How much is Hollywood smile price in Turkey
When we talk about Hollywood Smile in Turkey price is the most talked about factor. Hollywood smile price structure mainly depends on the patient. Their dental issues, medical history, and personal preferences. So, there is no fixed number of treatments and each plan differs from the other.
Many countries in the world offer this treatment but there are very few that offer affordability as well as the latest technology:
| Treatment options | Turkey | Europe | The US | The UK |
| Laminate veneers | €150 – €300 | €750 – €1,500 | €450 – €1,900 | €730 – €1,100 |
| Implants | €390 – €850 | €2,000 – €3,500 | €2,800 – €3,300 | €2,250 – €2,800 |

The average price of Hollywood smiles in Turkey with minor or major dental procedures starts from €200 to €5000 and maybe even more. The total cost of Hollywood Smile is adjustable according to the number of treatments you would need. What if your dental issues are bigger and you need rehabilitative treatments? Think implants, the price increases due to surgical procedures.

Note: These prices are subject to change according to fluctuations in foreign currency. Moreover, they are average prices per tooth so they may change if treatment is needed for more than one tooth.
Why is this treatment affordable in Turkey?
There are many reasons why Turkey is known for its affordable yet developed dental clinics. These are:
- Convenient exchange rate
- Easy access to visas
- Cheap accommodation and transportation
- No additional fees
Let us explain how these factors make Turkey an ideal destination for affordable yet developed dental clinics.
Convenient exchange rate
Turkey’s dental sector is growing at a rapid pace with many new and modern developments. According to a survey by Statista, Turkey’s revenue from the dental sector will increase from $683.7 million to $704.7 million by the end of 2023 (1). The exchange rate is much higher because the currency is much cheaper, especially against the US dollar and the euro. They get the same quality of work but at much cheaper prices.
Easy access to visas
One of Turkey’s many advantages is its smooth and easy visa process. US passport holders can apply for an e-visa, which is approved within 24-48 business hours. The e-visa for U.S. citizens is valid for a maximum of 90 days. On the other hand, those entering from Europe, such as Germany or Spain, do not need a visa and can enter with a valid passport or ID card.
We will give you more info later in this article.
Cheap accommodation and transportation
If you choose Turkey, besides dental services, accommodation and transportation are also quite cheap. Usually, accommodation and transportation are part of the dental tourism package you choose. Through these packages, the price of your entire trip decreases and you also do not have to worry about your transportation and accommodation. Dental tourism in Turkey is ideal because most clinics work with hotels and transportation companies that provide a complete medical tourism experience.
No additional fees
Unlike other countries, there are no fees in Turkey for other services, such as consultation fees, dental fees, staff fees, laboratory fees, etc. Everything is communicated to the patient before the treatment, so there can be no misunderstandings in the future. The initial consultation is free of charge, and no additional charges are made without the patient’s consent. Only in case of serious complications, additional costs are added to the total cost.

But still, we have gathered these reasons why you can trust Turkey for your next dental treatment.
Qualified and licensed doctors
Both Turkey’s health and education system is evolving at a rapid speed to be at the top. There is a solid network of universities and training organizations in the country training thousands of students every year to become great doctors and dentists. Fact that students undergo such rigorous training, you can trust the expertise of dentists in the country.
Moreover, according to the law, no one can operate in the country as a dentist without a dental license that requires passing a special exam. The residency period for students after medical school is 5 to 6 years and they must complete it to practice officially.
Strict Rules and Regulations
To join the industry as a specialized dentist, students must pass an exam called Diş hekimliği Uzmanlık Sınavı‘DUS’held only once a year. To be both, a general dentist and a specialist dentist, there are testing protocols and without clearing those, nobody can practice in the field.
The Ministry of Health in Turkey and the Turkish Dental Association are legal bodies very particular about the standards and requirements of dental clinics. Every clinic operating in the country must abide by the rules and regulations set by them to successfully run a dental business.
Modern and latest technology
The prices of dental services may be low in Turkey but do not expect them to be of substandard quality. You can trust Turkey for your dental needs because of its vast infrastructure and modern dental technology. From the latest digital CAD/CAM technologies to laser treatments, there is everything to make sure every patient leaves happy and content.

Multiple options for smile correction
In Turkey, if you opt for Hollywood smile treatment, there is a great opportunity for you to utilize your budget in the most convenient way possible. For major to minor cosmetic and rehabilitative concerns, there are plenty of dental restorations available according to the patient’s budget.
For example, if the dentist suggests you get veneers, there are three variants available, German, Korean, and Swiss. Similarly, for veneers, you can either opt for laminate veneers or aesthetic fillings for the front teeth. So there are plenty of alternatives available to tailor treatment according to your budget.
When leisure meets health
If you have long been delaying your vacation and neglecting your oral health, Turkey has the potential of serving both purposes. Visiting Turkey not only gives you a reason to unwind but to prioritize your oral health by visiting qualified dentists and dental staff.

Where can I exchange money for Turkish Liras?
If you need some cash to walk around and feel safe, you can change money at your hotel, at the airport (they have the highest interest rates, we warned you!), and at one of the many exchange offices in town.
What should I visit in Istanbul?
Istanbul is among the most popular destinations among tourists. Its beauty with a thousand influences, its centuries-old history, and its unforgettable landscapes. Of course, there are famous tourist spots such as Blue Mosque or Hagia Sophia Mosque, Dolmabahçe Palace, Galata Tower, and Galata Port. You can easily find them on Google Maps. But there are so many gems hidden in the streets of Istanbul. We definitely recommend walking around neighborhoods such as Kadikoy which is on the Asian side of Istanbul.
Is Istanbul safe?
Quick answer? Yes. Istanbul is extremely safe. And we are sure that you will feel the same way. From the constant checks by the local authorities to an atmosphere where people play by the rules, you will feel safe. Thanks to the millions of tourists who travel to Istanbul every year, the locals have become accustomed to the tourists and benefit economically from their presence.
So, what are the possible risks?
Well, those associated with tourism. Istanbul is no different than any other European capital. Pickpocketing is just as much a problem in Istanbul as it is in Paris, Milan, or Barcelona. However, crime in Istanbul is extremely low for a city of its size. Try to always keep an eye on your belongings and you will have nothing to fear.
