What actually happens to your tooth

Veneer, crown or implant: see the difference

The biggest worry we hear is "will they file my teeth down to pegs?". Tap each option to see exactly how much of your own tooth is involved.

Emax veneer

A veneer is a thin shell of Emax glass ceramic bonded to the front face of the tooth. Only a fine layer of enamel is smoothed from that one surface, so the tooth underneath stays almost entirely intact. Best for healthy teeth that need reshaping, closing small gaps or brightening.

Dental Implants

Dental implants replace missing teeth with a titanium root and a realistic crown, restoring both function and appearance. They feel and function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Materials, compared

Zirconia, Emax or composite: the spec sheet

The three materials we work with, and the numbers behind them. There is no single best: the right one depends on what your teeth need.

Zirconia

Monolithic zirconium oxide

  • Strength 1,200 MPa
  • Translucency Medium
  • Tooth kept Around 60 to 70%
  • Stain resistance Excellent
  • Lifespan 15+ years

Best for: Worn, damaged or dark teeth, back teeth, and full smile rebuilds. The workhorse for crowns and All-on-4/6 bridges.

Premium upgrades available: Sagemax NexxZr and IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime

Emax

Lithium disilicate glass ceramic

  • Strength 400 MPa
  • Translucency High
  • Tooth kept Around 95% (veneers)
  • Stain resistance Excellent
  • Lifespan 10 to 15 years

Best for: Front teeth where looks matter most. The most natural, enamel-like material we use, as thin veneers or as crowns.

Composite

Resin, sculpted by hand

  • Strength 120 to 150 MPa
  • Translucency Low
  • Tooth kept Almost 100%
  • Stain resistance Low, stains easily
  • Lifespan 1 to 3 years

Best for: Small chips, gaps and edges on otherwise healthy teeth, done in one visit with no drilling. Budget-friendly, but it stains and needs replacing much sooner.

What the bars mean
  • Strength: Flexural strength, in megapascals. Higher means it shrugs off biting and grinding.
  • Translucency: How much light passes through, the way real enamel does. Higher looks more natural on front teeth.
  • Tooth kept: How much of your own tooth stays untouched. Higher means less preparation.
  • Stain resistance: How well it holds its colour against coffee, red wine and smoking.
  • Lifespan: Typical years of service with normal care. Nothing is for life, but these are the realistic ranges.

Questions answered

Dental Treatment in Turkey FAQs

  • How long do Emax veneers last?

    Emax veneers are made from a premium lithium disilicate ceramic that is both strong and highly aesthetic. With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, they can last 10 to 15 years or more. Many patients keep them even longer when avoiding habits like nail biting or chewing on hard objects. At UK Smiles, we use precision techniques to ensure a perfect fit, which helps maximise their lifespan.

  • What’s the difference between Emax and Zirconia crowns?

    Both Emax and Zirconia crowns are high-quality options, but they are suited to different needs: Emax Crowns, best for front teeth due to their natural translucency and beautiful aesthetics. Zirconia Crowns, best for back teeth or patients with a strong bite because they are extremely durable and resistant to chipping. At UK Smiles, our cosmetic dentist team will assess your needs and recommend the best option for your Turkey teeth smile.

  • Are dental implants painful?

    Thanks to modern anaesthesia and gentle surgical techniques, dental implant treatment is generally pain-free. You may feel mild discomfort or swelling for a few days after the procedure, which can be managed with standard pain relief. At the Antalya Dental Centre, we prioritise your comfort and provide full aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

  • How long does All-on-4 or All-on-6 treatment take?

    The All-on-4 and All-on-6 procedures can often be completed in just 1 to 2 days for the initial stage, during which your implants are placed, and a temporary set of teeth is fitted. After a healing period of around 6 months (to allow the implants to integrate with the bone), you’ll return for your final, permanent teeth. This staged approach ensures both stability and a natural appearance.

  • Why have treatment in Turkey instead of the UK?

    There are three main reasons why thousands of patients choose dental Turkey treatments each year: 1. Cost Savings: High-quality treatments like smile makeover Turkey are often 50 to 70% cheaper than in the UK. 2. Quality of Care: At UK Smiles, treatment takes place in a certified Dental Centre, a higher standard than a regular clinic, with strict rules on hygiene, materials and techniques. 3. Holiday Experience: You can enjoy the beauty of Antalya while receiving your dental treatment, making your trip both productive and memorable.
