porcelain dental veneer, your dentist or specialist will start the procedure by grinding down your tooth into the shape or form needed and then making an impression of it on a mould. This impression is then used to make your dental veneers.
Once your dental veneer is ready, it will be cemented onto your tooth and you will have your desired smile. It is possible for a local anaesthetic to be administered during this procedure.
Porcelain dental veneers overview:
- Tends to be more expensive
- May require multiple visits. Session when mould is made of the teeth, and the session when it is applied
- Are stronger
- Are long-lasting
- Are much less likely to stain (preferred choice for smokers)

Composite Resin Dental Veneers
Should you opt for dental veneers made from a composite resin, your dentist or specialist will carve a pattern on the surface of your tooth and then start applying the composite resin layer for layer on that prepared tooth. The pattern is used to provide some traction to ensure the composite resin remains in place.
When the dentist is satisfied with the look and the tooth structure has been restored, then the tooth will be cured into place with a specialised light.
Composite resin dental veneers overview:
- Less tooth is removed during preparation
- Can be applied in one visit
- Less expensive
- Lasts for 5 – 10 years

Benefits of Dental Veneers
There are a whole array of benefits when opting for dental veneers before and after, from improving the appearance of your smile to allowing you to have a brighter, more uniform smile. Along with them being a semi-permanent investment, they will give you back the confidence in your smile. They also offer the following cosmetic benefits, such as:
- Restoration of broken or chipped teeth
- Restoring severe discolouration that can’t be fixed with whitening
- Closing the gaps between teeth
- Allowing smaller-than-average teeth for a normal size
- Allowing pointed or usually shaped teeth to have a normal appearance
Preparing For Your Appointment
Prior to your appointment where you receive your dental veneers, your dentist will first discuss your options with you and recommend what they think is best. They will evaluate your options by inspecting your teeth and taking an x-ray to determine your teeth structure and if there are any underlying conditions that they should be aware of. This is all part of the dental veneers before and after the procedure. Should you have:
- Tooth Decay
- Have gum disease
- A need for a root canal
Then you may not be a viable candidate for dental veneers. There are other procedures available for you, such as dental crowns. However, if you do qualify for dental veneers, then the dentist will start to file down your teeth to make space for your dental veneers to be placed and then they will take the moulding to make the dental veneers.
The dentist will then also clean your teeth thoroughly. This will ensure that there are no bacteria present that can cause damage to the tooth after the dental veneer has been placed. They will then use a tool to roughen your tooth to ensure the cement applied has a grip and won’t be dislodged during or after the dental veneer procedure.
After this has been completed, then the dental veneer can be applied and the appointment will come to an end leaving you with a brilliant aesthetic smile.
Taking Care Of Your Dental Veneers
The care and consideration taken with your dental veneers before and after will greatly influence your satisfaction with the dental veneers as well as the success of your procedure. With dental veneers, your recovery time is almost instant. As soon as the anaesthetic has worn off, you should be able to continue as you normally would.
It is important to be conscious of your teeth in the first few days and abstain from chewing your cheeks or tongue. It is also possible for your dental veneers to feel a bit rough. This feeling will subside within the first few days as any extra cement will wear away from your eating pattern and oral hygiene maintenance. If it should not wear away, please contact your specialist to have them aid you.
In order for your dental veneers before and after to last as long as possible, it is advisable for you to take the following precautions, including:
- Refraining from chewing on ice, pens, and/or fingernails
- Do not use your teeth to open packages
- Refrain from chewing with your front teeth. Use your molars and ensure you cut food into manageable pieces
- Should you grind your teeth, get a retainer made to protect your dental veneers
- Wear a mouthguard when you are playing sports
- Avoid tough meats
- Avoid sticky foods such as caramel and candies
- Refrain from foods that could possibly dye your veneers such as tomatoes, cola, and berries

FAQ
Here are some answers to frequently asked questions regarding dental bonding before and after.
Your oral hygiene program will greatly influence the lifespan of your dental veneers. Porcelain dental veneers can last between 10 – 15 years. Composite resin has to have a shorter life span between 5 – 10 years.
There are many patients with similar concerns, luckily, they do not ruin or damage your teeth after they have been cemented into place.
It is not recommended that you use traditional whitening products as it will influence your natural teeth but not your dental veneers. This can lead to a colour variation between your natural teeth and the dental veneer.
Your dental veneers are not able to get cavities, however, your natural teeth are still able to decay. It is important to maintain proper oral hygiene to ensure it does not happen.
