Everything you need to know about getting a Hollywood smile in Turkey. We've answered 50+ of the most common questions from our patients around the world.
Learn the basics about Hollywood smile makeovers
A Hollywood Smile is a complete smile makeover that transforms your teeth into a flawless, bright, perfectly aligned smile – similar to those seen on celebrities. It typically involves dental veneers or crowns to achieve a uniform, white, and symmetrical appearance.
The treatment addresses multiple concerns at once: discoloration, chips, cracks, gaps, misalignment, and uneven tooth shapes. The result is a natural-looking yet dramatically improved smile that boosts confidence.
A Hollywood Smile in Turkey costs between $2,500 to $6,000 for a full set of veneers or crowns (typically 16-20 teeth). This is 60-70% cheaper than the US, UK, or Europe where the same treatment can cost $15,000 to $30,000.
Our all-inclusive packages include: treatment, hotel accommodation, airport transfers, and 24/7 patient coordinator support. Visit our homepage for current pricing.
Turkey offers lower prices due to several economic factors – not lower quality. These include:

They're essentially the same thing! "Hollywood Smile" is the globally recognized term for a celebrity-style smile makeover. "Turkish Smile" became popular because Turkey is now the world's leading destination for this treatment.
Both terms refer to a complete smile transformation using veneers or crowns to achieve a perfect, uniform, bright smile.
A full Hollywood Smile typically covers the visible teeth when you smile:
During your free consultation, we'll recommend the best option based on your smile line and goals.
Understanding your treatment options
Veneers: Thin shells (0.3-0.5mm) that cover only the front surface of teeth. They require minimal tooth preparation and are ideal for teeth with minor issues.
Crowns: Cap the entire tooth (360°). They're used when teeth need more extensive restoration – after root canals, for severely damaged teeth, or when changing tooth shape significantly.
Our dentists will recommend the best option based on your specific situation.
E-Max (Lithium Disilicate):
Zirconia:
Many patients opt for E-Max on front teeth and Zirconia on back teeth for optimal results.
Veneers require removing a thin layer of enamel (0.3-0.5mm) from the front surface of teeth. This is a permanent change – you'll always need veneers or another restoration afterward.
However, this minimal preparation is far less invasive than crowns and preserves most of your natural tooth structure. Our skilled dentists remove only what's necessary for a perfect fit.
Important: Always choose an experienced dentist who practices conservative tooth preparation.
Yes, but it depends on the severity of misalignment:

High-quality porcelain veneers (E-Max, Zirconia) are highly stain-resistant – more so than natural teeth! They won't yellow or discolor from coffee, tea, wine, or smoking.
The bonding cement and edges can potentially stain over many years, but this is rare with proper care. Regular dental cleanings help maintain their brilliance.
While modern veneers are extremely durable, they can chip under excessive force. To protect your investment:
Our lifetime guarantee covers any repairs needed due to material defects.
"Laminate veneers" is simply another term for dental veneers. The word "laminate" refers to the thin, layered nature of the porcelain shell that's bonded to your teeth.
They're the same high-quality E-Max or porcelain veneers used worldwide – the terminology just varies by region.
Absolutely! You'll work with our dentists to select your perfect shade from a professional color guide. Options range from:

Permanent tooth replacement solutions
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They provide a permanent foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth – you can eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence. They're the gold standard for replacing missing teeth.
Dental implants in Turkey cost approximately:
Compare this to the US where a single implant costs $3,000-5,000. We use premium brands like Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and MIS.
Most patients report that dental implant surgery is less painful than expected – often described as similar to a tooth extraction.
During surgery, you'll receive local anesthesia (and sedation if preferred) so you won't feel pain. Afterward, mild discomfort is managed with prescribed painkillers for a few days.
Dental implants require time for osseointegration (fusing with bone):
We provide temporary teeth during the healing period so you're never without a smile!
Yes, in most cases! If you have bone loss, we offer solutions:

What to expect during your dental journey
Most Hollywood Smile treatments are completed in 5-7 days:
For complex cases involving implants, you may need two visits (3-6 months apart).
Your first day typically includes:
No, it's completely painless. We use local anesthesia to numb the treatment area before any work begins. You won't feel any pain during the procedure.
For anxious patients, we offer conscious sedation (you remain awake but deeply relaxed). After the anesthesia wears off, you may experience mild sensitivity for 1-2 days.
Yes! You'll never be without teeth. After tooth preparation on Day 1, we fit high-quality temporary veneers/crowns immediately. These temporaries:
Any necessary treatments (root canals, extractions, gum treatments) are performed before your cosmetic work. We assess these needs from your X-rays before you arrive.
If additional treatments are needed, we can usually complete them during the same visit. This may add 1-2 days to your timeline. All costs are discussed upfront.
Yes! After the bonding cement fully sets (24-48 hours), you can eat normally. During the first 48 hours, we recommend:
After this initial period, enjoy your favorite foods – with reasonable care to protect your investment!

Mild sensitivity is normal for the first few weeks after treatment. It typically occurs with:
This usually resolves within 2-4 weeks as your teeth adjust. Use sensitive toothpaste and avoid extreme temperatures. If sensitivity persists beyond 4-6 weeks, contact us immediately.
