What is a Hollywood Smile?
A Hollywood Smile is a comprehensive cosmetic dental makeover designed to create a perfectly aligned, brilliantly white, and symmetrical smile, the kind seen on celebrities on the red carpet. It combines several dental procedures, all customised to your facial structure, tooth condition, and aesthetic goals.
At Reference Aesthetics, every Hollywood Smile treatment is planned individually. Your makeover may include:
- Porcelain or E-max veneers — ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to the front of your teeth for shape, colour, and symmetry
- Zirconium crowns — full tooth coverage providing both strength and exceptional aesthetics
- Laser teeth whitening — enhancing brightness to complement your new veneers
- Laser gum contouring — reshaping the gumline for a balanced, even smile frame
- Composite bonding — correcting minor chips, gaps, and surface irregularities
- Digital Smile Design (DSD) — previewing your final result on screen before any treatment begins
The exact combination is decided by our cosmetic dentists during your consultation, based on your X-rays, dental photographs, and smile goals — never a one-size-fits-all approach.
Why Choose Reference Aesthetics?
Istanbul has become one of the world’s leading destinations for cosmetic dentistry — combining European-standard quality with significantly more affordable pricing.

Hollywood Smile Overview
A Hollywood Smile at Reference Aesthetics is not a template procedure. Before treatment begins, your cosmetic dentist carries out a full dental assessment — including X-rays, intraoral photographs, and a Digital Smile Design session where you can preview your new smile on screen.
Your treatment plan is built entirely around your specific situation: the current condition of your teeth, your bite alignment, gumline shape, and the result you want to achieve. This personalised approach ensures that your Hollywood Smile looks natural, lasts longer, and is in harmony with your overall facial features.
Most international patients complete their Hollywood Smile in a single trip to Istanbul, typically 5 to 7 days. For cases involving implants or orthodontic preparation, additional planning may be needed and your coordinator will explain this in detail before you travel.
E-max vs Zirconium: Which Is Right for You?
One of the most important decisions in your Hollywood Smile journey is the choice of material. At Reference Aesthetics, we use two premium options — E-max (lithium disilicate) and Zirconium — and our dentists will recommend the right fit based on a clinical assessment of your teeth.
E-max Veneers | Zirconium Crowns | |
Material | Lithium disilicate ceramic | Zirconia (zirconium dioxide) |
Appearance | Highly translucent — closest to natural tooth structure | Bright white — very strong aesthetic result |
Thickness | Ultra-thin (0.3–0.5mm) | Full crown coverage |
Tooth Preparation | Minimal enamel removal | More preparation required |
Durability | 10–15+ years with proper care | 15–20+ years — extremely strong |
Best For | Natural aesthetics, front teeth, good tooth structure | Damaged or filled teeth, bite issues, maximum durability |
Availability at Reference Aesthetics | Yes — standard option | Yes — standard option |
Not sure which material suits your case? Your dentist at Reference Aesthetics will examine your teeth clinically and make a clear recommendation based on what is right for you — not on price.

Why Choose Istanbul for Your Hollywood Smile?
Turkey has become one of the world’s leading destinations for cosmetic dental treatment — not by chance, but through sustained investment in dental education, technology, and international patient services. Istanbul in particular offers a combination of factors that attract thousands of patients from the UK, Europe, and the Middle East every year.
- Cost savings of 60–75% compared to the UK, USA, or Western Europe — with no reduction in material quality
- The same premium E-max and Zirconium materials used in top London and European dental practices
- Highly trained cosmetic dentists — many with international qualifications and experience
- Advanced digital technology including Digital Smile Design (DSD) and intraoral scanning
- English-speaking patient coordinators, airport transfers, and accommodation support
- Short treatment duration — most Hollywood Smile cases completed in 5 to 7 days
- Istanbul as a destination — world-class food, culture, and hospitality alongside your treatment
The British Dental Association (BDA) advises patients travelling abroad for dental treatment to always receive a full written treatment plan and ensure that aftercare and follow-up are clearly agreed before treatment begins. At Reference Aesthetics, both are provided as standard.

Most Hollywood Smile treatments at Reference Aesthetics are completed in 5 days. Day 1 is arrival and welcome; Day 2 is consultation and Digital Smile Design; Day 3 is tooth preparation; Day 4 is fitting and adjustments; Day 5 is final bonding and reveal. International patients can return home with their completed smile after Day 5.
E-max (lithium disilicate) veneers are ultra-thin and highly translucent — they produce the most natural-looking result and are ideal for front teeth with a good underlying tooth structure. Zirconium crowns are stronger and more durable, making them the better clinical choice for patients with heavily filled, damaged, or structurally compromised teeth. Dr. Onur and Dt. Ulku assess each case individually and recommend the right material based on your dental X-rays and clinical examination.
Veneers and crowns are long-lasting but require renewal at the end of their lifespan. E-max veneers typically last 10–15 years; zirconium crowns can last 15–20 years with proper care. Because the procedure involves a degree of enamel preparation, once placed, veneers cannot simply be removed — they will need to be replaced with similar restorations in time. Our dentists explain this in full during your consultation.
Yes — when performed by experienced cosmetic dentists using high-quality materials, a Hollywood Smile is designed to complement your facial features and sit naturally alongside any remaining natural teeth. At Reference Aesthetics, we use Digital Smile Design to preview your result before any treatment begins, and all shade selection is done carefully to ensure a natural, not artificial, appearance.
The Hollywood Smile procedure is well-established and safe, but as with any dental treatment there are considerations to be aware of: temporary tooth sensitivity (usually resolving within 1–2 weeks after fitting), mild gum tenderness immediately after the procedure, and the irreversibility of enamel preparation. Our dentists discuss all potential risks in detail during your consultation, and proceed only when you are fully informed and consent has been given.
Most adults in reasonable oral health are suitable candidates. However, patients with active gum disease, significant bone loss, or untreated decay will need these resolved before a Hollywood Smile can proceed. Our dentists carry out a comprehensive assessment during your consultation to confirm suitability and identify any preparatory work required.
If a full Hollywood Smile makeover is not clinically appropriate or is outside your budget, alternatives include: professional teeth whitening (for discolouration only), composite bonding (for minor chips and gaps), Invisalign or orthodontic treatment (for alignment issues), or individual veneers on specific teeth rather than a full set. Our team will always present all clinically appropriate options — not just the most expensive one.
Maintain your Hollywood Smile with regular brushing using a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste, daily flossing, and dental check-ups every 6 months. Avoid biting directly into hard foods (ice, hard crusts, nuts). If you grind your teeth at night, a night guard is strongly recommended. Limiting staining beverages such as coffee, red wine, and dark tea will help maintain brightness over time.
Yes. Every international patient at Reference Aesthetics is assigned a personal coordinator who remains available via WhatsApp after you return home. We provide a full written post-treatment care guide, and remote consultations are available if you have any concerns. If you return to Istanbul, an in-clinic review appointment can be arranged.
