This Canvas is the guide to the steps you will take to achieve the smile of your dreams in the peaceful atmosphere of Didim.
What are Full Mouth Dental Veneers and What is Their Purpose?
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made porcelain or composite layers adhered to the front surface of the teeth, used to improve the color, shape, size, and alignment of the teeth. “Full mouth” veneering generally refers to the veneering of all the aesthetic zone teeth in the upper and lower jaws (usually 20 to 28 teeth). This treatment is applied to eliminate aesthetic imperfections such as severe discoloration, fractures, cracks, wear, gaps between teeth (diastema), or mild crowding, and to give the patient a completely new, symmetrical, and white smile.
Who is Suitable for Full Mouth Veneers?
Full mouth dental veneering is suitable for adults who are unhappy with their aesthetic appearance and have good general oral health (without gum disease, decay, etc.). Patients with severe structural defects, large fillings, advanced wear, or discoloration in their teeth benefit greatly from veneers. An important criterion is that the patient has sufficient tooth enamel, as usually a minimal amount of tooth surface grinding is necessary for the veneers to be bonded. Patients with habits such as teeth grinding (bruxism) may need to receive treatment for this condition first.
What is the Difference Between Zirconia and E-max Veneer Types?
The two most popular types of veneers widely used in the market are Zirconia and E-max.
- Zirconia: Has high durability and longevity. Thanks to its more opaque structure, it is very successful in covering the color of dark-colored or metal-filled teeth. It is ideal for posterior teeth and bridge prostheses.
- E-max (Lithium Disilicate): It is the highest level of aesthetic veneer. Its light transmittance (translucency) is very close to that of natural teeth, which gives it depth and vitality. It is an excellent choice for anterior teeth and single tooth veneers, but its durability is slightly lower than zirconia.
How are Porcelain Laminate Veneers Used in Full Mouth Treatment?
Porcelain Laminate veneers (leaf porcelain) are ultra-thin porcelains applied to the front surface of the teeth with very little grinding (sometimes none at all). They are generally applied only to the anterior 8-10 teeth in the upper and lower jaws. When it comes to full-mouth aesthetics, Laminates can be combined for high aesthetics on the front teeth, and Zirconia veneers can be used for resistance to chewing forces on the back teeth. Laminates are the most preferred type of aesthetic veneer today because they are minimally invasive.
How Long Does the Full Mouth Dental Veneer Procedure Take?
Full mouth dental veneer treatment is generally completed in two main stages and two different visits.
- First Visit (5-7 Days): Detailed examination, digital smile design (DSD), preparation (grinding) of the teeth, and placement of temporary teeth.
- Waiting Period (3-4 Months): Bone/gum healing and the patient getting used to the temporary teeth are awaited (Remote follow-up).
- Second Visit (5-7 Days): Trial of permanent veneers, final adjustments, and bonding. The total process usually requires two separate trips, ranging from 10 to 14 days in terms of the duration of stay in Turkey.
Is Pain Felt During the Veneer Application?
No, patients do not feel pain during the dental veneer application. The preparation (grinding) of the tooth surfaces is done under local anesthesia. This ensures that the procedure takes place in a completely numb environment. It is normal to feel mild sensitivity or a temporary ache in the gums when the effect of the anesthesia wears off. This discomfort is easily controlled with simple painkillers prescribed by the physician and usually subsides within the first 24 hours.
Why is Digital Smile Design (DSD) Important Before Treatment?
Digital Smile Design (DSD) is a technology that allows the shape and size of the veneers to be designed in a computer environment by analyzing the patient’s face shape, lip line, skin color, and aesthetic expectations. In this way, the physician and the patient can see the final result of the veneers before the treatment begins with 3D simulations or temporary models called “Mock-ups.” DSD is a critical step that maximizes the success of the treatment and patient satisfaction, as the patient gives consent knowing what they will achieve beforehand.
How Durable are Dental Veneers and What is Their Lifespan?
Quality porcelain and zirconia veneers can be used for 10 to 20 years with proper oral care and regular check-ups. The most important factors determining the lifespan of the veneers are the quality of the material used (premium brands preferred by Cure Holiday), the physician’s application technique, and the patient’s correct use of the veneers (avoiding biting hard objects and bruxism treatment). Even if the veneer itself does not wear out, it may need to be renewed due to changes in the natural tooth or gum underneath over time.
What is the Role of Temporary Teeth in the Full Mouth Veneer Process?
Immediately after the teeth are ground for the veneer, temporary teeth are placed to prevent the patient from being toothless and to prevent tooth sensitivity. Temporary teeth provide aesthetics, chewing function, and speaking comfort while the permanent veneers are being prepared in the laboratory. They also serve as a preliminary trial for the physician in terms of the shape and function of the permanent veneers. Cure Holiday clinics use high-quality and natural-looking temporary teeth to ensure patients’ social lives are not disrupted.
How is the Gum Healing Period Managed After Treatment?
It is natural for slight irritation and swelling to occur in the gums after the teeth are prepared for the veneer. The complete disappearance of this irritation and the return of the gums to a healthy pink color are critical for the perfect placement of the permanent veneers. This healing period usually lasts between 3 and 6 weeks, but it can extend up to 3-4 months when treatments are combined with implants while waiting for bone integration. Cure Holiday provides patients with special mouthwash and care instructions to accelerate healing.
Main Factors Affecting the Cost of Full Mouth Veneers
Full mouth veneer costs, like implant prices, depend on many variables:
- Veneer Material: Choice of Zirconia, E-max, or Laminate Porcelain. E-max and Laminate are generally more expensive.
- Number of Teeth: How many teeth in the full mouth (20, 24, 28) will be veneered.
- Additional Treatments: The necessity of mandatory additional procedures such as bridge, root canal treatment, or gum aesthetics (pink aesthetics).
- Physician and Clinic Expertise: The experience of the surgeon and aesthetic dentist and the technological quality of the laboratory used.
- Package Content: The inclusion of additional services such as accommodation, transfer, and warranty offered by Cure Holiday in the package.
Which Teeth Need to be Ground in Dental Veneer Treatment?
The amount of grinding varies according to the type of veneer. In Laminate porcelain veneers (Laminates), only a very small layer of enamel, such as 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm, is ground. In Zirconia and E-max crowns, as more durability and thickness are required, generally 1 mm to 1.5 mm of thinning is done from all surfaces of the tooth. The amount of grinding is determined by the physician based on the current position of the tooth, color, and the desired final result.
What is the Difference Between Full Mouth Veneers and Single Veneers?
A single tooth veneer generally aims to correct only the color and shape of that tooth to match the adjacent teeth. Full mouth veneering, on the other hand, aims to recreate the entire smile, ensure symmetry, determine an ideal bite suitable for the jaw structure, and establish a new color tone. Full mouth treatment requires much more comprehensive planning in terms of aesthetics and function and results in a much greater transformation.
How Should Nutrition Be After Veneer Treatment?
In the first few days after the veneer treatment is completed (especially while temporary veneers are in place), very hot and cold foods should be avoided. Patients can return to their normal diet after permanent veneers are bonded. However, it is important to avoid biting very hard (ice, nuts) and sticky foods to prolong the lifespan of the veneers. Cure Holiday physicians provide detailed nutrition and chewing recommendations for the long-term preservation of the veneers.
Is There an Age Limit for Dental Veneer Treatment?
In dental veneer treatment, there is a lower age limit, similar to implant treatment. The teeth and jawbone must have completed their development, which is usually 18 years and older. Veneer application in young people whose development is not complete may lead to problems as the gums and jaw structure develop. There is no upper age limit; any adult with a suitable general health condition can receive veneer treatment.
How is Color Selection Made for Veneers and How is Naturalness Ensured?
The color of the veneers is determined by taking into account the patient’s skin tone, eye color, and expectations. For the most natural results, the veneers must include not only white but also the slight opacity, translucency, and color transitions found in natural teeth. Cure Holiday clinics select the most suitable and natural color with digital color analysis devices and DSD technology that considers the patient’s wishes. Very white tones, such as the “Hollywood Smile,” can also be chosen, but naturalness is always prioritized.
What are the Additional Procedures That May Be Needed in Treatment?
Additional procedures are often required before starting full mouth veneer treatment:
- Root Canal Treatment/Filling: Addressing existing decay or nerve problems before veneering.
- Gum Aesthetics (Pink Aesthetics): Adjusting gum levels for the veneers to look more aesthetic.
- Tooth Extraction: Extraction of teeth that are in poor condition or cannot be saved (in which case an implant may also be necessary).
- Bone Grafting: Applied if an implant is required and bone is insufficient. Cure Holiday plans all these additional procedures in an integrated manner under one roof.
Is Local Anesthesia or Sedation Preferred in Veneer Application?
The preparation (grinding) of the teeth for the veneer is usually performed completely painlessly with local anesthesia. However, in cases of long-lasting procedures such as full mouth veneering or situations where the patient has high anxiety, conscious sedation (a semi-sleep state) may be preferred to ensure greater comfort. Sedation allows the patient to relax while enabling them to respond to the physician’s instructions. Cure Holiday offers sedation accompanied by experienced anesthesiologists to increase patient comfort.
Are Teeth Brushed While Dental Veneers are in Place?
Yes, teeth must be brushed regularly and meticulously, just like natural teeth, after dental veneers are placed. Veneers do not decay, but the area between the edges of the veneer and the gum and the natural tooth underneath are susceptible to decay. Brushing at least twice a day, using dental floss, and special interdental brushes to clean the edges of the veneers are vital for both extending the lifespan of the veneers and maintaining gum health. Regular hygiene is the key to the long-term success of veneer treatment.
Why are the Aegean Region and Didim Standing Out for Dental Treatment?
Didim stands out in health tourism because it offers high-quality dental services (especially aesthetic veneers) at costs far below those in Western countries. Furthermore, Didim’s geographical location and tourist amenities allow patients to combine the treatment process with rest and vacation. The ease of access, modern clinics, and experienced physician staff of the Aegean Region make it a safe and economical choice for international patients.
Why are Full Mouth Veneer Prices Economical in the Kusadasi Region?
Didim and its surrounding area are known for the affordable healthcare services they offer. The primary reasons why full mouth veneers are less expensive than in Europe or the United States are:
- Exchange Rate Advantage: The value difference of foreign currency against the Turkish Lira.
- Low Operating Costs: Clinic rents, labor, and general operational expenses are lower than in the West.
- Government Support: Incentives provided for health tourism. These factors enable even premium quality materials to be offered at more affordable prices.
Veneer Cost in Didim: Comparison Between Turkey vs. European Countries
The cost of full mouth dental veneering can range between €15,000 and €30,000 in European countries (e.g., UK, Germany), while the same quality Zirconia or E-max veneers can be done at a much lower cost with Cure Holiday packages in Didim. Patients can use this large cost difference to cover the costs of flights, luxury accommodation, and vacation. This reflects Turkey’s principle of offering “High Quality at an Affordable Price.”
Quality Standards and Accreditations of Clinics Around Kusadasi
The clinics and hospitals contracted by Cure Holiday in Didim and surrounding provinces (Izmir) have high hygiene and service quality standards. These clinics may hold international accreditations such as JCI (Joint Commission International) in addition to the supervision of the Turkish Ministry of Health. These accreditations confirm that the quality, safety, and hygiene of the services provided are accepted globally.
The International Success and Experience of Turkish Aesthetic Dentists
Turkey is home to internationally educated and experienced physicians with a worldwide reputation in the field of aesthetic dentistry. Turkish physicians achieve globally recognized successful results in this field, which requires high precision and artistic skill, especially in smile design and veneer applications. Cure Holiday brings its patients together only with experts who are proven in this field and have high references.
The Health Tourism and Holiday Advantage of Receiving Treatment in Didim
Receiving full mouth veneer treatment in Didim offers the opportunity to combine the healing process with the comfort of a holiday. Patients can enjoy the sunny weather, historical sites, and the relaxing atmosphere of the Aegean in Didim between the two stages of treatment (or afterward). This “health holiday” concept reduces the mental stress caused by the treatment and allows the patient to enjoy the aesthetic result faster.
Accommodation and Transportation Facilities During Veneer Treatment
Access to Didim is generally provided via Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) due to its proximity. Cure Holiday arranges luxurious boutique hotels or apartments in Didim that are close to the clinic, peaceful, and hygienic for the comfort of the patients. All V.I.P transfer services from the airport to the accommodation facility and to clinic appointments are organized by Cure Holiday, eliminating all the logistical stress of the patient in a foreign country.
When is the Most Ideal Season for Full Mouth Veneers?
Although there is no specific seasonal restriction for veneer treatment in Didim, Spring (April-May) and Autumn (September-October) are the most ideal periods. The air temperatures during these seasons are perfect for sightseeing and resting, which makes the treatment process more enjoyable. Treatment is possible even in the summer months, but Cure Holiday usually recommends spring or autumn because excessive heat can increase post-surgical swelling.
Oral and Gum Care During the Post-Treatment Recovery Process
After the permanent veneers are placed, meticulous care is required for the gums to fully heal and adapt to the veneers. The use of a soft-bristled toothbrush, special dental floss, and mouthwash recommended by the doctor is mandatory. Keeping the area where the veneer meets the gum clean is vital for preserving the “pink aesthetic” result and extending the lifespan of the veneer. Cure Holiday provides patients with detailed written instructions on this matter.

Frequently Asked Questions: Do Veneers Fall Off or Change Color?
Veneers do not easily fall off when the correct bonding technique is used. In terms of color change, porcelain veneers are highly resistant to external factors such as smoking, coffee, or tea and retain their original color. While composite veneers may change color over time, the premium porcelain and zirconia veneers preferred by Cure Holiday maintain color stability for years.
