Overview
Smile design combines digital planning technology with precision porcelain veneers, crowns, and professional whitening to create a customised, camera-ready smile. Patients travelling abroad benefit from dramatic aesthetic transformations carried out by skilled cosmetic dentists at 40–65% below European and North American prices.
Your case is matched to a centre on the basis of clinical outcome data, not marketing. We coordinate every step — from pre-operative work-up to post-treatment follow-up — with a dedicated care coordinator.

Cost & recovery by procedure
This treatment category covers several different operations with different levels of invasiveness, recovery times, and costs. The country averages above blend all of them together — use the breakdown below for a more realistic, procedure-specific estimate.
Porcelain Veneers
Thin custom-made porcelain shells are bonded to the front surface of teeth to correct discoloration, chips, gaps, or shape irregularities, after a small amount of enamel is shaved down to make room for the shell.
Typical recovery · 2 visits, no downtime
Usually 2 visits — tooth preparation and impressions at the first, bonding the finished veneers at the second — with temporary veneers worn in between while the porcelain set is fabricated. Mild sensitivity to hot or cold can last a few days after bonding. Veneers are not permanent: porcelain veneers typically last 10–15 years on average, and up to 20 years with good care, before chipping, staining at the margins, or debonding eventually calls for replacement.
India
$150–$300 per veneer
Turkey
$250–$500 per veneer
Thailand
$250–$600 per veneer
Digital Smile Design
A digital planning step, not a treatment in itself: photographs, video, and intraoral scans of the patient's face and teeth are used to build a computer simulation of the proposed smile, from which a temporary mock-up can be tried in the mouth so the patient can preview and approve the shape, length, and color before any tooth is prepared for veneers or bonding.
Typical recovery · Same day, no recovery
A same-day consultation and imaging session with no incision or anesthesia involved, so there is no clinical recovery period. It is typically bundled into the overall smile-makeover treatment plan rather than billed as a separate procedure.

Professional Teeth Whitening
A high-concentration peroxide bleaching gel is applied to the teeth in-clinic, often with a light or laser to accelerate the reaction, lightening the natural tooth shade in a single sitting.
Typical recovery · 1 session, 1–3 years
A single in-office session of roughly 60–90 minutes with no downtime, though transient tooth or gum sensitivity is common for 24–48 hours afterward. Whitening is not permanent — enamel is porous, so staining from coffee, tea, red wine, or tobacco gradually returns, and results typically last 1–3 years before a touch-up session is needed depending on diet and habits.
India
$100–$150
Turkey
$150–$400
Thailand
$200–$300
Composite Bonding & Recontouring
Tooth-colored composite resin is sculpted directly onto teeth in the chair to close small gaps, repair chips, or reshape uneven edges, with little to no enamel removal — a more conservative, lower-cost alternative to veneers for minor imperfections.
Typical recovery · 1 visit, 3–10 years
Completed in a single visit, usually under two hours, with no anesthesia or downtime required. Composite bonding is less durable than porcelain veneers, typically lasting 3–10 years before chipping or staining requires polishing, repair, or replacement.

Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking restorations. International patients access single, multiple, or full-arch All-on-4/All-on-6 implant solutions at significantly lower cost than Western prices, using the same certified implant systems.
Starting from
$500
5–14 days
Zygomatic Implants
Zygomatic implants are long titanium implants anchored into the cheekbone (zygoma) rather than the upper jaw, offering an alternative to bone grafting or sinus lift for patients with severe upper-jaw bone loss. Because the zygomatic bone is naturally dense, many patients can receive a fixed set of teeth within days of surgery, avoiding the months-long grafting and healing timeline required before a standard implant can be placed.

5–10 days
Guided Implant Surgery
Guided implant surgery uses a 3D CT/CBCT scan of your jaw to digitally plan the exact position, angle, and depth of each implant before surgery, then transfers that plan to the mouth using a custom 3D-printed surgical guide or real-time navigation. It is a technology-led placement workflow that can be used for routine single-tooth cases as well as complex multi-implant and full-arch reconstructions, offering greater planning precision than traditional freehand placement.

Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
Full-mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary restoration of all teeth in both jaws — combining implants, crowns, veneers, and periodontal treatment to rebuild function, aesthetics, and confidence. It is ideal for patients with severely worn, broken, or missing teeth who want a permanent, total-mouth solution at a fraction of Western costs.

Frequently asked questions
Yes — in most cases a complete veneer smile design can be finished in a single visit of seven to ten days. On day one the clinic performs diagnostics and digital smile design, presenting you with a visual simulation of your new smile. On day two or three the teeth are prepared and high-quality temporary veneers are placed. The permanent porcelain or E.max veneers are fabricated by an in-house lab over three to five days, and final bonding is completed before you fly home. You leave with your finished, permanent smile. Only very complex cases combining extractions, implants, and veneers require two visits.
