"Hollywood Smile" sounds like one procedure. In reality it is a complete smile design: a plan that combines veneers and crowns to balance the proportions, colour and bite of your smile.
The most important part happens before anything is made. Your smile is analysed and designed first, and you see a mock-up of the design before the final work is fitted. This article explains each stage, so you know what to expect.
What a Hollywood Smile includes
A Hollywood Smile uses:
- Veneers — thin shells bonded to the front of healthy teeth to change their colour and shape.
- Crowns — full covers for teeth that are weakened, broken or heavily filled.
Which teeth get a veneer and which get a crown depends on the condition of each tooth. That is why the plan is different for every patient.
Depending on your smile, the plan may also include gum alignment — contouring an uneven gum line — or teeth whitening. The doctor tells you if either is needed.
Who it suits
A Hollywood Smile usually suits people who:
- Want a full aesthetic redesign of their smile, not a single tooth fixed.
- Have a stable oral health baseline — healthy gums and no untreated problems.
- Have realistic goals for the result.
If your gums or teeth need treatment first, the doctor will tell you at the consultation.
Stage 1: Consultation from home
Send us your photos and any X-rays on WhatsApp or through the contact form. During working hours we reply within 15 minutes. A doctor reviews them and tells you whether a full smile design suits you.
You then receive your treatment plan and its price in writing within 6 hours. Treatment usually takes 5–7 days, and your plan states exactly how many days to plan in Istanbul.
Stage 2: Arrival and examination
Your coordinator, Melis, arranges your airport transfer and stays in touch with you on WhatsApp from arrival to departure. If you need a hotel, we work with Mercure Istanbul, Pullman Istanbul, The Nirvanas and Grand S.
At the clinic we examine your teeth and gums to check that they are healthy enough for the treatment.
Stage 3: Digital smile analysis
Your smile is analysed digitally to design the shape, shade and proportions of the new teeth. The aim is a natural-looking symmetry that suits your face and your bite — not the same smile for everyone.
This is the moment to talk openly about the result you want: the shade, the shape and how natural it should look.
Stage 4: Preparation and mock-up
The teeth are prepared and a mock-up shows the planned design. You see how the new smile will look before the final veneers and crowns are made, so the design can be discussed at this stage.
Stage 5: Final fitting
The final veneers and crowns are fitted, delivering the planned shape, shade and bite. The doctor checks your bite before you leave.
Your days in Istanbul
Treatment usually takes 5–7 days. The exact number depends on how many teeth are treated and whether the plan includes other steps, such as gum alignment. Your written plan sets out the days, so you can book your flights and hotel with confidence.
Our team speaks 8+ languages, so you can ask questions in your own language throughout.
Caring for your new smile
- Follow your doctor's instructions for the first days after fitting.
- Avoid biting very hard things — ice, nutshells, pens — with the new teeth.
- Brush twice a day and clean between your teeth.
- Keep your regular check-ups.
Contact us if:
- A veneer or crown feels loose, chips or breaks.
- Your bite feels uneven or high after the first days.
- Pain gets worse instead of better.

Warranty and price
Our veneers carry a 10-year warranty and our crowns a 15-year warranty.
The price depends on how many teeth are treated and the mix of veneers and crowns, so it is confirmed in your written plan. See the Hollywood Smile prices and all our prices. To compare with treatment at home, see our country comparisons.
