Porcelain Veneers · For patients travelling from the UK
One trip to Istanbul.
A smile
you approve first.
Your design is agreed before you travel and tried in your own mouth before a single tooth is touched. Most patients finish in one trip of 5–7 days, with every transfer arranged by us.
Why you are here
What patients from the UK
ask us before they book.
These are the four questions that come up in almost every message. All of them have straight answers.
How we work
We don't guess the result.
We show it first.
None of the four stages is skipped. Nothing moves to the next step without your approval.
Photographs, video and a 3D scan of your teeth are taken. What suits your face is worked out from these.
The designed smile is placed temporarily over your teeth. Without a single tooth being touched you see it, talk and take photos.
After your approval, 0.3–0.5 mm is removed from the outer surface. That is the room the veneer needs to sit in.
Thin porcelain layers made for you are bonded to the teeth. They transmit light like natural enamel, so they are not noticeable.
Selected cases
Same protocol,
results that are never identical.
Drag the slider to compare. Each one was completed with the same method, after a try-in.

Making the right choice
Porcelain veneers,
or composite bonding?
Both do very well in the right place. So you can choose knowing the difference:
| Composite Bonding | Porcelain Veneers | |
|---|---|---|
| How long it takes | One appointment, finished the same day | 2 appointments, about a week |
| Removed from the tooth | Usually nothing | 0.3–0.5 mm, outer surface only |
| Colour stability | Can pick up stain from tea and coffee | Stain resistant, colour does not change |
| How natural it looks | Looks good | Transmits light like a natural tooth |
| Lifespan | 3–5 years | 10 years and beyond |
| If it chips | Repaired in the mouth | A replacement is made |
| Reversible | Can be removed whenever you wish | Permanent, as the tooth is reduced |
| Best suited to | Small shape and colour corrections | A full smile change with lasting colour |
Process
One trip to Istanbul.
About 5–7 days.
Send photographs of your smile on WhatsApp. You receive a treatment plan and a written, itemised quote before you book flights.
Your teeth, gums and bite are checked and a digital scan is taken — no putty impressions. Your smile design begins the same day.
The designed smile is placed temporarily over your teeth. You look, talk, photograph it — and change anything you want. Nothing proceeds without your approval.
0.3–0.5 mm is removed from the outer surface and temporary veneers are fitted while your porcelain is made in the laboratory.
Your porcelain veneers are bonded, the bite is adjusted and everything is polished. You fly home with the treatment complete.
We stay reachable on WhatsApp and assess photographs quickly if anything needs attention.
Travel & stay
You fly in.
We handle the rest.
The treatment is the part you should be thinking about — not how to get from the airport. Here is exactly how a trip works.
Send photographs, and any X-rays you have, on WhatsApp. You get an assessment, a treatment plan and a written itemised quote — all before you book a single flight.
You are free to book your own flights. If you would rather not, tell us your preferred dates and we will help you find suitable connections.
From the moment you land, every transfer is arranged by us: airport to your hotel, hotel to the clinic each day, and back to the airport when you leave.
If you would like help with accommodation we arrange a hotel close to the clinic, so appointments are a short ride away rather than a journey across Istanbul.
Your dentist
Dr. Kürşat Yılmaz
Specialist in prosthodontics and aesthetic dentistry (DDS, PhD). His practice is built on touching the natural tooth as little as possible. At KY Clinic every treatment is planned digitally first, and nothing is carried out before you have seen the result.
“What makes a smile successful is not its colour, but how little you had to touch the tooth to get there.”
Patient experiences
The part patients talk about most:
the try-in appointment.
I sent photographs from Manchester on a Tuesday and had a clear plan back the same day. Nothing was vague.
A car was waiting at the airport and took me everywhere. I never once had to work out how to get somewhere.
They stayed in touch on WhatsApp after I flew home. That was the part I had been most worried about.
