What Is a Smile Makeover?
We’ve seen many patients confuse a smile makeover with a simple “quick fix.” A true makeover is a custom combination of several dental procedures designed to address multiple concerns simultaneously, such as gaps, crowding, chips, and deep staining.
Treatments typically included
Depending on your specific needs, a makeover at Mavidenta may include:
- E-max or Zirconium Crowns: To restore strength and shape.
- Porcelain Veneers: For minor misalignments and permanent whitening.
- Dental Implants: If you have missing teeth (using Straumann or Nobel Biocare).
- Gum Contouring: Performed by Dr. Selin Kaya to fix a “gummy smile.”
- Laser Teeth Whitening: To brighten natural teeth surrounding the new restorations.
How it differs from a Hollywood Smile
Often used interchangeably, there is a clinical nuance. A “Hollywood Smile” usually refers to a specific, high-brightness aesthetic often achieved with 20 veneers. A smile makeover is broader; it addresses functional issues like bite alignment and can be designed to look “Natural-Chic” rather than just “Hollywood White.”
Smile Makeover Turkey Cost 2026
The primary reason patients visit Mavidenta from the UK is the significant price difference. While UK clinics must account for astronomical lab fees and overheads, our 7,000 square meter facility in Istanbul operates with a more efficient cost structure without compromising on Swiss or German material quality.
Turkey vs. the UK smile makeover price
The table below reflects average costs for full-mouth restorations (approx. 20 units) using high-grade materials like Zirconium or E-max.
| Procedure | UK Average Cost | Mavidenta Turkey Cost | Savings |
| Full Smile Makeover (20 Units) | £16,000 – £22,000 | £3,800 – £6,200 | ~70% |
| Porcelain Veneer (Single) | £850 – £1,200 | £220 – £350 | ~75% |
| Single Dental Implant (Swiss) | £2,500 – £3,500 | £600 – £950 | ~72% |
| Zirconium Crown | £700 – £1,000 | £180 – £280 | ~75% |
Individual treatment costs vs package
At Mavidenta, we offer “All-Inclusive” packages. This means your quoted price includes your 5-star hotel stay, VIP transfers between the airport, hotel, and clinic, all X-rays (including 3D Tomography), and medication. There are no hidden fees.
Smile Makeover Istanbul: Why Choose Mavidenta?
Istanbul has become a global hub for dentistry, but not all clinics provide specialist-led care. Mavidenta is among the 2% of clinics in Turkey with a massive dedicated hospital-grade facility that provides top-notch services.
Digital smile design technology
We use AI-assisted Smile Design. This allows you to see a 3D preview of your final result on a screen before we even touch your teeth. Dr. Özlem Yalçın collaborates with our in-house technicians to ensure the shape matches your facial symmetry, a process backed by the Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry (2021), which highlights that digital planning increases patient satisfaction rates by 40%.
Our transformation process
- Online Assessment: Send your photos via WhatsApp.
- In-person Consultation: Detailed 3D scans and X-rays upon arrival.
- Preparation: Minimal tooth preparation under local anaesthesia.
- The Trial: Trying on your temporary “mock-up” to check the fit and feel.
- Final Fitting: Bonding your custom-made Zirconium or E-max restorations.
Smile Makeover UK: What Are the Options?
Many of our patients from London, Manchester, and Birmingham initially looked for a smile makeover in the UK but found the “private-only” costs astronomical. In the UK, cosmetic work is rarely covered by the NHS, leading to many patients taking out high-interest dental loans.
Why do patients prefer Turkey over the UK?
- Time: A full makeover in the UK can take 3 to 6 months. At Mavidenta, we complete the process in 5 to 7 days.
- Specialisation: You are treated by a team: a prosthodontist, a surgeon, and an aesthetic dentist, rather than a general practitioner.
- Warranty: We provide a 20-year warranty on crowns and a lifetime guarantee on implants.
Is It Safe to Have Dental Work in Turkey?
It is safe when you choose a clinic that prioritises medical ethics over volume. Clinical safety is our cornerstone. We use only FDA-approved materials and follow strict European sterilization protocols.
Dr. Ahmet Yıldız, our maxillofacial surgeon, notes that “safety in Turkey often surpasses UK standards because our specialist volume is higher, leading to more refined clinical instincts in complex cases.” Our 97.8% success rate in implantology is a testament to this rigor.
From First Message to Final Smile: A Mavidenta Patient Story
Mark, a 48-year-old teacher from Manchester, had suffered from “shortened” teeth due to years of nocturnal grinding (bruxism). He felt his smile aged him by ten years. After seeing the costs at a local private clinic, he contacted Mavidenta via WhatsApp.
The Contact: Mark was hesitant. He sent photos of his teeth and received a voice note from our patient coordinator explaining that he didn’t just need whitening, he needed to restore the height of his bite.
The Assessment: Upon arrival at our Istanbul clinic, Mark met Dr. Necat Aslan. who identified that Mark’s jaw alignment was shifting due to tooth wear. A plan was made for 24 Zirconium crowns to rebuild the bite and the aesthetic.
A Moment of Doubt: On the second day, while wearing his temporary teeth, Mark worried they felt “too big.” Dr. Özlem Yalçın sat with him, showing him the digital design again and explaining that the final Zirconium units would be 15% thinner and more translucent. This honest clinical explanation calmed his nerves.
The Result: Six days later, the final crowns were fitted. Mark looked in the mirror and didn’t see “Turkish teeth”; he saw the teeth he had in his twenties.
“I was terrified of looking like I had ‘piano keys’ in my mouth,” Mark said during his final check-up. “But Dr. Özlem was so precise with the shading. They look like they grew there. The best part wasn’t just the look, it was being able to eat without sensitivity for the first time in years.”
Mark returned to Manchester with a full aftercare kit and a 20-year warranty certificate in his hand.
Conclusion
If you’ve spent years postponing treatment because of UK private costs, or settling for NHS care that addresses function but ignores aesthetics, the decision to pursue a smile makeover Turkey is less a leap of faith and more a logical conclusion.

FAQ: Smile Makeover Turkey
How much does a full smile makeover cost in Turkey?
A full makeover typically ranges from £3,500 to £7,000, depending on the number of teeth and materials (Zirconium vs. E-max) used. This represents a saving of roughly £10,000 compared to UK private prices.
How long do I need to stay in Istanbul for a smile makeover?
Most makeovers require exactly 6 nights and 7 days. This allows for the initial preparation, the laboratory fabrication of your teeth, and a final fit/adjustment period to ensure your bite is perfect.
Does a smile makeover in Turkey hurt?
We use advanced local anaesthesia and, if requested, sedation. Most patients describe the feeling as “pressure” rather than pain. Post-treatment sensitivity is normal for 48 hours and is managed with standard over-the-counter medication.
Can I get a natural-looking smile design in Turkey?
Yes. At Mavidenta, we avoid the “one-size-fits-all” white look. Our technicians use multi-layered Zirconium with varying translucency to mimic natural enamel. You choose the shade, from “Natural BL4” to “Hollywood BL1.”
What happens if I have a problem when I return to the UK?
Mavidenta provides a comprehensive 20-year warranty. Because we use global brands like Straumann and Nobel Biocare, any dentist worldwide can identify the components. However, for any warranty-related adjustments, we cover the clinical costs at our Istanbul facility.
