Types of veneers in Turkey
They are of two types: porcelain veneers and resin/composite veneers.
ceramic faces
The most famous types of composite lenses, called porcelain or zircon veneers, which are a durable and thin cover made of ceramic that the dentist can place on the top and edges of the teeth.

resin faces
They are cosmetic veneers made of resin, similar to porcelain veneers, but they are cheaper and require less enamel removal. Sometimes the dentist may not have to remove any enamel before installing them, lasting for 5 years on average.
