Hollywood Smile
Hollywood Smile in Turkey — A Complete Smile Transformation, Designed Around You
The smile you’ve always wanted — custom-designed, precisely crafted, and completed in 5–7 days. From £1600.
A Hollywood Smile is not a single treatment. It is a complete redesign of your smile — combining veneers, crowns and whitening into one cohesive result, planned from scratch around your face, your features and the outcome you have in mind.
It is the most comprehensive cosmetic dental transformation available. And in Turkey, it is available at a fraction of what you would pay in the UK — with the same ceramics, the same digital design technology and the same internationally trained cosmetic dentists.
This page tells you exactly what a Hollywood Smile involves, how the design process works, what the treatment looks like across your 5–7 days in Turkey, and what everything costs — before you speak to anyone.
What Is a Hollywood Smile?
A complete smile transformation — not a single treatment
The term “Hollywood Smile” describes the outcome, not a single procedure. It refers to a complete cosmetic transformation of the smile — typically involving:
- Porcelain veneers on the front teeth (the teeth that show when you smile)
- Zirconia crowns where veneers are not appropriate (heavily restored or structurally compromised teeth)
- Professional teeth whitening on any natural teeth not being covered by veneers or crowns — ensuring the full smile is consistent in shade
- Gum contouring in selected cases — where an uneven gum line affects the symmetry of the smile
The result is a smile with perfect symmetry, consistent colour, ideal proportions and a surface texture that responds to light the way natural teeth do — without looking artificial.
The design is not a template. Every Hollywood Smile treatment is planned specifically for the individual patient — around their face shape, skin tone, lip line and personal preferences. What looks exceptional on one person does not work on another. This is where the skill of the cosmetic dentist and the design process matter most.
Who is a Hollywood Smile for?
A Hollywood Smile is appropriate for patients who:
- Want a complete smile transformation — not just one or two corrections
- Have multiple cosmetic concerns: staining, uneven teeth, chips, gaps, proportion, gum line
- Are ready for a definitive, long-term result rather than incremental improvements
- Have healthy teeth and gums, or are willing to address any health concerns before treatment begins
- Understand that the treatment involves minimal, permanent preparation of the tooth surface
A Hollywood Smile is not for patients who:
- Have significant structural or health concerns that need resolving first — these are addressed separately
- Want a subtle enhancement — for single or limited corrections, individual porcelain veneers are more appropriate
Why Have Your Hollywood Smile Done in Turkey?
The design is custom. The materials are global. The price is not UK.
A Hollywood Smile at a top London cosmetic practice costs between £10,000 and £20,000 — sometimes significantly more, depending on the number of teeth and the combination of treatments involved.
In Turkey, the same treatment — the same Ivoclar e.max ceramics, the same Digital Smile Design technology, the same internationally accredited cosmetic dentists — starts from £1600.
That difference does not reflect a difference in quality. It reflects the difference between running a practice in central London and running a practice in Turkey.

Your Hollywood Smile — Day by Day
A Hollywood Smile in Turkey is completed in 5–7 days, in a single visit.
Before You Travel — Smile Assessment (Online)
You send a photo of your smile — front-facing, in natural light. If you have reference images of smiles you admire, send those too. Our cosmetic dentist reviews your case and comes back with:
- An assessment of which teeth need treatment and why
- The recommended combination of veneers, crowns and whitening
- A preliminary digital smile preview in selected cases
- A full, itemised cost breakdown
Free. No commitment. Usually within 24 hours.
Day 1 — Arrival in Turkey
Your driver meets you at the airport with a name board. You’re taken directly to your hotel. Your coordinator messages you that evening with your full schedule — every appointment, every day, mapped out.
Day 2 — Smile Design Session
This appointment is the foundation of everything that follows — and for most patients, it is unlike any dental appointment they have experienced.
Facial analysis: Your dentist studies your face — the proportions between your eyes, nose, lips and chin. The width and length of teeth that will suit your face. The position of your midline. The curvature of your smile relative to your lower lip. This is not aesthetic opinion — it is a structured analysis with established cosmetic parameters.
Digital Smile Design (DSD): Using high-resolution photos and, in many cases, a short video of you speaking and smiling naturally, the dentist designs your new smile digitally. You see the proposed result overlaid on your own face — before any treatment begins.
Your input: You tell the dentist what you like, what you want adjusted, what you are not sure about. The design is refined until you are satisfied. Nothing is fixed until you approve it.
Shade selection: Under calibrated lighting, you choose your target shade — guided by your dentist’s recommendation for what will look natural on your skin tone and in different lighting conditions. The shade that photographs well and the shade that looks natural in conversation are not always the same. You’ll be guided honestly.
This appointment typically takes 1–2 hours. Take your time.
Day 3 — Preparation & Temporary Smile
With the design agreed, treatment begins.
Preparation: A minimal amount of enamel is removed from the front surface of each tooth to be veneered — typically 0.3mm to 0.5mm. For teeth receiving crowns, slightly more preparation is required. Local anaesthesia is used throughout. The procedure is comfortable.
Impressions: Digital impressions are taken and sent to the laboratory, along with your shade record and the DSD design file. Your ceramicist works from this data to fabricate your veneers and crowns.
Temporary smile: High-quality temporaries are bonded to your prepared teeth — shaped and shaded to closely resemble your final result. You leave the clinic that afternoon with a temporary version of your Hollywood Smile in place.
Most patients are already delighted with their temporaries. The final result is better.
Days 4 & 5 — The City is Yours
The laboratory needs 2–3 days to fabricate your final restorations. These days are yours — to rest, explore and wear your temporary smile into the world.
Turkey offers beaches, culture, history, cuisine and shopping. Your coordinator has recommendations ready.
Some patients experience mild sensitivity during this period — normal and temporary. Your aftercare notes will include what to eat and what to avoid.
Day 6 — The Fitting
Your final veneers and crowns arrive from the laboratory. This is the central appointment of your entire visit.
Trial placement: Each veneer and crown is placed on the tooth — without bonding — so you can see, feel and assess the result before it is made permanent. Shade, shape, length, surface texture — everything is checked.
Your approval: You look in the mirror. You assess in different lighting. You are asked, directly, whether you are happy with every aspect of the result. If anything is not right, it is adjusted or remade. Nothing is bonded until you are satisfied.
Permanent bonding: Once approved, the veneers and crowns are bonded using dental-grade adhesive. Bite alignment is checked and refined chairside.
Whitening (if applicable): Professional whitening is applied to any natural teeth not covered by veneers or crowns — ensuring the full smile is consistent in shade.
Final polish: The completed smile is polished. Your dentist checks the result from every angle.
You leave this appointment with your Hollywood Smile.
Day 7 — Final Review & Departure
A brief check appointment confirms everything is comfortable, your bite is settled and you are fully satisfied with the result.
You receive:
- Post-treatment photos for your records
- Veneer and crown material certificates with shade references
- Written 3-year guarantee document
- Aftercare guide — what to avoid, how to maintain, what to expect
- Your dentist’s direct contact for any future queries

The Materials Behind Your Hollywood Smile
The appearance of your Hollywood Smile is determined, in large part, by the ceramic used to fabricate it. Here is what we use — and why the choice matters.
Ivoclar e.max — The Primary Choice for Veneers
Lithium disilicate ceramic from Ivoclar Vivadent — the global standard for aesthetic veneer fabrication. e.max is chosen for Hollywood Smile cases because it produces the most natural-looking result available:
- Layered translucency: Light enters the ceramic, reflects within it and exits — exactly as it does in natural enamel. This is what separates a natural-looking smile from one that appears “too perfect” or artificial under different lighting conditions.
- Shade depth: e.max is not uniformly white throughout. It has internal shade gradations — lighter at the incisal edge, slightly warmer at the body — that mimic the characteristics of natural teeth.
- Surface texture: The final characterisation by the ceramicist adds micro-surface detail — subtle ridges, slight translucency at the edges — that make the veneer behave like a tooth, not a ceramic panel.
An e.max Hollywood Smile looks like your best natural teeth — not like a smile from a catalogue.
Vita Zirconia — For Strength and Durability
Where e.max is the aesthetic benchmark, high-translucency Vita Zirconia is the strength benchmark. Used for:
- Patients with heavier bite forces
- Patients with mild-to-moderate bruxism (grinding) who require the additional resilience of zirconia
- Posterior teeth within the smile line where the aesthetic premium of e.max is less critical
Modern zirconia has closed the aesthetic gap with e.max significantly. In a full Hollywood Smile, a skilled ceramicist can blend zirconia and e.max restorations so the colour and surface texture are indistinguishable.
Digital Smile Design Technology
Every Hollywood Smile case is designed using Digital Smile Design (DSD) software — a system that allows the cosmetic dentist to:
- Map the relationship between your facial proportions and your smile
- Design the proposed smile digitally, overlaid on photos and video of your actual face
- Share the design with you for approval — before any preparation begins
- Send the finalised design file directly to the dental laboratory for fabrication
The result is a smile that was designed for your face — not adapted from a standard template.
CAD/CAM Fabrication and Ceramicist Finishing
Your veneers and crowns are milled from solid blocks of certified ceramic using CNC CAD/CAM equipment — ensuring micron-level precision in fit, thickness and shape. The final characterisation — the surface detail that makes the restoration look like a tooth — is applied by hand by a skilled dental ceramicist.
Both stages are necessary. Precision without artistry produces a technically correct but visually mechanical result. Artistry without precision produces beautiful ceramics that don’t fit. The combination is what makes the difference.

Laura M., 36 — Manchester, UK
Treatment: Hollywood Smile — 10 e.max veneers + professional whitening Concerns: Severe staining, uneven lengths, asymmetric gum line Duration: 6 days Saved vs. UK quote: £7,200
“I’ve wanted this since I was a teenager. I’m 36 now. I kept putting it off — the UK price, the time, not knowing who to trust. I flew to Turkey on a Monday. By Saturday I was home with the smile I’d spent twenty years imagining. I stood in front of the mirror for ten minutes on the fitting day. I couldn’t stop.”
Steven C., 44 — Glasgow, UK
Treatment: Hollywood Smile — 12 teeth (e.max veneers + zirconia crowns) + gum contouring Concerns: Heavily stained teeth, uneven gum line, multiple old composite fillings on front teeth Duration: 7 days Saved vs. UK quote: £9,000
“The Design session on Day 2 was something I wasn’t prepared for. Seeing your new smile on your own face — before a single tooth is touched — is genuinely extraordinary. I changed the shade slightly and adjusted the length of two teeth. By the end I was looking at exactly what I wanted. What was delivered was better.”
Nadia H., 31 — Leeds, UK
Treatment: Hollywood Smile — 8 e.max veneers Concerns: Gap between front teeth, discolouration, worn edges Duration: 6 days Saved vs. UK quote: £5,600
“Everyone told me to go to London. I went to Turkey. My London-based dentist friend examined my result on my return and asked who did them. When I told him — and the cost — he went quiet for a long time. That was the best endorsement I could have asked for.”
What Hollywood Smile Patients Say
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Gemma R., Liverpool, UK
“I want to give a specific, useful review rather than just five stars and ‘amazing.’ I had 10 e.max veneers — upper and lower front teeth — plus whitening on the remaining teeth. The shade I chose was B1, which my dentist said would look natural in daylight rather than bleached-white in photos. She was right. Three months on, in every lighting condition, they look entirely natural. The DSD session was worth the trip alone. I’ve recommended Gee Smile to four people since returning.”
Treatment: Hollywood Smile — 10 e.max veneers + whitening · July 2025
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Chris B., Southampton, UK
“The temporary smile they put in on Day 3 was already better than anything I’d had before. I kept thinking — if the temporaries look this good, what will the finals be like? The answer is: considerably better. The ceramicist’s work is extraordinary. My UK dentist, who was initially sceptical, examined them and said they were among the best veneers she’d seen. She asked for the clinic’s details.”
Treatment: Hollywood Smile — 12 teeth (e.max veneers + zirconia crowns) · December 2025
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — Hannah W., Edinburgh, UK
“I came alone and I was nervous. From the airport pickup to the flight home, I never once felt uncertain about where I was or what was happening. The coordinator’s daily check-ins made it feel completely supported. The result is beyond what I hoped for. My confidence has changed. That’s not an exaggeration — it has genuinely changed how I carry myself.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is included in a “Hollywood Smile” — is it just veneers?
Not necessarily. A Hollywood Smile refers to the complete outcome — not a fixed list of procedures. For most patients it involves veneers on the front teeth, with crowns where individual teeth are too heavily restored or structurally compromised for a veneer. Whitening is included for any natural teeth not covered by veneers or crowns, ensuring the full smile is consistent. In some cases, gum contouring is added to correct an uneven gum line. Your treatment plan specifies exactly what is included for your teeth — tooth by tooth — before you commit to anything.
Will it look natural, or obviously artificial?
Done well, a Hollywood Smile looks like an exceptional natural smile — not like ceramic panels. The key factors are shade selection (choosing a shade that suits your skin tone, not the brightest option available), material choice (e.max for its natural translucency) and the skill of the ceramicist in adding surface characterisation. We will guide you honestly on shade — many patients want brighter than looks natural on their face. We’ll show you the difference in the design session before anything is decided.
How is Hollywood Smile different from a Smile Makeover?
In practice, they are closely related — both describe comprehensive cosmetic transformations combining multiple treatments. “Hollywood Smile” tends to describe a more complete, high-specification result across the full smile. A Smile Makeover may be more targeted — addressing specific concerns rather than a complete redesign. In conversation with your coordinator, both terms describe the same planning process. The distinction matters less than the design session, where your specific case is assessed and planned precisely.
How many teeth does a Hollywood Smile typically cover?
Most Hollywood Smile treatments cover between 8 and 16 teeth — the teeth that are visible when you smile. The exact number depends on your smile line: how wide your smile is and how many teeth show. During your smile design session, the dentist assesses your natural smile line and recommends exactly how many teeth should be included for a complete, consistent result. Treating too few teeth can leave a visible join between veneered and natural teeth. We’ll tell you honestly what your smile line requires.
Can I choose my shade, or does the dentist decide?
You choose — guided by your dentist’s recommendation. The shade selection session uses a calibrated shade guide and is conducted under standardised lighting. Your dentist will recommend shades that complement your skin tone, look natural in daylight and in photos, and remain consistent under artificial lighting. They will show you the difference between the shades you’re considering. The final decision is yours. The recommendation is there to help you avoid a result you will regret — a shade that photographs brilliantly but looks unnatural in conversation, for example.
What happens on the day of the fitting if I don’t like something?
The trial placement step exists precisely for this. Before permanent bonding, each veneer and crown is placed on the tooth without adhesive — so you can assess the result in a mirror, under different lighting conditions, from different angles. If anything is not right — shape, shade, length, surface texture — it is adjusted or remade before bonding. Nothing is permanently fixed until you approve it, specifically and explicitly. This is non-negotiable.
Is gum contouring painful? Do I need it?
Gum contouring (laser reshaping of the gum line) is performed under local anaesthesia and takes approximately 30–45 minutes. There is minimal discomfort during and after the procedure — mild tenderness for 2–3 days, easily managed. Whether you need it depends on your gum line. If your gums are uneven — exposing different amounts of tooth on different teeth — contouring significantly improves the symmetry of the final result. If your gum line is even, it is not necessary. Your dentist will assess this honestly during your Day 2 design session.
What aftercare does a Hollywood Smile require?
Routine dental hygiene — brushing, flossing, and water flossing between the teeth — plus regular check-ups with your UK dentist every 6 months. If you grind your teeth, a night guard is essential — grinding is the primary cause of veneer fracture under normal function. Avoid biting directly into very hard foods (hard crusts, raw carrots, ice) with your front veneered teeth — cut these first. The ceramics are durable, not indestructible. Your aftercare guide covers all of this in detail, with a day-by-day timeline for the first month post-treatment.
What is the long-term plan — do veneers last forever?
Porcelain veneers and zirconia crowns are long-term restorations, not permanent ones. With proper care, e.max veneers typically last 10–15 years. Zirconia crowns can last 15 years or longer. When they eventually need replacing, this is routine cosmetic dentistry — manageable by any competent cosmetic dentist, including in the UK. Your material certificates and shade records mean the replacement can be matched precisely. Our guarantee covers the first 3 years. Beyond that, regular maintenance is the best investment in longevity.
