Hollywood Smile in Turkey
A Hollywood Smile is a full smile makeover: 20 or 24 crowns or veneers designed as one set to your face, lips and skin tone. At TUA Dental, 20 zirconia crowns cost £2,900 and 24 crowns £3,480 — designed digitally, tried in before fitting, finished in six days, hotel and VIP transfer included.
What is a Hollywood Smile?
A Hollywood Smile is a complete smile makeover: all the teeth that show when you smile — usually 20, sometimes 24 — are redesigned as one set with crowns or veneers, matched to your face, your lips and your skin tone. At TUA Dental a Hollywood Smile of 20 zirconia crowns costs £2,900 and one of 24 crowns £3,480, finished in one visit of six days.
"Full smile makeover" and "Hollywood Smile" mean the same thing. The teeth are treated as a set rather than one at a time, so colour, shape, length and alignment are decided together and the result looks like one smile, not twenty repairs. The name comes from the film-star smile, but the result does not have to be film-star white: the shade is chosen with you at the mock-up, anywhere from natural ivory to bright white, and the shape follows your face rather than a template.
Twenty teeth means the ten upper and ten lower teeth that show when you smile and speak; twenty-four adds the next tooth on each side for a wide smile that shows more. Each crown or veneer is made for one tooth in our own CAD/CAM lab, from a digital 3D scan of your mouth, in monolithic zirconia (crowns) or E.max glass-ceramic (veneers) — the same materials dentists in Britain and Ireland use.
A smaller change, such as a few veneers and whitening, is a smile makeover rather than a Hollywood Smile; both are explained, wherever you have them done, in our guides to the smile makeover and the Hollywood smile.
Who is it for?
Most patients who ask for a Hollywood Smile want to change more than one thing at once, and that is exactly when treating the teeth as a set makes sense: colour that whitening can't lift, worn or chipped edges, gaps or crowding, an uneven smile line, old fillings and crowns that no longer match. Two things decide whether a tooth gets a crown or a veneer — how much healthy tooth is left and how much its shape has to change — and the dentist decides that tooth by tooth from your photographs and your scan.
A Hollywood Smile suits teeth that are heavily filled or already crowned, teeth stained from the inside that whitening won't reach, teeth worn short by grinding, and smiles where several teeth are different lengths, shades or angles. Healthy gums come first: if your gums need treatment, that is planned before the crowns, and our specialist in periodontology is part of the team. Missing teeth are replaced with implants, which can be planned in the same smile design — see dental implants in Turkey.
Your free treatment plan lists every tooth and what it gets, so you know before you book exactly what your smile makeover includes.
Crowns or veneers for your smile makeover?
A zirconia crown costs £145 at TUA Dental and covers the whole tooth; an E.max veneer costs £185 and covers only its front surface. Which one each tooth needs is a clinical decision, and many Hollywood Smiles mix the two.
| Zirconia crown | E.max veneer | |
|---|---|---|
| Right for | Teeth that are heavily filled, cracked, worn down, root-treated or already crowned; teeth whose shape or position has to change a lot | Teeth that are sound and need a change of colour, shape or length, or small gaps closed |
| Covers | The whole tooth | The front surface |
| Tooth prepared | 1–2 mm all round | 0.3–0.7 mm on the front |
| Material | Monolithic zirconia — the strongest option, chosen for back teeth and heavily loaded smiles | E.max lithium disilicate — the most translucent, chosen for front teeth |
| Price | £145 per tooth · 20 crowns £2,900 · 24 crowns £3,480 | £185 per tooth · 8 veneers £1,480 · 10 veneers £1,850 |
The Hollywood Smile package is 20 or 24 zirconia crowns because that is what most smile-makeover patients need: teeth that have already had a lot of work, or need a lot of change. When some of your teeth are sound, the dentist puts veneers on those and crowns on the rest, and the plan prices each tooth separately. The price difference is not the reason to choose one or the other — the tooth is. More on each option: veneers in Turkey and zirconia crowns.
Digital smile design: how we plan your smile
Our dentists, led by Principal Dentist Tuğçe Arslan, plan more than 220 smile designs a year. Every Hollywood Smile at TUA Dental starts with one: you approve it on screen before any tooth is prepared, and see it in your own mouth as a mock-up on day two.
The design starts with photographs of your face at rest and smiling, and a digital 3D scan of your teeth. The new teeth are drawn to your proportions: the width of the smile against the width of the face, the two front teeth against the rest, the line your upper lip makes when you smile, the midline of your face, the curve of your gums. AI-assisted software proposes shapes and sizes; the dentist adjusts them; you see the result on screen and say what you want changed.
Then the mock-up, on day two: your designed teeth are tried in your mouth, so you see the new length, shape and shade in a mirror, in photographs and when you talk. A try-in takes up to about an hour, and anything you want altered is altered — shorter, rounder, squarer, a shade warmer. Your crowns and veneers are made in our own CAD/CAM lab, and nothing is cemented until you have approved it in your own mouth.
Send six photos of your teeth for your smile design — we send back the plan and the price, tooth by tooth.
Your six-day visit
A Hollywood Smile at TUA Dental takes one visit of six days; a 24-tooth set is planned over up to eight. You arrive on day one and leave on day six with your finished smile — hotel and VIP transfer included.

Natural or Hollywood white? Choosing your shade
The two most common requests we hear are opposites — "I don't want it to look fake" and "I want them really white" — and both are yours to make. At TUA Dental the shade is chosen at the mock-up, in your own mouth, within the first two days of your visit, from natural ivory tones to the brightest "bleach" shades.
What makes a smile look fake is rarely the whiteness alone. It is a flat, opaque white with no depth, teeth made too long or too wide for the face, and twenty identical shapes in a row. What makes a smile look natural is the opposite: a little translucency at the edges, a shade that sits a touch warmer than the whites of your eyes, lengths that follow your lip line, and small differences between neighbouring teeth, the way real teeth have. Our designs are built that way by default, and then made as bright as you want them.
The dentist recommends; you decide. We will tell you which shade suits your skin tone and your age, and show you both options in the mock-up — and if you want the brighter one, that is what we make. One thing to know before you choose: zirconia and E.max keep their shade for life and cannot be whitened afterwards, which is a strength (no staining from coffee, tea or wine) and the reason the decision is made with a mock-up in your mouth rather than from a shade chart. Shades, and how they are matched to skin tone, have a chapter of their own in this guide, with a colour chart: veneers or crowns, shaving and shades.
Aftercare and guarantee
Your crowns carry a 5-year guarantee, and aftercare is included. On the day of your final check you leave with two things: written aftercare notes and your treatment record, so your own dentist at home has everything needed for routine check-ups.
Looking after a Hollywood Smile is the same as looking after teeth: brush twice a day, floss or use interdental brushes along the gum line — the crowns don't stain or decay, but the gum around them is still yours — and keep your six-monthly check-ups. If you grind your teeth at night, wear a night guard (ask us about one). Your coordinator stays in touch after you fly home; if anything feels wrong, you send a photograph and the dentist tells you what to do, and if a visit is needed we plan it with you.

What is a Hollywood Smile?
A Hollywood Smile is a full smile makeover: the 20 or 24 teeth that show when you smile are redesigned as one set with crowns or veneers, matched to your face, lips and skin tone. The name comes from the film-star smile, but the shade is yours to choose — from natural ivory to bright white — and the shapes follow your face rather than a template. At TUA Dental the set is designed digitally by Tuğçe Arslan, Principal Dentist, approved by you before any tooth is prepared, tried in your mouth as a mock-up and made in our own CAD/CAM lab in monolithic zirconia or E.max. "Smile makeover" and "Hollywood Smile" are the same treatment.
How much does a Hollywood Smile cost in Turkey?
At TUA Dental a Hollywood Smile of 20 zirconia crowns costs £2,900 and one of 24 crowns £3,480 — £145 per crown — with consultation, digital 3D scan, smile design, mock-up, hotel and VIP transfer included. If some of your teeth are sound and get E.max veneers instead, those are £185 per tooth and your treatment plan prices each tooth separately. Flights are not included; we help you plan them, free. There are no hidden costs: the price in your free treatment plan is the price you pay. For patients from Ireland the 20-crown set is €3,400 and the 24-crown set €4,080, and 20% can be claimed back from Revenue with a Form Med 2.
How many teeth are in a Hollywood Smile?
Usually 20: the ten upper and ten lower teeth that show when you smile and speak. A 24-tooth set adds the next tooth on each side, top and bottom, for a wide smile that shows more teeth when you laugh. Which you need depends on how wide your smile is and how far back your teeth are visible — the dentist checks this on your photographs and shows you both options in the smile design.
Is a Hollywood Smile painful?
No. The teeth are prepared under local anaesthetic, so you feel pressure but no pain. You wear temporary teeth between preparation and fitting, so you are never without teeth, and the finished crowns are tried in before they are cemented. Some sensitivity to hot and cold in the first days after fitting is normal and settles on its own; your aftercare notes tell you what to expect and what to do. Most patients are back to normal eating within days, and your coordinator is a message away throughout.
Is a Hollywood Smile permanent? How long does it last?
A Hollywood Smile is a permanent treatment: once a tooth has been prepared for a crown or a veneer it will always need one. The crowns and veneers themselves last many years with good care — zirconia and E.max do not stain, decay or change colour — and when one is eventually replaced, the new one is made on the same prepared tooth. Your crowns carry a 5-year guarantee. The two things that shorten their life are grinding and biting very hard objects with the front teeth; a night guard takes care of the first. How long crowns, veneers and implants last, treatment by treatment, has its own chapter in this guide: how long Turkey teeth last.
Crowns or veneers for a Hollywood Smile?
Both, often. A zirconia crown (£145) covers the whole tooth and is right for teeth that are heavily filled, cracked, worn, root-treated or already crowned, or whose shape and position have to change a lot. An E.max veneer (£185) covers only the front and is right for sound teeth that need a change of colour, shape or length. The Hollywood Smile package is 20 or 24 zirconia crowns because most smile-makeover patients' teeth have already had a lot of work; when some of your teeth are sound, the dentist puts veneers on those and crowns on the rest, and your treatment plan prices each tooth. The price difference is not the reason to choose — the tooth is.
Will a Hollywood Smile look fake?
Not if it is designed to your face. Smiles look fake when the teeth are a flat, opaque white, too long or too wide for the face, and all the same shape. At TUA Dental the set is designed to your proportions — lip line, midline, the width of your smile — with slight translucency at the edges and small natural differences between neighbouring teeth, and you see it in your own mouth as a mock-up before your final teeth are made. The shade is your decision: we recommend what suits your skin tone and show you both natural and brighter options at the try-in, and if you want the brighter one, that is what we make. Nothing is cemented until you have approved it.
How long do I stay in Turkey for a Hollywood Smile?
One visit of six days at TUA Dental; a 24-tooth set is planned over up to eight. Day one is the examination, photographs, digital scan and smile design and, once you approve the design, the preparation and temporary teeth; day two the mock-up in your mouth; days three and four try-ins while your crowns are made in our own CAD/CAM lab; day five cementing and polish; day six a final check and photographs before you fly home. Hotel and VIP transfer are included, the clinic is open seven days a week, and between appointments you are free to enjoy Kuşadası. Direct flights to Izmir from London Stansted, Gatwick, Manchester and Dublin.
