Cosmetic dentistry is the range of treatments that improve the color, shape and proportions of teeth through procedures such as laminate veneers, zirconia and all-ceramic crowns, cosmetic bonding, teeth whitening and gum contouring. Planning is done individually, based on facial structure and the person's expectations.
The look of your smile comes from many details working together: the color, length and shape of the teeth, the proportions between them and their harmony with the gums. Even a small mismatch in one of these details can affect the smile as a whole.
Cosmetic dentistry aims to correct these mismatches while removing as little tooth tissue as possible and preserving a natural look. Sometimes a single bonding session is enough; other times a comprehensive treatment combining whitening and veneers is needed.
At our Çayırova dental clinic, we start cosmetic treatment by listening to your expectations, and we review the expected result with you before treatment begins, using photo analysis and, when needed, an in-mouth trial.
Benefits of cosmetic dentistry
- Corrects flaws in color, shape and size
- Restores appearance and function to broken and worn teeth
- Can close gaps between teeth
- Natural tooth tissue is preserved with minimally invasive methods
- Helps you feel more at ease when you smile
Who is cosmetic dentistry suitable for?
Suitable cases
- Teeth that are discolored, stained or do not respond to whitening
- Broken, worn or small teeth
- People with gaps between their teeth
- People with mild crowding who do not want orthodontic treatment (in suitable cases)
- People who want to refresh their smile
Points to consider
- Nighttime clenching and grinding (a night guard is needed to protect veneers)
- Untreated decay and gum disease
- Severe crowding (orthodontics may be recommended first)
Cosmetic dentistry methods and types
Laminate veneers (porcelain veneers)
Thin porcelain shells, about 0.3–0.7 mm thick, bonded to the front surface of the tooth. Very little tooth tissue is removed.
Zirconia and E-max crowns
Preferred for more extensive changes in color and shape, or for teeth that have lost a significant amount of structure.
Cosmetic bonding
Small chips, gaps and shape irregularities are corrected with tooth-colored composite material, usually in a single session and without cutting the tooth.
Teeth whitening
Lightens the natural tooth color by a few shades; it is the first step of most cosmetic treatments.
Pink aesthetics
The gum level and contour are adjusted so the teeth look more proportionate.

Aftercare following cosmetic dental treatment
- Keep brushing and flossing regularly
- Avoid biting hard objects such as pens, fingernails and seeds

What affects the cost of cosmetic dentistry in Çayırova?
The fee for cosmetic dental treatment depends on the chosen method (bonding, laminate veneers, zirconia, E-max), the number of teeth to be treated and any additional procedures (whitening, gum contouring).
The exact fee is based on the treatment plan prepared after your examination and any necessary imaging, and it is clearly communicated to you before treatment begins. Quoting a price by phone or online without an examination does not allow for accurate planning, so we recommend filling out the preliminary assessment form or visiting our clinic.

Frequently asked questions about Cosmetic Dentistry
What are laminate veneers?
They are thin porcelain shells, about 0.3–0.7 mm thick, bonded to the front surface of the teeth. They correct problems with color, shape, and small gaps with minimal tooth reduction.
What is the difference between cosmetic bonding and crowns?
Bonding can be done in a single session without reducing the tooth, but it may stain over time. Crowns and veneers provide more comprehensive and longer-lasting changes in color and shape.
Will the result look natural?
When the color and shape are chosen to suit your face, the result looks natural. With a trial (mock-up) before the procedure, you can see the result in advance.
How long do laminate veneers last?
With the right indication and care, they can be used for many years. Teeth clenching and biting hard objects can shorten their lifespan.
Do cosmetic treatments damage teeth?
The aim is always to remove as little tissue as possible. With bonding and some veneer applications, the tooth is barely touched.
Which cosmetic method is right for me?
This is determined after an examination, based on the current condition of your teeth, your expectations, and your gums.
Are laminate veneers and zirconia crowns available in Çayırova?
Yes. At Atayeter Çayırova Dental Clinic, laminate veneers and zirconia crowns are made using digital impressions and trial stages.
