What is a Hollywood Smile?

A Hollywood Smile is a complete smile transformation using 16-20 premium veneers or crowns to achieve bright, symmetrical, perfectly aligned teeth—the signature look of celebrities, now accessible with 60-70% savings in Turkey.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Premium clinics now include Digital Smile Design (DSD) as standard—don't pay extra for it. DSD lets you preview your new smile in 3D before any work begins. The best results come from matching veneer shade to your skin tone, not choosing the whitest option.

⚠️ Insider Note: Not everyone needs veneers on all teeth. An honest dentist may recommend 8-12 veneers plus whitening for a natural result. Be wary of clinics pushing 20+ veneers when fewer would suffice. Emax veneers (lithium disilicate) are the gold standard—zirconia is an alternative but less translucent.

Frequently Asked Questions

How painful is getting a Hollywood Smile?

Minimal discomfort. Tooth preparation is done under local anesthesia—you feel pressure but no pain. Post-procedure sensitivity to hot/cold is common for 1-2 weeks, managed with over-the-counter pain relief and desensitizing toothpaste.

Is it safe to get veneers in Turkey?

Yes—Turkey has world-class dental facilities with internationally trained dentists. Look for clinics using genuine Ivoclar Emax, with JCI accreditation, and verifiable before/after photos. The same materials used in London or New York are used in Istanbul.

Why are veneers cheaper in Turkey?

Lower operating costs, favorable exchange rates, and high volume of dental tourists. Turkish labs produce excellent quality work at lower labor costs. The materials (Ivoclar Emax) are identical—the savings come from overhead, not quality.

How many days do I need in Turkey for Hollywood Smile?

5-7 days is typical. Day 1-2: consultation and preparation. Days 3-5: veneers fabricated while you explore. Days 6-7: fitting and bonding. Some clinics offer expedited 4-day options, but 5-7 days allows for better quality control.

How long does a Hollywood Smile last?

15-20 years with proper care. Emax veneers are extremely durable. Avoid biting hard objects (ice, nuts, pens), wear a night guard if you grind, and maintain excellent oral hygiene. Some patients have veneers lasting 25+ years.

Will my Hollywood Smile look natural?

Yes, when done correctly. The "fake" look comes from choosing shades that are too white or opaque. A skilled dentist matches shade and translucency to your skin tone and natural teeth. Emax is prized for its natural light transmission.

What's the difference between Emax and zirconia veneers?

Emax (lithium disilicate): superior translucency, most natural appearance, slightly thinner. Zirconia: stronger, better for back teeth or heavy grinders, less translucent. Most Hollywood Smiles use Emax for front teeth.

Can I see my smile before committing?

Yes—Digital Smile Design (DSD) creates a 3D preview of your new smile before any work begins. Reputable clinics include this as standard. You can request adjustments to shape, size, and shade before approval.
