There is no cosmetic or aesthetic speciality in Türkiye’s list of dental specialities. Dentists who do veneers, crowns and smile makeovers are usually general dentists, restorative dentists or prosthodontists. That does not make them worse, but it means the title alone tells you little.
Judge a cosmetic dentist by what they will put in writing: how much tooth will be removed, what the veneers or crowns are made of, and what happens if one chips. For veneers specifically, see turkeyveneers.co.uk.

Common questions
Is cosmetic dentistry a speciality in Turkey?
No. It is done by general dentists, restorative dentists and prosthodontists. Ask about their training and how many cases they do.
What is the difference between veneers and crowns?
Veneers cover the front of the tooth; crowns cover the whole tooth and usually need more of it filed away.
