Hollywood Smile in Turkey

A Hollywood Smile costs €4,000 to €8,000 in Turkey for a full set of 16 to 20 teeth, depending on the materials chosen (E-max veneers, zirconia crowns or a combination) and any supporting treatments such as whitening or gum contouring. Even when premium materials and digital planning are used, overall treatment costs are usually significantly lower than in the UK, EU, or USA.

At MDC, a Hollywood Smile plan includes the free online consultation, digital smile design, an itemised per-tooth treatment plan, local anaesthesia, a temporary set, the rehearsal fitting, final bonding and a 3-year guarantee. Anything your case additionally needs — whitening, gum contouring, implants — is listed separately in the plan, never hidden in a single headline figure.

It depends on each tooth. E-max veneers suit teeth where enamel can be preserved: they need only 0.2 to 0.7 mm of preparation and give the most natural translucency. Zirconia crowns suit damaged, root-treated or heavily filled teeth that need full coverage, and their more opaque structure can mask dark teeth underneath. Most MDC makeovers combine both, decided tooth by tooth at your smile design consultation — and your plan states which is used where, and why.

Treatment is performed under local anaesthesia, so most patients feel little during the procedures. Mild sensitivity for a few days after preparation or whitening is normal and settles as you adjust to the new smile. Your dentist explains what to expect for your specific treatment mix at the consultation.

A full Hollywood Smile usually covers 16 to 20 teeth — the upper and lower teeth visible when you smile. Some patients start with the upper arch only (8 to 10 teeth), which can be extended later; your digital smile design shows exactly which teeth need treatment for a balanced result.

Yes — once your final set is bonded and checked, you eat normally; at MDC you even test your new smile with real Turkish food before flying home. Long-term care is the same as natural teeth: brushing, flossing and regular check-ups, plus avoiding habits like nail biting or opening packages with your teeth. If you grind your teeth at night, a night guard protects your restorations.

It often includes porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, gum contouring, and sometimes minor orthodontic adjustments or dental bonding.

With proper care, porcelain veneers and crowns typically last around 10-20 years, while whitening results may need refreshing every few years, depending on diet and habits. Longevity depends heavily on oral hygiene, regular check-ups, and avoiding habits like teeth grinding, nail biting, or opening objects with your teeth.

A standard Hollywood Smile at MDC takes 5 to 7 days and 2 to 3 clinical visits in a single trip, from smile design to final bonding. Cases that also need orthodontics or implants first follow a longer, staged plan, which your dentist maps out at the consultation.

With proper oral hygiene and regular maintenance, a Hollywood smile can last many years. Some parts of the treatment – such as orthodontics, whitening, or gum contouring – are minimally invasive and may need to be adjusted or repeated over time.

When veneers or crowns are used, they typically last 10 to 20 years, and like all dental restorations may need replacement over time depending on care and habits..

That depends on your preference. Since every step of the process is customized, you can choose the level of brightness and style you want. Our goal is a smile that looks bright yet natural and complements your facial features.

Preparation starts with a full dental check-up to treat issues such as cavities, gum disease, or worn restorations, so your smile makeover is built on a healthy foundation. We then use digital scans and smile design tools to plan your new look and discuss lifestyle factors, such as smoking and staining foods, to help your results last longer.

Depending on your case, a Hollywood Smile may include professional teeth whitening, veneers or crowns, orthodontics (e.g., aligners), gum contouring, and, in some cases, implants to replace missing teeth. All of these are coordinated within a single treatment plan using digital smile design to achieve a natural yet “celebrity-level” result.

A Hollywood Smile improves the color, shape, and alignment of your teeth while also supporting better chewing function and clearer speech. By addressing bite problems, worn enamel, and gum health, it enhances both aesthetics and long-term oral health, often boosting confidence in social and professional life.

Some treatments, like porcelain veneers or crowns, require the removal of a thin layer of enamel, which is irreversible and means restorations will eventually need replacement.After treatment, mild sensitivity is normal; persistent pain, a loose restoration or bite discomfort are reasons to contact your dentist promptly.

The best candidates are adults with generally healthy gums and teeth who want whiter, straighter, and more symmetrical smiles. If you have active gum disease, severe decay, or major bite problems, these issues need to be treated first before starting a full smile makeover.

Yes. If you have gaps or missing teeth, your Hollywood Smile plan can include dental implants, crowns, or bridges to rebuild the missing structures before or alongside the cosmetic phase, so your final smile looks complete and balanced.

Mild crowding, gaps, or slightly rotated teeth can often be corrected as part of the smile design using veneers, bonding, and contouring. For more severe misalignment or bite problems, orthodontic treatment (such as clear aligners or braces) is usually recommended first, followed by cosmetic procedures.

Patients with gum recession can still be candidates, but gum health must be stabilized first with periodontal treatment. In some cases, gum grafting or other periodontal procedures are recommended before veneers, crowns, or bonding are placed to protect exposed roots and improve aesthetics safely.

Yes. Some patients achieve their goals with a combination of orthodontics and professional whitening, sometimes supplemented by small bonding corrections and gum contouring. These more conservative options can significantly improve the smile without placing porcelain shells on every visible tooth.

In selected cases, no-prep or minimal-prep veneers, ultra-thin laminates, or a combination of whitening, aligners, and bonding can reduce or avoid tooth shaving. Whether this is possible depends on your tooth position, color, and the degree of change you want, so a detailed consultation is essential.

Yes, smile design takes facial features and gender expression into account: men often suit slightly squarer, broader teeth, while women usually look better with softer, more rounded edges. We also consider lip shape, smile arc, and cultural preferences to create a personalized result that feels natural for you.

Because Hollywood Smile treatments are primarily cosmetic, they are usually not covered by standard dental insurance policies. Functional components, such as medically necessary crowns or implants, may receive partial coverage depending on your insurer, but cosmetic veneers, whitening, and digital planning are typically paid out of pocket.

Before treatment, you’ll have a full assessment, digital scans, and a customized smile design so you can see a preview of your new smile. After treatment, you may experience short-term sensitivity or gum tenderness, but once you adapt, most patients report a significant boost in comfort, confidence, and a greater willingness to smile in photos and daily life.

Maintain your new smile by brushing and flossing daily, attending regular professional cleanings, and limiting staining foods, drinks, and tobacco. If you grind your teeth, a night guard is recommended to protect veneers and crowns, and occasional whitening touch-ups can keep your smile bright over the years.

A Hollywood Smile is a comprehensive, digitally planned transformation using multiple procedures to achieve “red-carpet” symmetry and brightness, often across most or all visible teeth. A standard smile makeover is usually smaller in scope-perhaps just whitening and a few veneers-aiming for improvement rather than a full, dramatic redesign.

Yes. Many actors, presenters, and influencers have used combinations of orthodontics, veneers, whitening, and bonding to refine their smiles. The same planning principles and technologies used for celebrity cases are now widely available, allowing international patients to achieve similar transformations at clinics like Maltepe Dental Clinic.

Turkey has become a leading destination for Hollywood Smile makeovers because it combines modern technology, experienced cosmetic dentists, and internationally certified labs at prices more affordable than in the UK or the USA. At our clinic in Istanbul, we complete our patients’ full smile makeover in about 6 working days, with added services such as airport transfers, hotel coordination, and multilingual support for a smooth experience.

If your Hollywood smile treatment involves porcelain veneers or crowns, you can choose the color and shape of your teeth, ranging from a very white smile to a more natural look-based on your expectations. Thanks to our in-house laboratory, we can accommodate your requests quickly and precisely.

If your treatment involves teeth whitening, the final shade cannot be selected in advance. The results of whitening vary from patient to patient and depend on factors such as tooth structure and natural enamel response.
