Smile Makeover in Turkey: Frequently Asked Questions
What does a smile makeover include in Turkey?
A smile makeover in Turkey usually includes a free digital smile design, a 3D scan, professional cleaning and whitening, a custom set of porcelain veneers, zirconium crowns or composite bonding, optional laser gum contouring, a trial smile and temporary teeth, a final fitting, aftercare guidance and a written warranty. Your exact plan depends on your teeth, gums and goals, and our dentist confirms it after your free online consultation. See our smile makeover and Hollywood smile service.
How much does a smile makeover cost in Turkey?
A complete smile makeover with 10 E.max porcelain veneers, cleaning, whitening and laser gum contouring starts from €1,990 ($2,149) at our Istanbul clinic. A lighter Essential Refresh starts at €690 ($745), the Hollywood Premium with 20 veneers is €3,490 ($3,769), and the VIP Makeover Holiday with 5 hotel nights, VIP transfers and a city tour is €2,390 ($2,581). That is up to 83% less than typical US prices. See veneers in Turkey price.
How long does a smile makeover take in Turkey?
Most patients complete a smile makeover in Turkey in 5 to 7 days. Day 1 covers the exam, 3D scan, smile design, whitening and tooth preparation. Your new teeth are made in our lab over the next 3 days, and the final try-in, bonding and bite check take place on days 5 to 7. A lighter makeover with bonding and whitening can be finished in 2 to 3 days.
How many veneers do I need for a smile makeover?
Most natural smile makeovers use 8 to 10 veneers to cover the teeth visible when you smile. A soft Hollywood smile typically uses 10 to 14 veneers, and a full top-and-bottom Hollywood transformation uses 16 to 20. We confirm the exact number during your digital smile design, based on your smile line, lip movement and tooth size. Learn about dental veneers.
What is the difference between a smile makeover and a Hollywood smile?
A smile makeover is a personalized plan that combines different treatments such as whitening, veneers, crowns, bonding and gum contouring to improve your whole smile. A Hollywood smile is one popular style within a makeover: very bright, symmetrical and usually made with 16 to 20 veneers. Every Hollywood smile is a smile makeover, but not every smile makeover needs to look Hollywood. Read our Hollywood smile Turkey price guide.
Does a smile makeover hurt?
No. Treatment is done under local anesthesia, so you should feel pressure but no pain. Afterwards, mild sensitivity or gum tenderness for a few days is normal and is easy to manage with simple over-the-counter pain relief and our aftercare guide. Laser gum contouring heals quickly with minimal discomfort.
Do veneers ruin your natural teeth?
No, when done correctly. E.max veneers are ultra-thin, and we usually remove only 0.3 to 0.7 mm of enamel, so most of your natural tooth is preserved. Because a thin layer of enamel is reshaped, veneers are considered a long-term commitment, which is why we show you a trial smile first and confirm you are a good candidate. Compare options like composite bonding if you want minimal shaping.
How long does a smile makeover last?
Porcelain veneers typically last 10 to 20 years with good care, zirconium crowns 15 years or more, composite bonding 5 to 8 years and whitening 1 to 2 years. Our veneers and crowns come with a 5-year written warranty. Brushing twice daily, flossing, wearing a night guard if prescribed and seeing your dentist every 6 months help your makeover last longer.
Is a smile makeover in Turkey safe?
Yes, when you choose a clinic with licensed dentists, digital planning, certified ceramic materials, sterile single-use instruments, a written treatment plan and a warranty. We examine you first, show a preview of your new smile before treatment and tell you honestly if a treatment is not right for you. Read how to avoid problems in our Turkey teeth gone wrong guide.
What is not included in a smile makeover package?
Flights, meals and personal expenses are not included, and neither are treatments that are only discovered at your exam, such as implants, orthodontics, major gum surgery or extra root canals. Digital smile design, scans and cleaning are always included in our packages. We give you a clear written quote for any extra treatment before starting. See dental implants and root canal treatment if you need them.
Can I get a smile makeover with gum disease or missing teeth?
Yes, but we treat the foundation first. Active gum disease and cavities are treated before any cosmetic work so your new smile lasts. Missing teeth can be restored with dental implants or dental bridges and then matched with veneers. Send us a panoramic X-ray on WhatsApp and our dentist will explain your options.
