What Is a Hollywood Smile?
A Hollywood Smile is a complete aesthetic redesign of the visible teeth — usually 16 to 20 units across both jaws — using ceramic veneers and crowns. The goal is not one whitened tooth but a harmonious smile: shape, length, colour and gum line designed to fit your face. In modern clinical practice the materials of choice are E-max lithium disilicate for front teeth (survival rates of about 95% at 10 years in clinical studies) and zirconia for load-bearing areas.
Done well, a Hollywood Smile does not look “done” at all. The most common request we hear at Stom Dental Centre from British, German and Russian patients is the same: bright, but natural — no piano-key teeth.
Veneers or Crowns — an Honest Distinction
A veneer covers only the front surface and requires minimal grinding (about 0.3–0.7 mm); it is the right tool for healthy teeth that need better shape and colour. A crown wraps the whole tooth and is the right tool when teeth are already heavily filled, root-canal treated or structurally weak. Many smile makeovers combine both. Be cautious of any clinic that quotes “veneers” for every case without seeing your X-ray: grinding healthy teeth to crowns unnecessarily is exactly the practice that created the term “Turkey teeth” — and it is avoidable with honest planning.
How Your Smile Is Designed at Stom Dental Centre
Your treatment starts before the first drill: photos, X-ray/CBCT and a digital smile design that you approve. In the first days of your 5–7-day visit the teeth are prepared and a full set of temporaries is fitted — you test-drive the new length and shape. The final E-max and zirconia units are manufactured in the digital workflow, individually characterised and glazed, then bonded under the control of the aesthetic team of DDS Fuat Biter and the prosthodontic lead DDS PhD Telman Iskender. One visit is usually sufficient; complex combined cases plan a second short visit.
What Does a Hollywood Smile Cost in 2026?
In Türkiye a complete Hollywood Smile with 16–20 units typically costs €2,500–5,000 in 2026, depending on material mix (composite, E-max, zirconia) and case complexity. Comparable full-mouth aesthetic work is commonly quoted at £8,000–20,000 in the UK and €12,000–40,000 in Germany or the USA. At Stom Dental Centre your quote is written and fixed after the X-ray review, includes design, temporaries, all units and fitting — and prosthetic work carries a 10-year written guarantee.
Honest Limitations You Should Know
Ceramic units are durable but not indestructible: night-grinding (bruxism) without a protective night guard is the main cause of chipping, which is why we include a splint recommendation for grinders. Existing gum disease must be treated before any aesthetic work. And a Hollywood Smile does not remove the need for hygiene — the margins between crown and tooth need the same care as natural teeth.

What is a Hollywood Smile treatment?
A Hollywood Smile is a full aesthetic redesign of the visible teeth, typically 16–20 ceramic units (E-max veneers or crowns for front teeth, zirconia for load-bearing teeth) across both jaws. Shape, length, colour and gum line are designed digitally to suit the individual face, previewed with temporaries, and finished in about 5–7 days at Stom Dental Centre in Antalya. Clinical studies report around 95% survival for lithium-disilicate restorations at 10 years, and the clinic backs prosthetic work with a written 10-year guarantee.

Treatment Process: Step by Step
- Records and X-Ray Review — Photos, X-ray or CBCT and a candid discussion of what your teeth actually need — veneers, crowns or a combination.
- Digital Smile Design — Your new smile is designed on screen — tooth shape, length, and shade matched to your face — and approved by you before preparation.
- Tooth Preparation — Minimal-invasive preparation: ~0.3–0.7 mm for veneers; more only where crowns are clinically indicated.
- Temporaries — A full set of temporaries lets you test length, shape and speech for several days — adjustments happen here, not after cementation.
- Manufacture — E-max and zirconia units are milled, individually characterised and glazed by the dental technicians in the digital workflow.
- Try-In and Bonding — Each unit is tried in, checked for fit, bite and colour, then adhesively bonded under isolation.
- Final Control and Aftercare — Bite fine-tuning, hygiene instructions, night-guard for grinders, written guarantee documents and WhatsApp aftercare.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Ideal Candidates
- Patients unhappy with tooth colour, shape, gaps or worn edges across the visible smile
- Teeth already heavily filled or discoloured where crowns are clinically justified
- Patients wanting a complete, harmonised result rather than tooth-by-tooth fixes
- International patients who can dedicate 5–7 days for a single-visit makeover
- Patients ready to wear a night guard if they grind
May Need Alternative Options
- Untreated gum disease — periodontal health comes first, aesthetics second
- Patients expecting perfectly white, identical 'piano-key' teeth — we design natural smiles
- Severe bite collapse requiring full-mouth rehabilitation rather than aesthetic units
- Patients seeking veneers on healthy teeth where whitening plus bonding would suffice — we say so honestly
Benefits and Considerations
Benefits
- Complete smile harmony — shape, colour, length and gum line designed together
- E-max delivers natural translucency with ~95% 10-year survival in studies
- Full preview with temporaries before anything is final
- 5–7 days total treatment time in one visit
- Costs typically 60–75% below UK/German quotes for identical materials
- Written 10-year guarantee on prosthetic work
Considerations
- Enamel removed for veneers/crowns does not grow back — honest case selection matters
- Bruxists need a night guard to protect ceramic edges
- Gum health must be established before aesthetic work
- Very heavy coffee/tobacco staining affects natural teeth, not ceramics — plan the shade wisely
- A second short visit is planned for complex combined cases

The best compliment a smile makeover can receive is that nobody notices it is a makeover. We design brightness with restraint — the shade, shape and slight individuality that make teeth look genuinely yours. Anyone can make teeth white; the craft is making them believable.Dr. Telman IskenderDDS, Oral Surgery Specialist, 20+ Years Experience — Stom Dental Centre, Antalya
