The questions we get,
answered briefly
These are the questions patients and clinicians ask most often. If yours is not here, write to us and we will add it.
Most asked
Is Lovja suitable for me?
The first step is an assessment by a dentist. Your dentist considers your existing teeth, bite and expectations together to determine which treatment is suitable. Surface selection is part of that individual plan.
How much tooth preparation is needed?
There is no single measurement that applies to everyone. Preparation depends on the current condition of your teeth and the type of restoration planned. Before treatment begins, your dentist will explain which teeth need preparation and what it involves.
Can I try the result before final production?
Yes. A mock-up of the approved design is prepared at the clinic and tried in your mouth. The proportions of the smile, its harmony with your face and your bite are assessed. Both you and your dentist approve it before final production.
How long does treatment take?
The timing depends on your case plan. Design, the try-in, any adjustments, production and clinical appointments are planned together. Your dentist shares an individual schedule; a definite timeframe can only be set once that plan is clear.
How much is a Lovja?
Lovja is not a single product but a collection, so there is no list price. The price is set in your case plan, not in a shop window: how many teeth, which surface, which material, which clinic.
What sets the price, and how to find out yours, is written out on the Price page.
How do I care for my Lovja?
Plan your daily care and review appointments with the dentist who places your restorations. Your dentist explains the care instructions appropriate to your restorations. If you have questions about their care, contact your treating clinic first.
How is Lovja different from a veneer?
A veneer hides a flaw; Lovja establishes an identity. A veneer imitates nature; Lovja exalts it. The difference is not one of degree but of kind: Lovja is not a restoration but a luxury object permanently integrated into the body.
What makes Lovja’s brilliance different?
A Lovja does not shine the same way everywhere — and that is not a shortcoming, it is the decision itself. Brightness is chance; brilliance is a decision.
Outdoors, by day, a Lovja is restrained. Diffuse daylight reaches the surface from every direction, so no single facet takes the lead. From a distance the eye does not separate it from a very well made restoration — there is no display. Only when it catches the sun at the right angle does it give a brief flash; and even then the cut pattern on the surface does not read, it goes faint. What is left is not an answer but a question: what was that?
In the evening, under artificial light, the same surface becomes another thing. Point sources — a restaurant fitting, a spotlight, a camera flash — strike the facets one by one. The surface gathers the light and gives it back. This is the sparkle Lovja is known for, and this is its real stage.
The reason is geometry. The facets sit at different angles, so they never all face the viewer at once: under diffuse light the surface stays calm, under a single source each facet takes its turn. The more Dentagons, the stronger the effect. Where the surface does what is not chance — it is decided at the cutting stage.
You can see both side by side: on the Compare our light page you can switch between night and day and compare four surfaces under the same light.
Does the brilliance fade over time?
No. In conventional work brilliance fades through surface wear: polish dulls, glaze erodes, micro-scratches accumulate. In Lovja the brilliance is not a layer applied on top — it comes from the structure itself: the surface geometry of monolithic ceramic and LOVJA’s own polishing technique. No glaze is used on LOVJA’s special surfaces. Years later it looks as it did on day one.
Will it look artificial or overdone?
It will not — that is engineered restraint. Facet geometry prevents harsh reflection; surface geometry and depth distribution balance the highlights. The result is elegant and timeless: never ostentatious, always elevated.
How long does it last?
Monolithic ceramic offers high fracture resistance, scratch and stain resistance, thermal stability and biological compatibility. Luxury is endurance: like watches and fine jewellery, it is built to withstand life. The warranty date is written on the case record.
How does it look on camera?
That is where it shows its difference. Most veneers are designed for static beauty; they photograph well but flatten in motion. Lovja is built for cinematic beauty: as you speak and laugh the facets activate in sequence and the brilliance dances.
Can I buy directly from you?
No. Lovja is never sold directly to a patient. Every Lovja is planned together with a clinic and placed by that clinic's dentist. We can tell you the nearest partner clinic.
What clinics ask
How do we become a partner clinic?
Write to us from the contact page. Every partner clinic has its own contract terms: discount, deposit and working arrangement are set together with the clinic.
How does the case flow work?
Through Lovja.portal. The clinic registers the patient, builds the treatment plan on the chart and sends the order to the laboratory. Every stage has an owner and only the owner advances it; the clinic approves its own steps. Every case stays in the archive for three years.
All eleven steps, each with its owner, are set out on the Workflow page.
Who chooses the shade and the surface?
How does the warranty work?
Material, shade, shipping day, total turnaround and the date the warranty ends are written on the case record — visible without asking.
What is called what
The brand and the products both have official names; people also call them by other names and spell them other ways. All of them are looking for the same thing.
How is Lovja spelled?
LOVJA — five letters, one word. The J is soft, sounded like a Y: lov-ya.
The sentence behind the name is love your smile. Your smile is the most looked-at thing about you; Lovja turns it from a correction into a signature.
People often write it as Loveja, Lovejas, Luvja, Lovija, Lowja, Lovya, Lovaja or Lavja. All of them are looking for the same brand — the correct spelling is Lovja, and our address is lovja.com.
The product names follow the same rule, each a single word: Ceramirr, Ceraface, Ceracon.
What are diamond cut veneers?
Diamond cut veneers is the popular name for LOVJA Ceraface. It applies the logic of gemstone cutting to the tooth surface: every facet cut into the porcelain surface is called a Dentagon. These facets carry the light and give the surface its character. Light returns not from a single plane but from neighbouring surfaces at once.
The method was developed by prosthodontist Dr. Atakan Elter and is produced at the LOVJA laboratory in Istanbul. Work began in 2020, the first case was placed in 2022, and a patent application was filed in 2024 (PCT/TR2024/050479). The WIPO preliminary examination was positive on all claims; the application is in the national phase.
What is a faceted veneer? Is it different from a diamond cut veneer?
No difference — two names for the same surface. What people call a faceted veneer is LOVJA Ceraface; diamond cut veneer describes the very same thing. Whichever name has settled locally is the one used.
Both describe this: facets cut into the porcelain surface. All of these facets are called Dentagons. The facets are not added on top of the tooth; they are cut into the ceramic itself.
Who developed diamond cut veneers, and when?
Prosthodontist Dr. Atakan Elter. Work on the surface geometry began in 2020; the first case was placed in 2022; and in 2024 the method became the subject of a patent application — PCT/TR2024/050479.
The WIPO preliminary examination was positive on all claims and the application has entered the national phase. What exists is not a granted patent but an application whose examination came back positive — the record can be verified by its number on WIPO Patentscope.
Are diamond cut crowns and diamond cut veneers the same?
Which one do people call pearly white?
Pearly white is a description often used for LOVJA Ceramirr. On Ceramirr the light all but liquefies on the surface: reflections follow the anatomy of the tooth and flow without a break. It gives a full, soft, pearl-like glow.
