How we make money

Last updated: 26 October 2026

Hollywood Istanbul is an independent information website for Australians who are researching a Hollywood smile, veneers, dental implants or other dental treatment, at home or in Istanbul. We are not a dental clinic. This page explains how the site is funded, because it affects how you should read what we publish.

Our partner clinic

The website has a commercial relationship with one dental clinic: Özel Natural Clinic Tıp Merkezi (owned by Natural Estetik ve Sağlık Hizmetleri A.Ş.), Ataköy 7-8-9-10. Kısım, E5 Yanyol Cad. No: 8/2/4, Bakırköy, İstanbul, Türkiye (naturaltipmerkezi.com). This relationship is how the website is funded.

  • When you send a question or treatment enquiry through one of our forms, your name, contact details and message are passed to this clinic, which contacts you by email or phone.
  • We do not pass your enquiry to any other clinic, and we do not sell your details to anyone else.
  • You are never obliged to book anything. Any quote, treatment plan, price or warranty comes from the clinic, not from us, and should be given to you in writing.
  • Our dental reviewer works at the same clinic. We say this on the reviewer’s page so you can weigh it.

What this means for our guides

  • We explain risks, limitations and alternatives (including treatment in Australia and public dental services) alongside benefits.
  • We do not publish prices without a named, dated source, and we do not publish discount offers or savings percentages.
  • We do not use patient testimonials, star ratings or “before and after” claims, and we avoid words such as “best”, “guaranteed” or “painless”.
  • Nothing on this site replaces an examination by a qualified dentist. If you are unsure, talk to a dentist in Australia before you travel.

Our rules for writing, sourcing and review are on the editorial policy page. To report something that looks wrong, use our corrections process.

Advertising and affiliate links

We do not run display advertising and we do not use affiliate links. Links to other websites are there because they are useful sources.
