Lumineers® represent a specific brand of ultra-thin dental lumineers, renowned for often requiring minimal to no preparation (enamel removal) of your natural teeth. Choosing lumineers in Turkey allows patients access to this globally recognized, conservative cosmetic solution performed by skilled dentists, but at a significantly lower lumineers cost in Turkey compared to the UK, USA, or Europe. Achieve a brighter, more aligned smile with maximum tooth preservation.
Explore our gallery of lumineers teeth before and after (teeth lumineers before and after) images showcasing subtle yet impactful smile enhancements achieved with this ultra-thin veneer system.
The cost of lumineers teeth is influenced by their branded nature and specialized fabrication (often requiring specific labs). While potentially priced slightly higher per unit than generic porcelain veneers, the lumineers teeth cost in Turkey still offers substantial savings compared to Western countries.
Below is a general lumineers Turkey price comparison per tooth:
| Veneer Type | Dentalays / Turkey (Estimate € per tooth) | UK / Europe / USA (Estimate € per tooth) |
|---|---|---|
| Lumineers® (Cerinate Porcelain) | €350 - €500+ | €1,000 - €2,500+ |
Please note these are estimated starting prices. The final lumineers teeth price depends on the specific case and number of veneers. For an accurate quote for lumineers teeth Turkey, please request a free, personalized consultation.
Lumineers are a specific brand of ultra thin veneers made from a patented Cerinate® porcelain. Their key characteristic is their exceptional thinness (around 0.2mm - 0.3mm, similar to a contact lens). This thinness is what allows them, in suitable cases, to be applied directly over existing teeth with little or no grinding or shaving of the natural tooth structure (enamel).
They are marketed as a 'pain-free', 'no-prep' way to achieve a whiter and more perfectly aligned smile, concealing minor imperfections like small gaps, slight discolouration, or minimal chips for lumineers in teeth.
The procedure for placing lumineers on teeth emphasizes tooth preservation:
This is the most critical step. Your dentist performs a thorough examination to confirm you are a suitable candidate for a minimal/no-prep approach like Lumineers. Not all patients are eligible. If suitable, a highly precise impression or digital scan is taken of your teeth in their current state (or after very minor polishing). Shade selection is done.
The impression/scan is sent to an authorized Lumineers laboratory (or a lab skilled in ultra-thin Cerinate porcelain fabrication). Using this data, your custom Lumineers are crafted to be exceptionally thin yet strong.
Try-in: The finished Lumineers are carefully placed on your teeth without permanent cement to check the fit, colour, and overall aesthetic result.
Etching & Bonding: Your teeth are thoroughly cleaned and prepared (etched) to ensure a strong bond with the enamel. Each Lumineer is then bonded onto the corresponding tooth using a special, light-cured adhesive cement.
Finishing: Excess cement is removed, the bite is checked, and the Lumineers are polished.
| Benefits | Drawbacks |
|---|---|
| Maximum Tooth Preservation: Little to no enamel removal required. | Strict Candidacy: Only suitable for minor cosmetic issues on well-aligned teeth. |
| Often Painless & No Anaesthesia: Minimal or no drilling involved. | Risk of Bulky Appearance: Adding thickness can look unnatural if teeth aren't suitable. |
| Potentially Reversible: If no enamel was removed, the process can be reversed. | Less Versatile: Cannot correct significant misalignment, large gaps, or dark stains effectively. |
| Strong Material: Cerinate porcelain is durable. | Higher Cost: Often more expensive per veneer than standard porcelain veneers due to branding/lab fees. |
| Good Aesthetics: Can brighten and perfect smiles subtly. | Technique Sensitive: Requires expert placement for optimal results and marginal fit. |

Lumineers (lumineers for teeth) are only suitable for patients with:
They are NOT suitable for crowded/rotated teeth, teeth needing significant shape changes, very dark teeth, or patients with bite problems or heavy grinding habits.
While Lumineers is a specific brand, achieving success with any ultra-thin veneer requires expertise. At Dentalays:
The lumineers cost in Turkey generally ranges from €350 to €500+ per tooth, reflecting the brand premium and specialized lab work, but still offering significant savings over UK/USA prices (€1,000-€2,500+).
Yes, Lumineers are a brand of veneer made from a specific Cerinate porcelain, characterized by their ultra-thinness which allows for minimal or no-prep application in suitable cases. Regular porcelain veneers (like E-Max) might be slightly thicker but offer excellent aesthetics and require minimal prep.
Ideally, Lumineers are placed with no tooth shaving (no-prep). However, in many cases, minimal preparation (slight polishing or contouring) might be needed for the best fit and aesthetic result. True no-prep is only possible for specific tooth shapes and positions.
Lumineers are made from durable Cerinate porcelain and can last 10-15 years or more with proper care, similar to traditional high-quality porcelain veneers.
If absolutely no enamel was removed during placement (true no-prep), then removing the Lumineers would theoretically leave the original tooth intact, making the process reversible. If any preparation occurred, it's irreversible.
When placed correctly on ideal candidates, they can look very natural. However, if placed on teeth that don't have space for the added thickness (even if minimal), they can look bulky or less natural than traditional veneers where space was created.
Lumineers themselves are highly stain-resistant, similar to other porcelain veneers. They cover the natural tooth, providing a permanently whiter appearance, thus acting as a form of "whitening" by masking the underlying shade. They don't whiten the underlying tooth itself.
They can only camouflage very minor misalignment. They are not a substitute for orthodontic treatment for significantly crooked teeth. Trying to mask moderate crowding can lead to bulky, unnatural results.
Many celebrities do have veneers, potentially including Lumineers or similar ultra-thin options, to achieve perfect smiles. However, the specific brand used is often not disclosed.
No, absolutely not. Candidacy is quite strict and depends on tooth alignment, shape, existing dental work, bite, and desired outcome. An ethical cosmetic dentist will carefully evaluate your suitability.
In dentistry, high-resolution photographs are taken to evaluate the patient’s existing tooth structure and facial aesthetics. These photos are used to document and analyze the condition, color, and shape of the teeth and their harmony with the patient’s face.
Why is it important? Professional photographs help dentists and lab technicians plan the restoration process and achieve ideal aesthetic results.
5D scanning technology allows for highly precise digital scanning of teeth and oral structures. This technology goes beyond traditional 3D scans by capturing additional information such as color, texture, and movement.
Why is it important? 5D scanning enables the creation of detailed digital models of teeth, allowing for more accurate and personalized restorations. This accelerates the treatment process and provides a more comfortable experience for the patient.
Special dental burs are used for shaping teeth with minimal preparation and for the precise placement of restorations. These burs are high-precision and sharp instruments.
Dental laboratories equipped with advanced technology play a key role in the production of restorations. These labs use CAD/CAM systems, high-precision manufacturing devices, and biocompatible materials.

Real experiences, real smile
Wow !!! I’ve literally just had my new smile, I’m over the moon! Had a lot of work done to get the smile I’ve wanted for years but the whole team at Dentalays have been amazing! Can’t thank them enough. Every visit I was made to feel relaxed, informed of everything that was going to take place (most of which through a brilliant translator, who was with my every step of the way) I’d highly recommend Dentalays if you’re thinking about cosmetic treatments.
Dentalays Clinic is like home!!! Not only are our smiles beautiful and important to the entire staff! But who we are and what kind of people we are! I felt at home! Very warm atmosphere! In such a short time I got to know each of them very well! We are not just clients there, but they give everyone a lot of warmth and care! They want to get to know us. Which for me is very beautiful! Being there you will not lack anything! No matter how difficult the procedure you are going through, you receive a lot of support and care! Another thing that is important to me is that each of them does it with passion. The entire procedure must be done perfectly, every imperfection is corrected! We do not feel like a piggy bank! Because for them money is really secondary! The most important thing for the clinic is our well-being and health and satisfaction with the procedure performed! Nothing is done in a hurry and without discussing it with you or the Doctor! I loved these people and I know that I will go back there to spend some time with them! They are my second home and I know that I can always count on them! There are few people with such a good heart these days!
DENTALAYS I love you! Thank you for everything and I miss you already! Now I know that with a smile like the one you gave me I will find my HUSBAND 😂
See you soon ❤️❤️❤️
