The doctor name is Dr. Koray Kendir and was done at DentGroup Maslak.
Do they affect your speech at all?
Hi how many veneers did you get? What was the cost per veneer?
Actually nevermind, i see you answered that already

Before pictures
Pictures I send to DentGroup for doctor to evaluate what treatment is needed. I got quick response in 2-3 days. As you can see my teeth had all the yellow colours, not horribly crooked but not straight and they were pretty small.

ORIGINAL POST
Porcelain Veneers on Top and Bottom at DentGroup, Turkey
I had in total 16 porcelain veneers placed, 8 on top and 8 on bottom and 2 cavities fixed. Didn't have terrible teeth to start with, they're pretty straight but really small, stained and discoloured.
A year ago I emailed providers in central Europe for quotes, but was put off by their responses, lack of reviews/pictures and mostly price. For what I wanted done it'd be around 10,000 Euros.
Around two months ago I realized I hated to smile and laugh and all my pictures were with closed mouth. Also seeing really good looking smile is really attractive, right.
I came across review on realself titled "Porcelain Veneers with DentGroup Turkey" and it looked interesting, went to check their website and instagram. Especially on insta they have lots of pictures and I found some people with similar teeth to mine and loved their results. I messaged them on whatsapp and was asked to send pictures from various angles, I did and within 2-3 days I received suggested treatment plan. 16 porcelain veneers quoted and 4050.
I booked my flights in two weeks time and send the details for them to schedule transport from the airport and book appointments. On the day I got picked up from the airport around 8 in the morning for appointment at 9. Everybody was welcoming and explained what we'll do. We took pre pictures and then got the teeth prepared. It didn't hurt at all, but can imagine more comfortable things as sitting there open with mouth wide open for so long. Just imagined how my teeth gonna look in couple days and was easier to go through it. Then we took prints of the teeth and I got temporaries made over my teeth.
Then we sat down with the doctor and talked about teeth I wanted and color. He suggested color that looked good to me, I didn't want anything super white. I said my teeth are really small and that could be improved. I felt like this was little rushed and I'd prefer doctor to explain what was the exact plan to do with my teeth. Although we looked at some pictures of previous results with teeth similar to mine.
I had these for 6 days until my next appointment. It wasn't the easiest to eat and you really have to be careful what and how you eat to not lose any. Even if you do it's not a big deal as your teeth aren't much shaved, mine were just little more sensitive drinking cold water or brushing. I lost 3 bottom and 1 top out of 16 in those 6 days all eating a ice cream cone in two bites. The cool part is that nobody can tell you're getting something done comparing to other surgeries and you can hang out in Istanbul or travel around Turkey. I traveled to multiple cities, rode motorbike, went to the beach, got drunk with new made turkish friends.
I was slightly nervous on the day when my final veneers were being fitted. At first temporaries are taken off and teeth cleaned. Your teeth might be really sensitive at this point, I only had one or two sensitive teeth but otherwise felt barely anything. At first, the top ones were fitted. When I saw myself in the mirror I was freaking out as my top teeth were bigger to what I was used to have and wasn't sure if I like it. Then we did bottom and those were just perfect. Doctor then finalized everything and took some pictures. Speaking with such a sore mouth and bigger teeth was really hard on the first day. I was somewhat uncomfortable with my teeth on the first day and morning the second day. Went to see the doctor again for checkup and got two teeth slightly shaped and 2 cavities fixed for free.
The team there was really amazing and making sure everything is perfect and they're happy with their work.
It took around three days until I got used to and started loving my teeth. Now proudly laughing and showing them off when I can. None of my friends I didn't tell noticed different teeth although I got looks from two friends trying to figure out what's different. Friends that I told said that it looks really good and nobody could tell I have something done and two friends already asked me for DentGroup contact. I think DentGroup really matched my previous teeth, just made them more straight and little bigger.
I'm really happy I did this, even ended up paying less due to turkish lira/euro exchange rate. :)

Beautiful teeth
They did an excellent job
Thanks! I agree, very satisfied after 4 months. Honestly keep forgetting I did this, very natural feel and look.
Congratulations on your new grill! Looks terrific! So, if I am understanding correctly, the whole process was completed in a week? Did you stay extra days to make sure everything was okay before flying home? I have always wanted to visit Turkey and I've always wanted to fix my busted mouth, so this sounds like the perfect trip for me.
Thanks! Two years now and still looking good. Yes, after arrival they took me to get them prepared, gave me a temporary replacement. Then I had 6 days until they made my new teeth, so I went on to travel around Turkey.
After 6 days, it took one day to place them and check if everything is correct the next day.

Hi Rosaldo. I love the results of your teeth, they look so natural and elegant. Would you please tell much how long they last. I've hear that Porcelain Veneers last up to 10 years, while composite veneers last for 3 years. Thank you
Hi Emily, thanks a lot! To answer, I'm not exactly sure, but they should last 10+ years.
Best to contact the DentGroup and ask.

Just wanted to say I think your results look great and natural. I was just wondering what was the name of your doctor ? If I decide to go to dentgroup I want the same one !
