What a smile makeover is, and what it costs
A Hollywood smile is a cosmetic dental makeover that aims for a uniform, natural-looking smile. At the partner clinic the Smile Makeover with 20 zirconia crowns is $4,600 all-inclusive: 5 nights at Hilton or Hampton by Hilton, VIP transfers, an interpreter and a night guard ($3,690 procedure only). The E-max version is $6,400. For comparison, the US average for a full smile makeover is about $22,500 (Bookimed US price data). No deposit: you pay at the clinic, and I stay on WhatsApp for 12 months after.

Treatments
Zirconia crowns
Zirconia is widely used in Turkey for its strength and natural look; crowns can last many years with good care. 20 zirconia crowns: $4,600 all-inclusive ($3,690 procedure only); Smile Refresh (10 crowns) is $3,300; other plans are quoted individually.
E-max veneers
E-max (lithium disilicate) veneers have very natural translucency and suit front teeth. They need less preparation than crowns. 20 E-max veneers: $6,400 all-inclusive ($5,300 procedure only); Smile Refresh with E-max is $4,300; other plans are quoted individually.
Dental implants
Biovent, Megagen and Straumann implants, placed by the clinic's dentists. An implant with crown is from $650 (Megagen $800, Straumann $1,000), planned with a Dental Stay (2+ implants) or together with a smile package. All-on-4 is from $4,900 per jaw with both trips included. Implants in detail.

Zirconia or E-max?
Zirconia crowns
- Strength: very durable and resistant to chipping; suits back teeth and people who grind
- Look: natural, slightly less translucent than E-max
- Lifespan: many years with good care; the clinic's dentist explains what to expect
- Best for: full-mouth makeovers, bridges, cases that need strength
- Preparation: moderate reduction (0.5–1.5 mm)
E-max veneers
- Strength: strong, but less than zirconia; not recommended for heavy grinding
- Look: very natural translucency and light reflection
- Lifespan: many years with good care; the clinic's dentist explains what to expect
- Best for: front teeth and minimal-preparation cases
- Preparation: minimal reduction (0.3–0.7 mm), keeps more of the natural tooth
The clinic's dentist recommends the material from your bite, tooth condition and goals. Many people choose a mix: E-max for the visible front teeth and zirconia for the premolars.
