A Hollywood Smile is a commercial name for a treatment package in which the teeth in the smile line are refaced with porcelain laminate veneers or covered with full crowns; it describes an outcome rather than one technique, and at Mosdent it is planned through digital smile design across ten to twenty teeth. No clinical survival data is published under that name; the measured evidence belongs to the components. A meta-analysis of 29 studies reported 96.81% survival for lithium disilicate laminate veneers at 10.4 years (PubMed 39523553), and a meta-analysis of 64 studies reported 98.5% five-year survival for monolithic lithium disilicate single crowns (PubMed 41489982). Ask the written quote to name, tooth by tooth, veneers against crowns.
- 01The package name carries no evidence of its own. A PubMed search on the exact phrase returns 7 records, all of them surveys, social media and perception studies, none measuring survival or complications (search run 12 August 2026). Every number quoted for a Hollywood Smile belongs to the restoration type actually used, so the quote has to name that type.
- 02Ceramic laminate veneers pooled 96.81% survival for lithium disilicate, 96.13% for feldspathic porcelain and 93.70% for leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic at 10.4 years across 29 studies, with no survival difference between materials; technical complication rates separated them more clearly, at 6.1% for lithium disilicate against 41.48% for feldspathic (PubMed 39523553).
- 03Zirconia laminate veneers reached 100% survival with no complications in the same meta-analysis, but only at 2.6 years, and no long-term data exists (PubMed 39523553). If a plan offers zirconia veneers, the honest position is that their long-term behaviour has not been measured yet.
- 04The difference that matters between a veneer and a crown is irreversible tissue loss, not lifespan. Following 580 porcelain veneers in 66 patients for up to 12 years, survival was 99% where the preparation stayed inside enamel and 94% where enamel remained only at the margins, while veneers bonded into dentine were about 10 times more likely to fail (PubMed 23342345).
- 05Where crowns are placed on vital teeth, pulp outcome has been measured: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 20 studies reported clinical and radiographic success between 92% and 98% over follow-up periods of 5 to 20 years, with all included studies observational (PubMed 34516686). This is the question to raise before agreeing to full coverage on healthy teeth.
/ Hollywood Smile Overview
The appearance of the mouth area and the smile are very important in terms of the first impression that a person creates in daily life. For this reason, it plays an extremely important role both in human relations and in having an aesthetic appearance. Hollywood smile, also called smile design, is frequently preferred by women and men of different age groups who want to have a more aesthetic smile. The main purpose of the Hollywood smile procedure is to achieve a harmony between the teeth and gums that will provide an aesthetic appearance.
It is a fact that having a more beautiful smile and a more aesthetic appearance positively affects one's self-confidence. In this context, Hollywood smile is a procedure that can be customized with plans suitable for the needs, expectations and other elements of each patient's face. Thanks to patient-specific planning, an aesthetically satisfying and natural appearance can be achieved. For this reason, Hollywood smile ranks first among the most applied aesthetic dentistry procedures, especially with its increasing popularity in recent years.

/ How is a Hollywood Smile Performed?
Before the Hollywood smile procedure is performed, the patient is examined, their needs are determined and their expectations are learned. It is evaluated whether the expectations are compatible with a natural and aesthetically satisfying appearance. After the analysis process, the treatments to be applied to achieve a natural and aesthetic appearance are determined specifically for the patient.
If dental or gum problems are detected during the dental examination, the first step is to apply treatments to resolve them. If the teeth and gums are healthy, intraoral impressions are taken and models are made. Using the patient's photographs and various computer programs, a plan suited to the shape of the face is made and the treatments to be applied are determined.
After the treatments are completed, the appearance to be achieved is shared with the patient through temporary restorations and the patient's approval is obtained. If there are any changes requested by the patient and considered appropriate by the dentist, these are made, and the treatment process begins with the patient's approval.
If the patient who will undergo the Hollywood smile procedure needs orthodontic treatment, this should be prioritized. If a level disorder is detected in the gums, these are eliminated. In patients with missing teeth, dental implants or other appropriate treatments are performed. After surgical procedures, teeth whitening treatment is applied after the healing processes are completed. Visual and stylistic defects in the teeth are eliminated. For this, procedures such as aesthetic composite filling, veneering, porcelain laminate and zirconium coating can be used.
The success of the Hollywood smile procedure depends on taking the shape and contour of the lips into consideration when planning dental and gum applications. In this way, it is possible to realize the most suitable design for each patient's face and get natural and aesthetically satisfying results.

/ Hollywood Smile Effects and Dental Care After the Procedure
What Does Hollywood Smile Do?
Hollywood smile application offers the opportunity to have more aesthetically attractive smiles by improving the color, shape and arrangement of the teeth. The white, regular and attractive appearance of the teeth can become an element that increases the self-confidence of the person. Achieving aesthetically impressive results can also make a person feel more comfortable in social relationships.
In addition, Hollywood smile application can help to reflect a more professional appearance in the business world or social circles by improving the overall image of the person. Thanks to Hollywood smile, which corrects discoloration and staining, cracks, fractures, gaps between teeth and other aesthetic problems, teeth look healthier.
How Should Dental Care Be After Hollywood Smile Procedure?
After Hollywood smile applications, oral and dental care routine should be performed correctly and regularly. However, it is important not to use toothpastes that have abrasive properties on the teeth and to change the wrong brushing habits. Failure to pay attention to these factors can lead to scratches on the surface of the teeth. As part of the oral and dental care routine, it is necessary to brush the teeth 2 to 3 times a day with non-abrasive fluoride toothpastes.
The use of dental floss should be included in the oral and dental care routine in order to maintain the effect of the treatments applied within the scope of Hollywood smile for a long time, to clean the plaque remaining on the teeth and to prevent tooth decay. Alcohol-free mouthwashes should be used to ensure oral hygiene, and foods and drinks with high sugar content should not be consumed. Also, care should be taken not to bite and chew hard objects.
/ Types of Hollywood Smile
The term Hollywood smile generally refers to aesthetic dentistry procedures and aims to improve a person's smile aesthetically. Types of Hollywood smile may vary depending on the person's preferences, tooth structure and aesthetic goals.
- With teeth whitening procedures, teeth are lightened and a whiter appearance is achieved. This means removing stains and increasing the natural whiteness of the teeth.
- Laminated veneer applications are realized by bonding thin porcelain or zirconium veneers to the front surface of the teeth. It is used to correct the shape, size and color of the teeth.
- Dental veneers can be used for teeth that are damaged, decayed or need aesthetic correction. These veneers provide an aesthetic appearance by covering the entire tooth.
- Orthodontic treatments can be applied to correct the irregular alignment of the teeth.
- Full smile design involves combining a range of cosmetic dental treatments to improve the overall appearance of the teeth. Teeth whitening, laminated veneer applications, dental veneers and other procedures can be evaluated in this context.
- Lip fillers or lip aesthetics to improve the harmony between lips and teeth can also be part of the Hollywood smile.
- In some cases, dentists can perform aesthetic improvements using minimally invasive techniques. This provides aesthetic enhancements without damaging the teeth and, where possible, preserving the natural tooth structure.
Hollywood Smile Prices
Hollywood smile prices may vary depending on the treatments to be applied on a patient-specific basis. The expertise and experience of the dentist, the materials and technologies used in the treatments, and the scope of the treatments applied are directly effective factors on Hollywood smile prices.

Frequently asked
01What is a Hollywood Smile?+
A Hollywood Smile is a comprehensive aesthetic dental treatment in which multiple teeth are covered with E-max or zirconium veneers, planned through Digital Smile Design (DSD). The treatment is completed in five to seven days and delivers a natural-looking, long-lasting result.
02How long does a Hollywood Smile take? How many days in Istanbul?+
A standard Hollywood Smile in Istanbul is completed in five to seven days. The first two days cover digital design and tooth preparation, with temporary veneers fitted immediately. Permanent veneers are bonded in the final appointment, completing the treatment with a bite check.
03How much does a Hollywood Smile cost in Istanbul, Turkey?+
At Mosdent, Hollywood Smile treatment starts from €4,800 for 20 veneers. The final price depends on material choice (E-max or zirconium), veneer count, and any preparatory treatment required. Costs are typically 60-70% lower than equivalent treatment in the UK or Germany.
04Will veneers look natural?+
Your age, complexion and facial features inform the design. The result reads as "the best version of yourself", never artificial. A veneer is a thin ceramic shell bonded to the front of the tooth, so thickness and translucency carry the result.
05How long do dental veneers last?+
In a meta-analysis of 29 studies, lithium disilicate (E-max) laminate veneers showed 96.81% survival over 10.4 years, and no long-term data yet exists for zirconia veneers (PubMed 39523553). We recommend brushing twice daily, regular flossing, and an annual check-up. A night guard is provided where bruxism (teeth grinding) is identified.
