About This Treatment
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do hollywood smile cost in Krakow?
Typically around £2,800 per treatment in Krakow, against a UK average of £7,500. The full spread across clinics runs £2,000–£4,000, 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.
Is Krakow safe for hollywood smile?
Yes. Krakow 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.
How long do I need to stay in Krakow for hollywood smile?
You'll typically need to stay 7-10 days in Krakow. Most treatments can be completed in a single trip.
How many teeth are included in a Hollywood Smile?
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.
Is a Hollywood Smile the same as getting veneers?
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.
How do I choose the right shade?
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.
Why is Krakow becoming popular for dental tourism?
Krakow combines EU-regulated dental care with prices 40-60% lower than the UK. The city has a strong medical tradition through Jagiellonian University, excellent flight connections, and is one of Europe's most affordable and beautiful cities to visit.
How does Krakow compare to Budapest for dental work?
Both cities offer EU-regulated dental care at similar price points. Budapest has a longer dental tourism track record and more established clinics. Krakow is newer to the scene but growing fast, with slightly lower living costs and a charming Old Town. Flight times from London are nearly identical.
