Porcelain vs Composite Veneers Comparison
Two paths to your dream smile — porcelain or composite?
]Should I choose porcelain or composite veneers?
Porcelain veneers are custom-crafted thin ceramic shells made in a dental laboratory, maintaining their flawless appearance for 15–20 years without staining. Composite veneers are resin-based material applied directly to the tooth and offer a more budget-friendly option. Here is the best part: at Smile & Holiday in Fethiye, Turkey, our porcelain veneer price is lower than the cost of composite veneers in the UK.

Porcelain veneers look more natural because they mimic the light-reflecting properties of real tooth enamel. Each veneer is individually layered for custom colour and translucency. Composite veneers produce good results too, but may lose their shine over time.
Porcelain veneers are highly stain-resistant — coffee, tea, and red wine will not cause discolouration. This property is maintained for 15–20 years. Composite veneers are more prone to staining and darkening over time.
Yes, at our Fethiye clinic porcelain veneers cost €200–350 per tooth. In the UK, composite veneers cost £250–450. So instead of getting composite in the UK, you can fly to Turkey and get premium porcelain veneers for less while enjoying a holiday.
Both procedures are typically performed under local anaesthesia, so there is no pain during treatment. There may be mild sensitivity after tooth preparation for porcelain veneers, but this is temporary. Composite veneers require less preparation and cause minimal discomfort.
Composite veneers can be easily repaired chairside, usually in 30–60 minutes. Porcelain veneers require a new veneer to be fabricated, which takes 2–3 working days. However, porcelain veneers are far less likely to chip or break in the first place.
