Dr. Ayşe Kaya leads the Hollywood smile and veneer programs at WeCare Dental Clinic. After graduating from Istanbul University Faculty of Dentistry in 2010 (one of Turkey's two most prestigious dental schools), she completed a two-year cosmetic dentistry fellowship at King's College London (2012-2014) — among the world's top centres for advanced cosmetic protocols and Digital Smile Design.
Dr. Kaya has personally designed and overseen the placement of over 800 Hollywood smile cases at WeCare since 2018, plus thousands of individual veneer cases. Her work focuses on natural-looking outcomes — the opposite of the "denture white" stereotype that gives Turkish dental tourism a bad reputation.
Hollywood Smile Approach
The defining feature of Dr. Kaya's Hollywood smile work is the Digital Smile Design (DSD) protocol that precedes any tooth preparation:
Day 1 — Photographic and Digital Capture
Day 1 afternoon — Acrylic Mock-Up
A temporary composite mock-up is placed over your existing teeth so you literally see what each design alternative looks like in your mouth, in your face, in different lighting conditions. You smile, talk, take photos. You decide on the final design before any drilling.
Day 2 — Tooth Preparation Under Approved Design
Only after your written approval of the final design does any preparation begin. The veneer thickness, shape, length, and shade are all locked in.
Day 5 — Try-In and Bonding
Same iterative principle: the finished veneers are placed in your mouth without bonding adhesive. You see them in real lighting, take selfies, smile dynamically. If you want any change — even half a millimetre adjustment — Dr. Kaya redoes that veneer at no extra charge before bonding.
This iterative, design-first approach is the same one used by celebrity cosmetic dentists in Beverly Hills. It is far more time-consuming than the "show up, prep, come back tomorrow" approach used at budget Turkish clinics — and the difference shows in the result.
Master Ceramist Collaboration
WeCare's hand-layered IPS e.max® veneers are made by our Swiss-trained master ceramist working in coordination with Dr. Kaya. Unlike CAD/CAM-milled veneers (which are technically correct but visually flat), hand-layered veneers have:
Dr. Kaya works directly with the master ceramist on each case to ensure the design intent translates faithfully from digital plan to physical porcelain.
Specialty Cases
Beyond standard cosmetic veneers, Dr. Kaya specialises in:
Tetracycline-Stained Cases — Dr. Kaya has developed WeCare's protocol for layered porcelain technique with strategic opaquer placement, which is the only way to mask deep intrinsic tetracycline staining with veneers (rather than crowns).
Fluorosis Cases — White or brown fluorosis spotting requires a different approach than uniform staining. Dr. Kaya's experience with this specific cosmetic challenge has resulted in some of WeCare's most dramatic before-after transformations.
Wedding and Public-Appearance Cases — Patients with hard deadlines (3-4 weeks before a wedding) need careful timing. Dr. Kaya handles these cases personally to ensure no scheduling delays.
Smile Repair Cases — Patients arriving with previous failed cosmetic work from other clinics. Removal, redesign, and re-veneering with the original soft-tissue contours intact.
Direct Patient Communication
Like all WeCare senior clinicians, Dr. Kaya communicates with her patients directly via WhatsApp from initial consultation through long-term follow-up. Treatment plans are signed by her, design decisions are made with her input, and any post-treatment questions go directly to her. No sales-agent filtering.
Continuing Education
Dr. Kaya attends EAO (European Association for Osseointegration) and Cosmetic Dentistry conferences annually. She is a regular instructor at DSD certification courses and Ivoclar advanced veneer technique workshops in Turkey and abroad.
What Patients Say
Patient reviews consistently mention three things about Dr. Kaya's work: (1) the natural-looking outcome (not over-bright "Hollywood fake"), (2) her patience during the design phase (typically 2-3 hours of design discussion before any preparation), and (3) the fact that she remembers them years later when they return for related treatments or follow-up.
