A smile makeover,
previewed before committed.

For UK patients planning a cosmetic change — a wedding, a career move, or simply a long-deferred want — GC Clinic designs around the smile you already have, not around a template. Digital preview first. Mock-up in your own mouth. Minimal-prep porcelain only if you give the green light.

The design-first approach

A smile is designed twice — once digitally, once in your mouth — before anything is prepared.

The “Hollywood Smile” packaged in some clinics is a preset. Ours is not. We design for your face shape, your smile line, your lip dynamics, and — crucially — your request. If you want subtlety, you will get subtlety. If you want brightness, you will get it within the limits of what porcelain and light can honestly do.

The pathway for a UK patient

Five steps, two trips.

01

Digital preview

Photographs and a 3D intra-oral scan sent from the UK or captured on arrival. Digital design returned within 48 hours. Revised until you like it.

02

Mock-up visit

The design fabricated in composite and fitted onto your own teeth. You walk around Istanbul wearing the preview for a day. If it is wrong, we revise before any preparation.

03

Preparation

Minimal-prep veneers — 0.3–0.5 mm of enamel. Photographed and filed.

04

Try-in and bond

Final veneers tried in. Shade and fit checked. Bonded under rubber dam.

05

Aftercare

Annual review by video, in person, or via a UK dentist we coordinate with. Written warranty — 5 years on the veneers themselves.

What we will not do

Three things worth saying out loud.

We do not do crowns instead of veneers

If your case is cosmetic and veneers are indicated, that is what you will be offered. A crown is a reduction of the entire tooth. Different procedure. Different indication. We will not blur the two for throughput.

We do not do more units than necessary

If four units are clinically right, we will not quote ten. If you ask for ten and four are right, we will tell you why four is the better recommendation.

We do not do "no-prep" as default

No-prep veneers work in a narrow set of cases — small, spaced teeth where adding volume is the goal. Outside that set, they look bulky. Minimal-prep is almost always the honest answer.

Cases — UK patients

Subtle first. Bright only when asked.
