A Hollywood smile is not a single product. It is a plan for each tooth that shows when you smile: some may only need whitening, some a thin porcelain veneer, and some – usually teeth with large fillings or root canal treatment – a crown. At Medicape Health in Adana, your plan is drawn up by a specialist in Prosthodontics, and you see it, tooth by tooth, before anything is prepared.
Our aim is a smile that looks like your own teeth on their best day: a shade that suits your skin and age, shapes that suit your face, and as much of your natural tooth kept as possible.
| Treatment time in Turkey | Usually 5–7 days for veneers and crowns |
| Visits to the clinic | Typically 3–4 appointments during your stay |
| Anaesthesia | Local anaesthetic for tooth preparation |
| Back to work | Usually the day after you fly home |
| Price | Written quote within 24 hours of your photos and X-ray |
This is the most important decision in your plan, so we explain it plainly.
We recommend a crown only where the tooth needs one. If your teeth are healthy and you mainly want a whiter colour, we will tell you that whitening may be enough, even if that means a smaller treatment.
| Veneer | Crown | |
|---|---|---|
| How much tooth is removed | A thin layer from the front surface, sometimes very little | Tooth is reduced on all sides |
| Best for | Healthy teeth that need a change of colour, shape or small gaps | Teeth weakened by large fillings, root canal treatment or fracture |
| Can it be undone? | No – the tooth will always need a covering | No – the tooth will always need a crown |
There is no standard number. We look at which teeth show when you smile and talk naturally, the condition of each one and the result you want. For many people this is the upper front teeth; others need fewer, and some need the lower teeth as well. Your plan lists every tooth and what is proposed for it, so you can ask about any of them before you agree.
Very white teeth are the most common regret we hear about. We choose the shade with you in daylight, against your skin tone, the whites of your eyes and any teeth that will not be covered. Porcelain cannot be whitened later, so if you want your natural teeth lighter, we whiten them first and match the porcelain to the new shade.
A Hollywood smile may suit you if you have:
It may not be the right choice, or may need to wait, if you have untreated gum disease, active decay, very short or heavily worn teeth from grinding, or if you are under 18.

Your dentist reviews these and we send you a written plan and quote. If something is unclear from the X-ray, we will tell you before you book flights.
Day 1 – Examination and design. Full examination, X-ray or 3D scan if needed, photos and a digital smile design. Where it helps, we place a mock-up – a temporary version of your new smile – over your own teeth so you can see the shapes and length in the mirror. Nothing is prepared until you have seen and agreed your plan.
Day 2 – Preparation. Under local anaesthetic, teeth are prepared and digital or conventional impressions taken. You leave with temporary teeth.
Days 3–5 – Laboratory. Your veneers or crowns are made. You may have a try-in to check shape and shade before they are finished.
Day 5–7 – Fitting. The final restorations are bonded, your bite is checked and adjusted, and you receive your aftercare instructions, a written record of the materials used and, if you grind your teeth, a night guard.
If you need gum treatment, root canal treatment or extractions first, your stay may be longer or you may need two visits. We tell you this in your plan.
Your treatment is planned and carried out by a specialist in Prosthodontics – the dental speciality focused on crowns, veneers, bridges and implant restorations. You can find your dentist’s profile, qualifications and experience on the Our Doctors page.

Most people find tooth preparation comfortable under local anaesthetic. Afterwards:
What is “Turkey teeth”, and how is this different?
The phrase is used in the UK for treatment where many healthy teeth were heavily cut down for crowns, often with a very white shade and little explanation. Our approach is the opposite: veneers where possible, crowns only where a tooth needs one, a shade chosen to suit you, and a written plan for every tooth before treatment starts.
Will my teeth be filed down?
For veneers, a thin layer is removed from the front of the tooth; sometimes very little. For crowns, the tooth is reduced on all sides. Your plan states which teeth will have which treatment.
Can I have the treatment in one trip?
Usually yes, in 5–7 days, if your teeth and gums are healthy. If you need root canal or gum treatment first, we may recommend two visits.
Does it hurt?
Preparation is done under local anaesthetic. Some sensitivity for a few days afterwards is common.
How long will my veneers or crowns last?
Most last many years with good care, regular check-ups and a night guard if you grind. They will need replacing at some point; how soon depends on your habits, bite and gum health.
Can I choose a very white shade?
Yes, it is your smile. We will show you how different shades look against your face so the choice is an informed one.
What happens if something goes wrong when I’m home?
Contact your coordinator on WhatsApp with photos. We will advise you and, where needed, arrange for you to be seen. Your guarantee terms are set out in your written plan.
Can my own dentist look after my veneers?
Yes. Any dentist can check and clean them. We give you a written record of the materials used.
Can I fly straight after treatment?
Yes. Dental treatment does not affect flying.
