Are you dreaming of a flawless, confident smile? Porcelain veneers have revolutionized cosmetic dentistry, offering a perfect solution for those seeking to transform their smile quickly and effectively. At Laviva Clinic Istanbul, we proudly offer premium porcelain veneer treatments that combine cutting-edge technology with exceptional artistry to deliver stunning, natural-looking results at a fraction of the cost compared to Western countries.

What Are Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin, custom-made shells crafted from high-quality dental porcelain that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. These precisely designed shells instantly transform the appearance of your teeth by improving their shape, size, color, and alignment. The result is a bright, symmetrical, and natural-looking smile that enhances your overall appearance and boosts your confidence.

At Laviva Clinic, our porcelain veneers are meticulously crafted using premium materials and advanced techniques to ensure exceptional durability and aesthetic appeal.

Why Choose Porcelain Veneers?

Porcelain veneers offer numerous benefits that make them one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments worldwide:

  • Natural Appearance: The translucent properties of porcelain closely mimic natural tooth enamel, creating a lifelike appearance
  • Stain Resistance: Unlike natural teeth, porcelain veneers are highly resistant to staining from coffee, tea, red wine, and tobacco
  • Durability: With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or more
  • Minimal Tooth Reduction: The procedure requires minimal removal of your natural tooth structure
  • Versatility: Veneers can correct multiple aesthetic concerns simultaneously, including discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, and mild misalignment
  • Immediate Results: Transform your smile in just two visits to Laviva Clinic

Caring for Your Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers care and maintenance tips

To ensure the longevity of your porcelain veneers from Laviva Clinic, follow these essential care and maintenance tips:

  1. Use a Soft-Bristle Toothbrush: Brush gently twice daily to prevent scratching the porcelain surface
  2. Choose Non-Abrasive Toothpaste: Avoid toothpastes with harsh abrasives that can damage veneers
  3. Floss Daily: Clean between teeth carefully to maintain gum health around veneers
  4. Avoid Staining Foods and Beverages: While porcelain is stain-resistant, limiting exposure to highly pigmented items helps maintain whiteness
  5. Schedule Regular Dental Check-ups: Visit your dentist every 6 months for professional cleaning and evaluation

Additional tips:

  • Avoid using your teeth as tools to open packages or bite hard objects
  • Wear a night guard if you grind or clench your teeth
  • Rinse your mouth after consuming acidic foods or beverages
  • Limit alcohol consumption as it can weaken the bonding material

With proper care, your porcelain veneers from Laviva Clinic can maintain their beauty and functionality for 10-15+ years.

No, the procedure is virtually painless. We use local anesthesia during tooth preparation, and most patients report minimal to no discomfort throughout the process and recovery.

How many porcelain veneers will I need?
