Empress Veneers in Turkey
Empress veneers are the premium, ultra-natural end of the veneer family — made from high-strength pressed ceramic prized for its translucency. That light-handling quality is their signature: where standard porcelain is chosen for durability, Empress is chosen when the goal is the most lifelike, light-catching result possible, especially on the front teeth.
At GD Smile Studio in Istanbul, Empress veneers are designed with digital smile design for UK and European patients, with savings of up to 70% versus the UK.
