The step-by-step process

Each step is planned in advance and coordinated by your single English-speaking contact.

📩
Step 1 · Before the trip

Online enquiry — within 2 hours

You send us 2 photos of your smile (front and side view) via the form or WhatsApp. Our English-speaking coordinator analyses your case and sends you a personalised treatment plan within 2 hours, free of charge and with no commitment.

🛬
Step 2 · Day 1

Arrival in Tunis — personalised welcome

Our team welcomes you at Tunis-Carthage airport and accompanies you to your accommodation (selected hotel included depending on the package). Briefing with your coordinator to confirm the appointment schedule.

🦷
Step 3 · Day 1-2

In-person consultation at the partner clinic

Full clinical examination with the practitioner: occlusion, periodontium, condition of the supporting teeth. Validation or adjustment of the treatment plan. If you wish, a digital simulation (mock-up) of the result before any preparation — a key step to validate the aesthetic project.

✏️
Step 4 · Day 2-3

Preparation and digital impressions

Very conservative preparation of the supporting teeth (No-Prep if possible — zero filing — or light preparation 0.3-0.7 mm for classic E-Max). Precise digital impressions via CAD/CAM intraoral scanner. Temporary veneers are fitted while waiting for the laboratory.

🔬
Step 5 · Day 3-5

Veneer fabrication in the laboratory

The partner prosthetic laboratory manufactures your custom E-Max veneers based on the impressions (typically 2-3 days). You stay in Tunis: rest, sightseeing, intermediate check-ups if necessary.

Step 6 · Day 6-7

Final placement and finishing

Try-in of the final veneers, aesthetic adjustments validated with you. Definitive bonding under isolated operating field. Final polishing, occlusion check. Before/after photos, maintenance instructions and 5-year written warranty handed over before your departure.

📞
Step 7 · After the trip

Active post-treatment follow-up — 30 days

Once back home, your coordinator and the practitioner remain reachable by WhatsApp for at least 30 days for any adjustment question. Direct liaison with the clinic in case of touch-up, and application of the 5-year warranty under conditions.

Why we publish these steps

Dental tourism suffers from a lack of transparency. Too many patients arrive without knowing what awaits them, discover unannounced steps or fees along the way, and have no recourse in case of trouble.

We publish the exact process so you can decide with full knowledge. If any step raises a question, write to us — we reply in less than 4 hours by WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions about the steps

How long does a Hollywood Smile trip to Tunisia last? +

The standard stay lasts 5 to 7 days on site. Everything is done in a single trip: consultation, tooth preparation, laboratory fabrication (2-3 days on site), try-in and final placement. You go home with your new smile.

How many appointments are needed during the trip? +

Generally 3 to 5 close appointments: initial consultation (D1-2), preparation and impressions (D2-3), placement of temporary veneers, then try-in and final bonding of the definitive veneers (D6-7). All appointments are scheduled in advance to optimise your time.

Do I need to come back to Tunisia after the trip? +

No. The Hollywood Smile trip is designed to be done in a single visit. Post-treatment follow-up is done remotely by WhatsApp with your practitioner and our English-speaking coordinator, for at least 30 days. The 5-year warranty applies even from the UK, Ireland or other EU countries.

What happens during the 2-3 days of laboratory fabrication? +

You wear comfortable temporary veneers and you are free to enjoy Tunis: sightseeing, restaurants, beach depending on the season. Our team offers on-site recommendations. No pain or particular sensitivity to fear.

Is the mock-up (simulation) systematic? +

No, but it is strongly recommended for major transformations. It allows you to preview the result before any preparation and to validate the aesthetic project with you. This step is included in our Premium packages.

What accommodation during the trip? +

Depending on the chosen package, accommodation is included (high-end partner hotels in Tunis) or at your own expense with our recommendations. Our coordinators organise transfers from and to the airport, as well as daily transport to the clinic.

What does the treatment plan sent within 2h include exactly? +

The plan details: exact number of veneers planned, type of material (No-Prep E-Max, classic E-Max, layered), trip duration, all-inclusive price, appointment schedule, identified partner clinic, applicable warranties. No surprise charges after confirmation.
