E-max veneers with DentalTrip are from €290 per tooth versus €900–€1,400 in Ireland. Most Irish patients need one visit of 5–7 days in Antalya or Istanbul. You approve a digital smile preview from home, teeth are prepared conservatively, and each veneer is an individual E-max (lithium disilicate) restoration — not a row of crowns bonded together — with a written lifetime warranty against fracture or debonding under normal use.
E-max veneers are the treatment Irish patients ask about after they have seen a natural smile — not a billboard-white block — come back from Antalya. E-max is a lithium disilicate ceramic. Used as a veneer, it covers the front of a tooth that still has most of its enamel. Used as a crown, it is a different, more aggressive job.
This page is about veneers, planned from Ireland, finished in one visit.
What E-max is — and is not
E-max is a material. It is not a synonym for “Turkey teeth” and it is not automatically more conservative than porcelain. The conservatism is in how much tooth is cut.
A veneer should be a fraction of a millimetre of enamel, with the edge hidden at the gum. A crown wraps the whole tooth. If a clinic quotes “20 E-max” on teeth that only needed eight veneers and some bleaching, you are not buying E-max. You are buying over-treatment with a premium label.
DentalTrip’s rule, set by Dr. Metehan Doğan: veneer where a veneer will last; crown where the tooth is already broken or heavily filled; leave healthy teeth alone.

Direct flights: Dublin–Antalya 4h 55m (seasonal), Dublin–Istanbul 4h 25m daily. How the trip works.
Will they look fake?
They look fake when shade is too high-value (too bright), when all teeth are the same length, and when gums are thick with ceramic. A preview from Ireland is how you stop that. You can ask for your own teeth, improved — not a template.
See real veneer cases and the E-max treatment page.
Warranty from Ireland
Fracture or debonding of E-max under normal use is covered for life, with an annual check-up (us or your dentist in Ireland) and a night guard if you grind. Trauma and new decay from neglected hygiene are not. If something fails, you WhatsApp a photo; minor recementing can be done in Ireland and reimbursed; structural remakes happen at our clinic.
Start with eight, not twenty
Most “I want a Hollywood smile” conversations, once a dentist looks at the photos, become eight or ten upper veneers and a conversation about the lower teeth. That is a better outcome than twenty crowns. Send the photos; we will tell you which.

FAQ
How much do E-max veneers cost in Turkey for Irish patients?
From €290 per tooth with DentalTrip, including digital design, scans and the lifetime warranty on the ceramic. A typical eight-tooth smile makeover is from €2,300 versus €7,000–€12,000 in Ireland.
Can I fly home after one week?
Yes for veneers and crowns. You leave with the finished E-max bonded. Follow a soft-ish diet for a few days; there is no second surgical visit unless implants are involved.
E-max or porcelain — which looks more natural?
Hand-layered porcelain can be the most lifelike in expert hands. E-max is stronger and very translucent, which is why we use it for most Irish smile makeovers. We will say if porcelain is the better call for your enamel and bite.
