Smile Makeover In Turkey
A smile makeover at HCT is a bespoke plan for the teeth you want to change. The price list starts that plan at £1,780. The mix can include veneers, crowns, bonding, whitening or gum contouring, and only the parts your examination supports. It is not the Hollywood package of 10 or 16 E.max veneers. The tooth count and the final fee are confirmed after clinical assessment.

A smile makeover is the planning visit for a cosmetic and restorative combination, not a fixed box of 10 or 16 veneers. It is for people who want to change more than one feature of a smile, and who may need different treatments on different teeth. What varies is which teeth are included, which material is used, and whether gums or the bite have to be treated first. A set of E.max veneers, with published totals, is the Hollywood Smile. This page does not sell that package under another name.
01
What A Smile Makeover Is
A smile makeover is a plan built around your own teeth, gums and bite. HCT uses it when one method will not answer every concern: a stained tooth may need a veneer, a broken tooth may need a crown, and a small chip may need bonding. The price list starts the plan at £1,780.
That figure is not a count of veneers, and it is not a hotel package with a set number of teeth. What a transfer and a named hotel stay cover when a plan includes them is set out in the smile makeover transfer and hotel arrangement guide.
Planning Before Any Tooth Is Prepared
The plan looks at the teeth that show, the gum line, the bite and the shade you are asking for. A digital preview can show length and colour on a screen before enamel is removed. That preview is a mock-up. It is not an after photograph, and the bonded result can differ once the dentist sees the thickness of your enamel.
Prof. Dr. Müjde Sevimay oversees complex prosthetic plans at HCT. A makeover stays with your own teeth whenever they can be kept. Replacing a whole arch on implants is a different treatment and is not folded into the £1,780 starting figure.

One Plan, More Than One Method
Teeth in the same smile often need different work. A veneer faces a tooth that is still strong. A crown covers a tooth that is cracked, heavily filled or worn flat. Whitening changes colour only. Bonding can repair a corner with little or no enamel removed, and it is less colour-stable than ceramic. Gum contouring changes the frame of the tooth if too much gum shows. Putting all of those into one slogan price would hide which ones you actually need.
02
Smile Makeover Starting Fee
The starting figure describes a bespoke clinical plan, not the named Hollywood10/16 offer or a hotel package. The written smile makeover quote guide explains how to read the material, tooth count and exclusions after the clinical plan is assessed.
The HCT price list shows a smile makeover from £1,780. The row is marked bespoke. It does not state how many veneers, crowns or whitening sessions that starting figure includes. The written plan after examination is the fee you can compare. It is not the Hollywood total for 10 or 16 E.max veneers.
What Changes The Fee
| What Changes | How The Plan Handles It |
|---|---|
| Which treatments you need | Veneers, crowns, bonding, whitening or gum contouring, only where the examination supports them |
| How many teeth | The count is written down. £1,780 is not a published 10-tooth or 16-tooth package |
| Material | E.max and zirconia are listed separately on the price list. The plan names the one for each tooth |
| Hollywood veneer packages | 10 E.max veneers at £1,960 and 16 at £3,150 belong to the Hollywood Smile page, not to this starting fee |
| Hotel and flights | The £1,780 row does not list nights or flights. Travel is planned separately |
Unit fees that may appear inside a larger plan, such as an E.max veneer at £200, are on the dental price list. They are not added up on this page to invent a package. A comparison of veneer fees, without a UK price made up here, is in the veneer price guide. If your photos already show a straightforward set of 10 or 16 front veneers, use the Hollywood Smile totals rather than this starting figure.
The £1,780 figure is a guide from the published list. It is confirmed after clinical assessment. If the examination adds gum treatment, a crown or a different material, the quote changes before treatment starts. You should have that quote in writing before you pay or book flights.
03
Who This Is Suitable For
A smile makeover is considered when you want to change more than a single tooth and the right method is not obvious from a photo. It suits people whose concerns may mix colour, chips, small gaps, wear or an uneven gum line. It is a planning decision. It is not a self-diagnosis, and it is not automatic approval for veneers on every tooth.
When A Makeover Is Considered
- Several features at onceStain, uneven length and a small chip may need different treatments in one plan.
- Teeth you can keepThe roots and gums can support veneers, bonding or crowns on the teeth that remain.
- A shade and shape to agreeYou want to see a preview before enamel is removed, and to change your mind at that point.
- A bite that can be checkedNew length is only useful if the way you bite does not overload it.
Limits To Check First
- Gum disease or untreated decayCosmetic work waits until the gums are calm and holes are treated.
- A tooth that is too weak to veneerA crown may be the safer cover. That changes the fee and the amount of tooth reduced.
- Missing teethA veneer does not replace a gap. Implants are a separate plan if teeth are absent.
- Wanting no enamel removedSay so at the start. A veneer usually removes enamel. Bonding or whitening may be the honest alternative.
When It May Not Be Suitable
It may not be suitable when gum disease is active, when decay has not been treated, or when the bite would crack new edges. Elective tooth preparation is often delayed in pregnancy. Heavy grinding needs a plan, sometimes a guard, before long ceramic edges are made.
If you want a particular famous smile copied exactly, that has to be matched against your lip line and your enamel, not against a photograph of someone else.
Assessment is required. Photos and a video of you talking are enough to start. They are not enough to promise a material, a day count or the £1,780 figure as your final fee. People with uncontrolled diabetes, or with a dental infection, need that treated in the plan before cosmetic visits are booked. The Oral Health Foundation page on veneers, linked below, is a plain account of when a facing is used and which risks to discuss if veneers are the method chosen.
04
What Happens Step By Step
Planning starts from your photos and a consultation. If veneers are part of the plan, the tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic, a thin layer of enamel is removed, and a temporary covers it while the laboratory works. Many veneer visits take about five to seven days. That is typical, not a date that fits every patient.
A plan with crowns, gum treatment or a second stage can take longer, and you are told that before you book flights.
- 01Photos And HistoryYou send smile photos and say what you want to change. Medicines, grinding and gum bleeding are part of that history.
- 02Examination And PreviewThe dentist checks the teeth, gums and bite. A digital preview is a mock-up, not a finished result. You can stop here.
- 03Preparation, If NeededVeneers and crowns remove tooth structure under local anaesthetic. Bonding and whitening may not. The plan says which is which.
- 04Laboratory Or Chairside WorkCeramic is made in the laboratory. Bonding can be done at the chair. Temporaries cover prepared teeth.
- 05Try-in And FitColour and bite are checked in the mouth. Ceramic is bonded only after you have seen it. Adjustments that can be made that day are made that day.
Before You Travel
Say which teeth bother you, whether you are happy to have enamel removed, and whether any teeth are missing or painful. A preliminary note can mention the £1,780 starting figure. It should also say if the photos suggest crowns, gum care or a Hollywood veneer count instead. Nothing is final until the mouth has been examined in Antalya or Istanbul.
If Veneers Are The Method
Where the plan uses veneers, preparation removes enamel. That enamel does not grow back. A typical facing reduction is a fraction of a millimetre, and the amount is measured on each tooth rather than taken from a standard template. Records go to the laboratory. Temporary veneers let you speak and eat carefully while you wait. They are not the final ceramic, and they stain and loosen more easily. The wider account of the veneer visit is the laminate veneer treatment page.
Fitting And The Bite
Ceramic is tried in so you can see the shade against your skin and your untreated teeth. A tooth that feels high is adjusted before you leave. Bonding a high veneer and hoping it will “settle” is how edges chip. You leave with cleaning instructions and a note of what was fitted on which tooth, so a dentist at home can see the plan.
Materials
The material follows the tooth. E.max, listed as Ivoclar porcelain on the price list, is a glass ceramic often used for a front veneer because it can look translucent. A full zirconia crown is a different restoration for a tooth that needs strength all the way around.
Composite bonding is a resin repair, usually for a smaller change, and it picks up stain sooner than ceramic. Whitening gels change colour and do not change shape. The makeover names the material per tooth. It does not put E.max, zirconia and bonding on every tooth by default.
If the agreed plan is simply 10 or 16 E.max veneers, those published packages live on the Hollywood Smile page. This page does not restate them as a makeover bundle. A digital preview may be used to choose length and shade. The preview is labelled as a preview in the chair. It is not presented as the after photograph.
Risks And Complications
Each method has its own risks. Veneers and crowns can leave a tooth sensitive, can chip, and can come unstuck. Preparation can, uncommonly, irritate the nerve so that the tooth needs further treatment later. Bonding can stain and chip sooner than ceramic.
Whitening can make teeth sensitive for a short time and does not whiten existing crowns or veneers. Gum contouring can leave the gum sore and, if too much gum is removed, the tooth can look long.
A makeover that lengthens teeth can change the bite. Jaw ache or a veneer that strikes early is a reason to return for an adjustment, not a result to tolerate. Smoking, grinding and poor cleaning raise the chance of chips, stains at the edges and gum inflammation. The clinic cannot promise a lifespan. How long a restoration lasts depends on the tooth underneath, the bite and home care.
05
Recovery And Aftercare
Recovery follows whatever was actually done. After veneers or crowns, expect tenderness for several days and be careful with temporary or newly bonded edges. After whitening alone, sensitivity can last a short time and there is no laboratory wait. Brush the gum line, keep hard food off fresh edges, and have a high spot adjusted before you fly.
See a dentist at home for reviews, and call if pain increases, a restoration comes off, or the gum swells.
The First Days
| What To Do | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Soft food at first | Temporary veneers and fresh bonds loosen more easily on crusts, ice and sticky sweets. |
| Keep colour off temporaries | Tea, coffee and strongly coloured food stain a temporary faster than finished ceramic. |
| Clean the edge | Plaque at the gum line is where a veneered tooth can still decay. |
| Report a high bite | A tooth that hits first can ache and can chip the new edge. |
| Pause smoking | Smoking irritates the gum around a new edge and stains resin repairs. |
At Home
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and clean between the teeth daily. Wear a night guard if you were given one for grinding. Do not use your front teeth to tear tape or bite pens. A dentist at home should see you for ordinary checks and should know which teeth were veneered or crowned. Flying is usually reasonable once you are comfortable and the bite has been checked. Airline rules are yours to check. Swelling, a bad taste, pain that disturbs sleep, or a veneer in your hand is a reason to contact HCT and a dentist near you.
The days in Antalya or Istanbul depend on the laboratory and on whether more than one method is used. Hotels, transfers and how you move between the hotel and the clinic are described on the dental holiday page. This page does not turn that stay into part of the £1,780 figure.
Alternatives
If the only concern is colour, whitening leaves the enamel in place and will not reshape a tooth. If the only concern is a small chip, bonding is the smaller change, with a shorter life and more staining. If the teeth are a colour and shape you accept but sit out of line, orthodontics moves them and does not file them for veneers.
Those choices are discussed before a makeover prepares a tooth that did not need it.
When many teeth are worn, broken or heavily filled, the clinical page is full mouth reconstruction, published as 20 crowns at £3,180. That is not a smile-makeover starting fee. When teeth are missing and a fixed arch on implants is the question, the page is full mouth dental implants, at £5,980 and £6,480 for the two published full-arch packages. A makeover of veneers and crowns does not include those implant operations.
Clinic And Reviews
Ask for a written list of teeth, the material on each one, and which fee applies: the £1,780 starting plan, a Hollywood veneer package, or a reconstruction. A single “makeover” number with no tooth list is not something you can compare.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is A Smile Makeover?
A smile makeover is a plan for the teeth you want to change, built around your examination. It can mix veneers, crowns, bonding, whitening or gum contouring when each one is actually needed. It is not a single product, and it is not the Hollywood package of 10 or 16 E.max veneers.
How Much Does A Smile Makeover Cost?
The price list shows a smile makeover from £1,780. That is a starting figure. The final fee depends on which treatments you need, how many teeth are involved and which material is used. It is confirmed in writing after a clinical assessment.
Is This The Hollywood Smile Package?
No. The Hollywood Smile page publishes two veneer packages: 10 E.max veneers at £1,960 and 16 E.max veneers at £3,150. Those totals are not the fee on this page. Use them only if your plan is that set of veneers.
Which Treatments Can Be Included?
Only the treatments your teeth need. That may be porcelain veneers, a crown on a damaged tooth, composite bonding for a small chip, whitening, or gum contouring. Missing teeth are not solved by a veneer. An implant plan is discussed separately if teeth are absent.
Who Is A Smile Makeover Suitable For?
People who want to change colour, shape, small gaps or worn edges, and whose gums and general health allow elective dental work. The plan is individual. A photograph can start the conversation. It cannot confirm that you are suitable.
When May A Makeover Not Be Suitable?
Active gum disease, untreated decay and a bite that would overload new teeth need care first. Elective tooth preparation is often delayed in pregnancy. If you want no enamel removed, say so before anyone starts, because a veneer plan usually does remove enamel. A request to copy a famous smile is checked against what your own teeth can hold.
How Long Does A Makeover Take?
Planning starts from photographs and a consultation. Veneers that need a laboratory often take about five to seven days in the clinic. That is a usual timetable, not one that fits every patient. A plan with crowns, gum treatment or implants can need more time or a second visit. You are told the timetable before you book flights.
What If Teeth Are Missing Or Badly Damaged?
A badly broken tooth may need a crown rather than a veneer. Several damaged teeth may be a full mouth reconstruction, published as 20 crowns at £3,180, which is a different page. Missing teeth that need implants are the full mouth implant packages, not this makeover fee.
