Hollywood Smile
In today's world, aesthetic dentistry goes beyond just healthy teeth to offer a perfect smile. One of the most popular treatments in aesthetic dentistry in recent years is the Hollywood Smile, or Hollywood Gülüşü in Turkish.

What is Hollywood Smile?

This technique aims to create a whiter, more symmetrical, and attractive smile, taking inspiration from the iconic smiles of Hollywood celebrities. At LHC Clinic, this procedure is frequently chosen by both women and men.
