Hollywood Smile cost in Turkey

What is a Hollywood Smile?

Hollywood Smile is a cosmetic smile-planning term rather than one single clinical procedure. This page describes a plan for 20 zirconium crowns. A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that covers the tooth; the dentist reshapes the selected teeth to create space, takes records for the laboratory and bonds the final restorations after checking their fit, shape and bite.

The treating hospital or clinic handles appointments and communication; it arranges practical services only where these are included in the written offer. The dentist examines your teeth, gums, bite and existing restorations before deciding whether crowns are appropriate and which teeth should be included. For a wider cosmetic dentistry comparison, see our smile design Turkey cost page. The name “Hollywood Smile” is not a guarantee of a particular shade, celebrity appearance or result.

Who may consider a 20-crown plan?

Adults who want to discuss the colour, shape or visible wear of several teeth may ask about a multi-tooth crown plan. The dentist needs to check oral hygiene, gum health, decay, cracks, the bite, tooth strength and any previous treatment. The best plan may involve fewer teeth or a different restoration once the mouth has been examined.

A plan may be postponed or changed if there is active decay, gum disease, poor oral hygiene, significant grinding, an unstable bite or a tooth with an uncertain prognosis. A missing tooth, an infected pulp or a tooth that cannot be predictably restored may need a separate implant, extraction or root-canal discussion. A 20-crown price is not a recommendation to prepare 20 healthy teeth, and suitability cannot be confirmed from photographs alone.

How zirconium crowns are planned and fitted

The first stage is a dental assessment with photographs, a bite review and the records needed for the laboratory. Depending on the case, the dentist may take digital or physical impressions and discuss the proposed tooth shapes and shade. The selected teeth are prepared by removing some enamel so the crowns have space and a stable fit. Temporary restorations may be placed while the laboratory makes the final crowns.

At the fitting appointment, the dentist checks the colour, contours, contacts, margins and bite before bonding the permanent crowns. The number of visits and the time between them depend on the teeth, laboratory workflow, any temporary stage and the checks your dentist considers necessary. A temporary crown is not the final restoration, so keep follow-up appointments and report discomfort rather than accepting a poor fit.

Crowns, veneers and other treatments

• Zirconium crowns: cover the prepared tooth and are the defined 20-tooth scope on this page.
• E.max or laminate veneers: are thin shells placed on the front surface of a tooth; they require a different assessment, material choice and quote.
• Implants: replace a missing tooth with a surgical fixture and restoration; an implant is not a crown-only cosmetic add-on.
• Root-canal treatment: treats infection or disease in the pulp and is separate from the crown plan. A tooth treated this way may later need a crown, but that does not make the endodontic treatment included.
• Gum surgery, extraction or orthodontics: address different clinical problems and are outside this price unless separately itemised.

More coverage is not automatically more conservative or more suitable. Ask the dentist to explain the alternatives, how much natural tooth would be removed and what maintenance each option requires before consenting.

Appointments, anaesthetic and travel planning

Tooth preparation is commonly carried out with local anaesthetic. You remain awake, although the dentist can discuss anxiety support or another anaesthetic plan if it is clinically appropriate. The complete process is usually organised around assessment, preparation, temporary restorations if needed, laboratory fabrication and final fitting rather than one guaranteed appointment.

Plan your travel around the written dental schedule and allow time for a bite or fit check before flying home. Do not assume that a crown plan can be completed in one day, and keep your return arrangements flexible if the dentist needs another appointment. Any extra clinical visits should be itemised in the written quote.

Preparing for treatment

• Share your dental and medical history, allergies, medication, previous crowns or veneers, grinding or clenching, sensitivity and any current pain or swelling.
• Send clear photographs for an initial discussion, but arrange the clinical examination and any imaging the dentist considers necessary before consenting.
• Ask which teeth are proposed, how much preparation is expected, what alternatives exist and whether the bite or gum health needs treatment first.
• Follow the dentist’s instructions about eating, local anaesthetic, medication, smoking and oral hygiene. Do not stop prescribed medication without the clinician managing it.
• Leave enough time in the itinerary for a temporary-stage review and final bite check. Keep flights and accommodation flexible until the schedule is confirmed.

Care, recovery and long-term maintenance

It is common to have temporary sensitivity to heat or cold and some gum tenderness after crown placement. These symptoms should be discussed with the dentist if they are severe, persistent or worsening. Avoid biting ice and very hard or sticky foods while following the instructions for any temporary crowns. The final restorations are durable but not indestructible and may need repair or replacement over time.

Brush at least twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, clean between the teeth every day and attend regular examinations and professional cleanings. If you clench or grind, ask whether a custom mouth guard is appropriate. Good plaque control protects the gum margins and the tooth underneath; crowns do not make a tooth immune to decay or gum disease.

Contact your dentist promptly if a crown becomes loose, cracks, chips, develops a sharp edge or causes persistent pain, bad breath or a bad taste. A tooth may occasionally need further treatment, including root-canal treatment, after a crown has been fitted. Keep a clear local follow-up route after returning home.

Questions from you

These notes answer questions people raise before they accept a written treatment plan. They describe what that plan should make clear. They are not a promise that any partner hospital uses a particular technique, device or payment arrangement. With your consent, an enquiry may be shared with an authorised healthcare partner.

Which tooth needs treatment, will a sound tooth be cut down, and is there a more conservative option?

An extraction should not become part of an All-on plan until it is written that the tooth cannot be restored because of a crack, the remaining tooth structure, or the periodontal support. A sound tooth is not automatically reduced to even a smile line. Source: AAE on saving a natural tooth.

How will decay and gum health be assessed before a crown, implant or smile plan?

Active periodontal disease means pocket depth, bleeding and bone support are recorded before veneer or crown preparation starts. Untreated gum disease is also among the reasons a dental implant can fail. Source: FDA dental implants.

How will a new crown or prosthesis affect my bite and chewing force?

The FDA lists a bite that does not feel normal, and an abutment screw that loosens so the tooth seems to twist, among implant risks. Contact with the opposing teeth should be checked before a new crown or bridge is cemented. If you clench or grind, a night guard should be written separately. Source: FDA dental implants.

If I develop an infection, lose an implant or break a prosthesis after I go home, who follows that and who pays?

The FDA asks you to tell the dentist without delay if an implant is loose or painful. The NHS asks people treated abroad to get the cost of further treatment and a return journey in writing beforehand. Travel insurance usually does not cover surgical complications. A manufacturer’s record does not pay for a second flight or a new prosthesis. Sources: FDA dental implants, NHS advice on cosmetic surgery abroad.

Can I reverse a Hollywood Smile made with crowns?

Crown preparation usually removes some natural tooth structure, so the original tooth cannot simply be restored by taking the crown off. A different restoration may be needed instead. Before agreeing to a multi-tooth plan, ask the dentist to identify each tooth, explain the proposed preparation and discuss options that preserve more natural tooth structure.
