A Hollywood Smile is a comprehensive cosmetic dental treatment that transforms the entire visible smile using a combination of veneers and/or crowns. The term generally refers to getting porcelain restorations on your upper front teeth (and sometimes the lower teeth too) to create a bright, even, symmetrical smile. The treatment begins with a detailed smile design consultation where you and your dentist discuss the desired tooth shape, shade, and proportions. Many clinics use digital smile design software to show you a preview of the expected result. Once the plan is agreed, teeth are prepared, temporary restorations are fitted, and the permanent veneers or crowns are fabricated and bonded over several appointments. A Hollywood Smile package typically includes 8-10 upper veneers, but can extend to 16-20 teeth for a full upper-and-lower transformation. The exact combination of veneers and crowns depends on the condition of each individual tooth — teeth in good condition receive veneers, while weakened teeth may need full crowns for structural support.

Typically around £3,200 per treatment in Budapest, against a UK average of £7,500. The full spread across clinics runs £2,400–£4,500, and most of that difference is the material and the implant brand rather than the standard of the work — so compare like for like before you compare price.
Yes. Budapest is a well-established dental tourism destination. MyDentalFly only lists verified clinics with international accreditations. The same implant brands and materials used in the UK are available at verified clinics.
You'll typically need to stay 7-10 days in Budapest. Most treatments can be completed in a single trip.
Most packages cover the upper 8-10 front teeth. A full Hollywood Smile can include up to 20 teeth (upper and lower). The exact number depends on your smile line and goals.
Essentially yes, but a Hollywood Smile is a package deal covering multiple teeth with a coordinated smile design. Individual veneers treat one or two teeth. The materials and techniques are the same.
Your dentist will present a shade guide and discuss what looks natural for your skin tone and face shape. You can go for a bright white or a more subtle, natural shade. Digital previews help you decide before committing.
Hungary has been a dental tourism destination since the 1980s, originally serving Austrian and German patients. Budapest now treats over 100,000 international dental patients annually. The combination of highly trained dentists, EU regulation, and prices 50-70% lower than Western Europe created this reputation.
Budapest offers EU regulatory standards and proximity to the UK (2.5-hour flight), making follow-up visits straightforward. Turkey generally offers lower prices, especially for large-scale work like full-mouth restorations. Both destinations have excellent clinics — the best choice depends on your treatment needs and preferences.
