Veneers Before and After

Every photo below is a real patient of our clinic in Kuşadası, photographed before treatment and again after their new smile was fitted. Each smile was planned tooth by tooth, with veneers, crowns or a mix of both, and approved by the patient before any tooth was prepared.

What veneers can change

Veneers change the front surface of a tooth, and that covers most of what people dislike about their smile. In the photos above you can see these four changes.

• Colour. Grey, yellow or patchy teeth that whitening cannot fix become an even shade, from natural to bright.
• Shape and length. Small, worn or chipped teeth are rebuilt to a length that suits your face and lips.
• Gaps. Spaces between the front teeth close without braces.
• Uneven teeth. Teeth that are slightly out of line can be made to look straight, when the bite allows it.

How many veneers you need depends on how many teeth show when you smile; a full makeover of 20 or 24 teeth is what many people call a Hollywood smile.

What veneers cannot change

Good before-and-after photos show what veneers do well, and it is just as useful to know where another treatment does the job better. Your dentist will tell you if any of these apply to you.

• Missing teeth. A veneer needs a tooth to sit on; a gap is filled with a dental implant or a bridge.
• Badly broken or heavily filled teeth. These need a crown, which covers and protects the whole tooth.
• A bite that does not meet properly. If the upper and lower teeth do not meet well, the bite is assessed first.
• Gum problems. Gums need to be healthy before veneers are made; our specialist in periodontology treats them first if needed.

Veneers or crowns: what you see in the photos

From the outside, a veneer and a crown can look the same; the difference is underneath. A veneer covers only the front of a tooth and needs 0.3–0.7 mm of preparation, while a crown covers the whole tooth and needs about 1–2 mm all round. That is why our dentists choose veneers for healthy teeth that only need a new colour or shape, and crowns for teeth that are broken, heavily filled or already crowned.

A smile makeover often combines both, tooth by tooth, so that the smile looks even when the teeth underneath were in very different condition. Your treatment plan names the material for each tooth, and the reasons are explained in our guide to veneers or crowns.

How to judge before and after photos

Before-and-after photos are the best way to see a clinic's work, as long as you know what to look for. These are the points dentists themselves check.

1. The same angle and light. The before and after photos should be taken the same way, so the change you see is the treatment, not the camera.
2. The edges of the teeth. Natural-looking veneers have slightly different lengths and soft, rounded edges, not a row of identical blocks.
3. The gum line. The edge of each veneer should meet the gum neatly, with healthy pink gum around it.
4. The shade against the face. A good shade suits the skin and the whites of the eyes; very bright shades are a choice, not a requirement.
5. Real patients. Photos should be of the clinic's own patients, taken in the clinic, as ours are.

How your result is planned before anything is done

The photos on this page all started the same way: with a design. Your new smile is designed digitally from photos and a scan of your teeth, and you see it on screen and approve it before any tooth is prepared.

On day 2 you try the design in your own mouth as a mock-up, so you can see the shape and length in the mirror and change them. The veneers are made in our own CAD/CAM lab, tried in on days 3 and 4, and bonded on day 5 only with your approval. The whole treatment takes one visit of 6 days, or up to 8 if needed.

You choose the shade with your dentist from the 29 shades of the VITA 3D-MASTER guide, from natural tones to the bleached shades 0M1–0M3. Only 0.3–0.7 mm is prepared from the front of each tooth, and some teeth need no preparation at all.
