What is Hollywood Smile?

Hollywood Smile (Smile Design) is the process of aesthetically reshaping 20-28 teeth using zirconia or porcelain veneers. The aim is to achieve perfect whiteness, symmetry, and a natural appearance. This treatment completely eliminates flaws in tooth color, shape, size, and alignment.

Türkiye, especially in Trabzon, Istanbul, and Antalya, is a global destination for Hollywood Smile treatment with world-class dental clinics. High-quality materials are used under the supervision of expert dentists at accredited clinics to achieve natural and permanent results.

Who Is It Suitable For?

Hollywood Smile treatment is an ideal solution in the following cases:

💡 Important Note

A healthy gum structure is required for Hollywood Smile. If there is active gum disease, periodontal treatment should be applied first. Your suitability is checked with a free preliminary assessment at Expheal's partner clinics.

Which Materials Are Used?

Two main materials are used in Hollywood Smile treatment:

Zirconia Crowns

Zirconia is the most popular and durable option. It is a white, metal-free, and biocompatible material. It reflects light like a natural tooth, so it is aesthetically superior.

  • Durability: 15-20+ years
  • Aesthetics: Very high (natural tooth appearance)
  • Biocompatibility: Suitable for those with metal allergies

Porcelain Laminate (Leaf Porcelain)

Porcelain laminates are thin (0.3-0.7 mm) veneers bonded to the front surface of the tooth. They require minimal preparation, meaning very little material is removed from the tooth.

  • Durability: 10-15 years
  • Aesthetics: Perfect (light transmission same as natural tooth)
  • Preparation: Minimal (tooth is preserved)
Zirconia Advantages

Durable, long-lasting, no metal allergy, natural appearance, stain-resistant.

Porcelain Advantages

Minimal preparation, perfect aesthetics, light transmission, fast procedure.
