What is a Hollywood Smile?

A Hollywood Smile is a comprehensive smile design procedure planned to suit the individual's facial features, lip structure, and gum line. The goal is not just to whiten teeth; it is to achieve an aesthetic and natural smile by evaluating the shape, size, alignment, and gum line appearance of the teeth together.

This procedure is not a single treatment, but a combination of dental aesthetics planned specifically for each individual.

What Procedures Can a Hollywood Smile Include?

Planning varies according to the patient's needs, but generally includes the following procedures:

Porcelain or zirconium veneers

Laminate veneers (porcelain laminates)

Teeth whitening

Gum contouring (pink aesthetics)

Orthodontic corrections when necessary

Implant treatment for missing teeth

Not all procedures are performed on every patient; planning is determined entirely based on the structure of the mouth.

Who is it suitable for?

A Hollywood Smile is generally preferred in the following cases:

Those who are unhappy with the color of their teeth

Those with crooked or misshapen teeth

Those with broken, worn, or gapped teeth

Those bothered by the appearance of their gums when smiling

Those seeking a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing smile

Suitability is determined after a clinical examination and X-ray evaluation.

How Does the Treatment Process Proceed?

1️⃣ Examination and Planning

The tooth structure, facial proportions, and the patient's expectations are evaluated together.

2️⃣ Digital Design (Smile Design)

The new appearance of the teeth is planned digitally. The patient can see the approximate result before the procedure.

3️⃣ Preparation Stage

Minimal adjustments are made to the teeth if necessary, and impressions are taken.

4️⃣ Temporary Teeth

The patient continues their daily life with temporary teeth while the permanent veneers are being prepared.

5️⃣ Permanent Application

The prepared porcelain or zirconium restorations are placed.

How Long Does a Hollywood Smile Take?

The procedures can usually be completed within 5–7 days. The duration may vary depending on the number of procedures to be performed and the structure of the mouth.

Does it look natural?

When properly planned, the Hollywood Smile looks natural and harmonious with the face, not exaggerated. The goal is not to create a “white and artificial” appearance, but to design a smile that suits the person's age, face shape, and character.
