How many days in Antalya for a smile makeover?
Typical 5–7 day calendar for UK patients: consult, preparation, try-in, cementation, and why you should not book a 3-day return for a full veneer case.
2026-08-15 · Murat Aktaş · Dt. Duygu Çiftçi
A coordinated smile makeover for UK patients is usually 5–7 days on the ground so the lab can work and you can have a try-in. Whitening alone can be 1–3 days. Implants often need a second trip. Do not book the cheapest 3-day flight for a full ceramic case. Hotel nights should match clinic time, not a holiday brochure.
A realistic week
Day 1 arrival and exam. Day 2 preparation and temporaries. Mid-week lab. Later try-in and adjustments. Last day cementation and a check before the airport. Swelling or a high bite can add a night. That is why we do not sell a fixed 72-hour smile.
When it is shorter
Whitening, a single small repair, or a review visit. Those are not Hollywood-smile weeks.
When it is longer
Gum treatment first, complex bite, or a large number of crowns. We would rather add days than skip try-in.
Antalya vs İzmir
The calendar is driven by the clinic slot and lab, not the city name on the ticket. You are told the site before you fly.
| Treatment | Typical days on the ground |
|---|---|
| Whitening only | 1–3 |
| Veneers / Hollywood smile | 5–7 |
| Crowns (zirconium / jacket) | 5–7 |
| Implant surgery | A few days + later crown trip |
FAQ
Can I do veneers in 3 days?
Sometimes a tiny case, not a full smile. Full ceramic work needs lab time and try-in.
Do I stay in Antalya specifically?
We coordinate partner clinics (Antalya / İzmir depending on the case). The city is confirmed with the plan.
Should I add a beach holiday?
After the last check, if you feel well. Swimming the day of preparation is a bad idea.
What if the lab is late?
We keep a buffer night when we can. Do not book a tight outbound that cannot move.
Is hotel included for those days?
On standard packages, yes, for the treatment window.
Can I work remotely from the hotel?
Often yes between appointments. The first 24 hours after preparation can be sore.
Implants in one week?
Placement may be. The final crown is often months later.
When do I book flights?
After we confirm clinic days, not before.
