Have you ever noticed that most celebrities seem to have perfect teeth? That isn’t because they are naturally endowed with beautiful smiles. Rather, many of them have undergone cosmetic dentistry procedures — the same procedures that are available to almost everyone! What are some services that might help you feel ready for the red carpet?
Teeth Whitening
Weather it is on-camera or off, many celebrities take pride in having a bright, white smile. If your teeth seem to be a little yellow or lackluster, you may want to ask your dentist about teeth whitening services. Professional whitening formulas can penetrate the tooth enamel and get rid of unwanted pigment molecules. Often, it takes just one dental appointment to achieve a smile that is several shades brighter!
Veneers
Miley Cyrus, Tom Cruise, Celine Dion, and many other A-listers are rumored to have veneers. Veneers are custom-made pieces of porcelain that a dentist attaches to the outward-facing surface of the teeth. Their purpose is to disguise a range of aesthetic imperfections, such as small gaps, minor misalignment, discoloration, and more. The treatment process requires just a few appointments, and the results may last for 10 – 15 years or longer!
The majority of dentists offer veneers, so there is no doubt that ordinary people can access this service just as easily as the rich and famous!
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding, also known as direct bonding or cosmetic bonding, involves the use of a tooth-colored resin that gets molder over the teeth. At first, it looks very similar to veneers. It is also quite affordable. The downside is that it is not very durable, and it is usually recommended for people who want to change the appearance of just one or two teeth, rather than makeover their entire smile.
Metal-Free Restorations
A metal filling or crown can disrupt your smile’s natural beauty. If you have an old restoration that bothers you, ask your dentist about metal-free alternatives. They can be shade-matched to blend in beautifully with your tooth enamel so onlookers never have to know that you had some work done on your smile.
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just for celebrities! Ask your dentist how they can help you look and feel like a superstar.
