Cosmetic dentistry: a broad field covering smile design, porcelain veneers, zirconia crowns and treatments that improve the alignment of teeth.
Cosmetic dentistry covers treatments aimed at improving the appearance of teeth and the overall harmony of a smile. Porcelain veneers, zirconia crowns and smile design are all part of this field.
At Prime Istanbul Cerrahi, a cosmetic treatment plan starts by assessing your tooth structure, gum line and facial features together. Our dental team has experience with E-max and veneer applications; the treatment plan is prepared after examination.

02Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin layers of porcelain bonded to the front surface of teeth, used to improve the appearance of tooth colour, shape and minor alignment. At Prime Istanbul Cerrahi, veneer treatment begins by assessing your tooth structure and expectations. A limited amount of preparation is made to the tooth surface, an impression is taken, and personalised veneers are then fabricated. Veneers can also be planned as part of a broader smile design process.
