Hollywood smile’s cost as an integrated procedure in Turkey
Turkey has gained a wide fame in the field of cosmetic dental procedures, most notably Hollywood smile. This is due to its affordable cost compared to other countries, and the use of the latest technologies by specialized dentists with extensive experience.
In addition, it is a tourist country with distinction, it contains charming areas. Which makes your medical trip entertaining and at almost the same costs.
Before determining the cost accurately, you should first determine the necessary procedures during this cosmetic operation.
The Hollywood smile includes many procedures to be done to reach the desired perfect smile. While some patients only need whitening, others need to correct teeth defects or fractures, filling or restoring them and perhaps having orthodontics or dental implants.
Then the final procedure is done by installing the dental lenses such as veneers, luminaires, zircon scales or dental crowns.
It is important to make an accurate diagnosis so that the dentist can determine the procedures that the patient needs, and thus determine the final cost of a full Hollywood smile.
For example, the patient may need a simple teeth whitening that does not exceed 200$, while if he needs more procedures such as dental lenses or dental implants, the cost may reach 3500$.
Some see that there is a discrepancy in the prices of Hollywood smiles in Turkey, and that is due to the difference in the number of necessary procedures and their cost. And here we see that it is important to get the initial consultation which is often free in many Turkish cosmetic dental centers.
In the consultation session, the dentist uses X-ray or 3D imaging methods to detect all the teeth problems which need to be treated, and develop an integrated treatment plan, and thus determine the full cost of the Hollywood smile with all its corrective and cosmetic procedures.
Getting a Hollywood smile in Turkey is a somewhat complicated process, as it is not a cosmetic procedure that is limited to the external appearance only. It is a process that requires a combination of corrective and cosmetic procedures to achieve a flawless smile and healthy and shiny teeth.
Reaching this goal requires treating dental problems such as cavities, spacing and missing teeth.
When the patient decides to start treating and beautifying his teeth, the dentist will accurately examine the teeth to detect any fractures overlapping or missing teeth.
Then comes the second stage, which is to start with corrective and cosmetic procedures to obtain a Hollywood smile.
In this article, we will review the procedures that precede the Hollywood smile: their importance, how to implement them and their costs.
Cosmetic dentistry is not limited to improving the appearance of the teeth, but it also works to treat and beautify the gums and the smile as a whole.

Some foods and drinks, such as coffee, tea, wine and tobacco, can cause discoloration of the teeth, which requires teeth whitening. It is an easy and simple procedure that is done by breaking up the stained enamel to restore the natural color of the teeth.
Teeth whitening in Turkey includes many types of treatment. Including those that take place in the clinic where the dentist puts peroxide gel on the teeth and then applies a light beam to activate it.
The gel is left on the teeth for about 15 minutes, then the process is repeated 4 times until the desired result is obtained.
At the end of the session, the patient gets a lighter color between 4 and 8 degrees.
But some people prefer home teeth whitening, which is done by using plates that the dentist prepares according to the size of the patient's mouth, so the whitening gel is placed on the teeth for a period of not less than an hour per day.
Although home whitening is less expensive, it takes a lot of time and may not give the desired results in addition, it needs to be repeated from time to time.
There are also some treatments that can be purchased from pharmacies, but they are much less effective than professional treatment

Cost: 2000-4000 $

Dental scales with a minimally invasive procedure eliminate many irregularities, and with the precise production and processing of hard ceramic/porcelain, they look completely natural. Dental veneers are an extremely thin, individually made layer (thickness of contact lenses) of porcelain that is attached to your teeth by the dentist.
Dental veneers are most often chosen by individuals because of stained, damaged or chipped teeth. They can also eliminate the asymmetry of the teeth and create a beautiful smile, because porcelain imitates the enamel of a natural tooth and reflects light, so after the procedure your teeth will have a natural appearance, shine and a brilliant smile. In the case of a gap between the teeth, veneers can effectively hide congenital tooth irregularities, as well as mild forms of crooked teeth.
To protect these scales from damage, you must avoid the following habits:
● Using teeth to open cans.
● Biting nails
● Using teeth to break ice.
Treatment’s duration: from a few months to about two years. Depending on the type of orthodontic used.
Cost: between 1000- 2000$

● Color-supported braces.
● Invisible transparent braces in the mouth

Also known as gum reshaping or tissue sculpting, this cosmetic dental procedure can even out an uneven gum line and give you a smile you can be proud of. While this is more often a cosmetic surgery, it is also done to fight periodontal disease.
Restorative dentistry aims to restore tooth function by repairing or replacing damaged teeth. Corrective and cosmetic procedures are usually combined in order to obtain a Hollywood smile in Turkey. Among these procedures:
● Composite restoration.

A Composite Filling is a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture used to restore decayed/carious teeth. Composites are also used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the color of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth.
The composite restoration is done by isolating the tooth. Then, etching and preparing the surface being restored with tooth adhesive. Layering the composite material in small increments and molding it to the required shape. After, the composite resin is polymerised with ultraviolet light to set and finally, the restoration is adjusted and polished.
Treatment’s duration: From one day to a week, depending on the number of teeth to be corrected.
Cost: 1000- 1500$
Results duration: 10-20 years
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that restores a decayed, broken, weak or worn-down tooth. Dentists also use crowns to cover dental implants and root canal-treated teeth. Made from a variety of materials, including metal, resin and porcelain, crowns last between 10 and 20 years with proper care.
Crowns are a way of protecting teeth that are weak or have been broken. They also help improve the appearance of teeth that are irregularly shaped or stained. Crowns can last many years if they are cared for properly.
But sometimes they break or fall off. This might be because the cement does not hold, or it might be because the tooth under the crown has decayed.
Treatment’s duration: From one day to a week
Cost: 500- 1000$
Results duration: 10-15 years for conventional bridges, 10 years for resin bridges
Dental bridges can fill the gap with one or more artificial teeth. A bridge is typically made of crowns on either side of the missing tooth or teeth supporting the pontic (false tooth) and is cemented in place.
During the first visit for getting a dental bridge, the abutment teeth are prepared by removing a portion of enamel to allow room for a crown. Next, impressions of the teeth are made, which serve as a model from which the bridge, and crowns will be made by a dental lab. Your dentist will make a temporary bridge to wear to protect the exposed teeth and gums while the bridge is being made.
During the second visit, the temporary bridge will be removed and the new porcelain or metal bridge will be checked and adjusted, to achieve a proper fit.. After a couple weeks, the bridge is cemented into place.
The main disadvantage is that healthy teeth need to be scraped to accommodate incoming crowns. In addition, since the bridge is permanently fixed in position, cleaning between adjacent teeth can be difficult. However, when it comes to restoring missing teeth, a bridge is an economical alternative to more expensive procedures.
Treatment’s duration: From 1 to 3 months
Cost: 2500- 4000$
results duration: For ever
Dental implants are medical devices surgically implanted into the jaw to restore a person's ability to chew or their appearance. They provide support for artificial (fake) teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
The duration of obtaining dental implants depends on many factors, but in general it requires several visits to the dentist and procedures over several months. In the initial consultation, the dentist will take x-rays or CT scans to assess the density and quantity of the patient's jaw bone and to locate the sinuses and nerves. He then uses this information to determine the best placement for the implants and whether a bone graft is needed.
Dental implants in Turkey are designed to last a lifetime. It is even possible to replace the crown if it is damaged with a new crown that is fitted to the implant
But it may involve a number of potential complications such as infection, nerve damage, or periodontitis, which is a form of gum disease that attacks dental implants.
