HOLIDENT RULES
#1 SCIENTIFIC APPROACH: "You will be in safe hands under scientific approach"
At Holident, we only work with dentists who graduated from Turkey’s top-class faculties. You may well benefit from the knowledge and experience offered by more than one specialist – particularly if your treatment is more complex.Whether you require endondontics, orthodontics, a general anesthetic, periodontology or implantology, you will be in the hands of an expert in each.
#2 PRICING:"We will only recommend the treatment you need"
At Holident, we have never pushed our patients towards the treatment which costs the most. If you only need six crowns, we will never recommend more and, if there is a chance of preserving a natural tooth, we will make every effort to do just that.
TOP & BOTTOM
CROWNS & VENEERS
The total number of crowns you’re likely to need is usually equal to the number of teeth visible when you smile. It's easy to make a rough estimate: just take a look in a mirror and smile! Nevertheless, we recommend patients contact us for more information before booking a visit.
Contact us to get a final plan before you visit us.
Promotional information, such as pricing, campaigns, and before-and-after photos, is prohibited on our website due to the rules of the official International Health Tourism Authorization. Please contact us to learn more and access case studies.
A single crown or veneer takes four to five days but it’s best to allow a week if you have chosen to have four or more. Your new full-mouth smile, including top and bottom teeth, also takes about a week to complete.
.
Please be aware crowns and veneers should only be applied if underlying dental issues such as infected roots, gum diseases, or cavities are addressed beforehand. Rest assured that our experts will provide the most effective treatment plan based on scientific principles. If additional treatment is necessary to establish a healthy foundation, you will be advised to schedule any work well in advance of your visit. Why not book a video call to receive recommendations from our experts.
Full mouth crown/veneer solutions – also known as the “Hollywood” treatment - provides the patient with a dazzling smile. The procedure can include a minimum of six top and eight bottom crowns and veneers – a number equal to the teeth you see in a mirror when you smile.
We use the best EU-approved materials available and digital dentistry solutions to provide the fastest, most comfortable and aesthetically-pleasing results. We only work with Noritake Kuraray® and E-Max® as our crown/veneer providers.
Something which patients who choose crowns or veneers might not realise is that one of the first things they’ll need to do is to make a choice. It’s a bit like going into Starbucks for a coffee or Nando’s for chicken. You know what you want but your server needs to know your preferences. If you’re not used to it, it can be a little overwhelming – and when you’re making choices about something which is likely last for many years to come, you’ll want to be sure it’s the right one. At Holident, it’s important to stress we only use the best-quality Zirconia products – but do you know the difference between YML, HTML or UTML? Unless you’ve done your research already, we’re guessing probably not…
There are 5 types of products used for full-mouth crowns/veneers:
- E-Max® Veneers: The best option for laminate veneers.
- Noritake Kuraray® YML Monolitic Zirconium Crowns/Veneers: 3D technology process from start to finish and the fastest when it comes to production.
- Noritake Kuraray® Ultra-translucent, multi-layered Zirconia veneers: The best aesthetics including extra translucency and craftwork.
- Noritake Kuraray® Zirconium crowns: The most common choice providing amazing aesthetics with affordable prices. A combination of 3D production and craftwork results with unique natural aesthetics.
- Noritake Kuraray® metal-supported porcelain crowns: The smart option for back jaw bridges.
Please be aware Holident never provides non-textured, cube looking crowns or veneers. A combination of E-Max® and Noritake Kuraray® quality, experienced dentists and professional craftwork ensure natural results.
Ultra Transculent Multi Layered Zirconia Veneers / Crowns
+ Less preparing (cutting/filing/shaving) is required on the enamel.
+ More translucent than Zirconium crowns which means a more natural look.
+ Natural teeth are actually layered and UTML Zirconia veneers are made to mimic them to provide a natural look.
+ Strong enough to last up to 15 years with proper care and maintenance and regular check-ups. (We provide a free check-up for five years for our patients). If you’re looking for the best of the best, these are what we would recommend.
Zirconium Crowns / Veneers
+ Zirconium crowns are also translucent for a natural look.
+ They are also strong enough to last up to 15 years with proper care and maintenance.
+ Zirconium crowns are the most popular among patients seeking a “Hollywood” smile.
Metal Supported Porcelain Crowns
+ Affordable and functional, porcelain crowns offer a smooth white finish at a reasonable price.
- Porcelain is fused onto darker metal which stops the light so the crowns may not appear as natural as the more expensive options.
We’re here to help so, if you’d like more information, feel free to contact us, visit us online, make an appointment for a video consultation with one of our experts or even drop in to our hospital in Fethiye. Remember it’s not just kings and queens who wear crowns.
The treatment takes around a week to complete; in other words, if we begin the procedure on Monday, it will usually be completed by the Friday or Saturday of the same week. Both of the procedures usually require between two to three visits.
Your temporary teeth will be fitted just after the initial filing procedure.
First appointment (Day 1): Filing down the tooth/teeth, which takes between two to four hours, depending on the condition of the teeth involved.
Second appointment (Day 5 or 6): Fitting the crown/veneer, which usually takes between one and two hours. However, if necessary, our dentist may schedule an additional appointment to complete the work.
However, it’s important to emphasise that crowns can only be fitted over healthy or treated teeth. If there is any gum disease, infected roots or decay, it will need to be treated first. Therefore, it may need more time than planned before.
Our dentists will take the necessary X-rays required to establish the details of the recommended supporting emergency treatment. If the patient agrees the additional treatment, we recommend allowing a total of ten days for the procedure.
Colour is an option which patients can choose from a palette. Bleach white or the natural colour of your existing teeth? It's totally up to you.
If they are properly maintained and cared for, crowns and veneers can last more than 15 years. If you are not in the habit of grinding your teeth, if you brush them daily and floss regularly and visit us at least once a year, your crowns and veneers will last longer. We also provide free check-up for five years. Click here for a testimonial from one of our first patients who has benefited from crowns for over 15 years - and still without any problems.
Even though fewer than 1% of our patients need to return to the hospital, we still offer a guarantee on all of our services. Any dentistry treatment which does not meet the patient’s aesthetic expectations, breaks or falls out will be replaced free of charge.
HOLIDENT RULES
#4 GUARANTEE:"Aftercare is a part of our service"
Even though less than 1% of our patients need to return for repeat treatments we still offer a five-year guarantee on crowns and veneers. Any which break or fall out will be replaced free of charge.
COMBINING CROWNS/VENEERS
WITH LASER WHITENING
Your top front teeth are the most visible part of your smile so it’s quite common for patients to concentrate on those at the beginning and to opt to have them crowned. However, there are options for your bottom teeth too:
· Patients can opt to have their top teeth crowned and then choose laser whitening for the bottom ones to enhance their smile.
· It is possible to complete the treatment in two visits. The bottom teeth can be completed during the second appointment.
· The treatment can usually be completed during two (sometimes three) appointments booked over five days. The first appointment would normally last approximately three hours and the second to fit the crowns about an hour. If needed you will be called for third appointment in case of any small adjustment after 1-2 days.
Please visit our whitening page to find out more about our laser-whitening technology.

CROCKED TEETH SOLUTIONS
Orthodontic treatment is the best first solution for crooked teeth but veneers and crowns can still be completed afterwards if required. However, some patients may still choose crowns and veneers as an alternative to the more conventional aligners or braces.
You can see examples below, showing how crowns can help to correct crooked or misaligned teeth.
MISSING TEETH SOLUTION WITH BRIDGES
There are two methods we use to replace missing teeth:
1. Bridges
2. Implants (more information is available on our Implants page)
Implants are lifetime solution and are preferable if the following conditions can be met:
• You have enough healthy bone.
• You have enough space between the teeth and around the gap.
• You don’t have diabetes.
• You don't have anchor teeth for a bridge.
Bridges are another option to replace missing teeth and offer the following advantages:
• They are more affordable.
• A fitting can be completed in one visit.
Before and after images of bridges fitted by Holident Dental Hospital can be viewed below.
Composite bonding is an amazing solution for suitable cases. The bonding procedure does not involve filing enamel and can be completed in a single visit (takes approximately an hour per tooth), resulting in a noticeable improvement to your smile from morning to afternoon. However, bonding should only be applied in the right cases, where there is sufficient space to apply composite bonding materials to reshape teeth. Otherwise, while it may initially bring satisfaction, it could lead to chipping and breaking problems over time.
It's best to contact us with photos of your teeth to receive recommendations from our cosmetic expert. If this isn't feasible, our experienced dentists can provide solutions such as crowns or veneers, utilizing appropriate techniques and materials, as we have been doing since 2004.
