Uncover The Secrets Behind A Hollywood Smile

Have you always wanted that Hollywood smile? When you are able to flash that bright white smile to people you meet, it can be contagious and leaves you and them feeling happier. In fact, smiling has even been shown to have a range of health benefits, from relieving stress to boosting your immune system.

While dental hygiene is essential to a Hollywood smile, in order to get that same eye-catching grin that your favorite celebrity has, there is a range of dental procedures that your dentist can help you with. In this blog, we thought we would take a closer look at what a Hollywood smile is and how you can get that perfect smile.

What is a Hollywood smile?

Before we look at how you can get that perfect Hollywood smile, we thought we would first take a look at what exactly it is. When you see your favorite celebrities, the first thing that you notice is often their flawless smile.

However, while they might want you to think it is their natural smile, it is actually the result of a dental makeover. A Hollywood smile is made up of perfectly aligned teeth that feature no chips or cracks and finished with a brilliant white color that captures the attention of everyone you meet.

Unlike perfecting that six-pack, getting the perfect smile simply involves a comprehensive visit to your dentist.

How do celebrities get that Hollywood smile?

There are several cosmetic treatments that your dentist can use to help you secure that perfect smile and ensure your teeth are aligned and in the ideal shape and shade. Some of the most common methods they will use include:

Porcelain Veneers

One of the most common procedures to get that Hollywood smile is through dental veneers. Made from thin porcelain or ceramic, these veneers fit over your existing teeth, helping to protect the surface and create an aesthetic finish.

Your dentist will ensure your porcelain veneers match the color of your natural teeth and fit perfectly, ensuring that they do not feel out of place in your mouth. Fitting veneers help to prevent your real teeth from becoming stained or damaged.

Whitening

Of course, the trick to a genuine Hollywood smile is ensuring a pearly white finish. As you age, it is natural that your teeth begin to change color and become stained from the food and drink you consume. In order to ensure you can enjoy that bright white finish, your dentist will bleach your teeth with a safe solution that removes these stains.

There are various home whitening kits that you can use, but if you want that genuine Hollywood smile, you should seek the help of a professional dentist.

Dental Bonding

Another popular procedure to help you restore your teeth and create the perfect smile is dental bonding. This is one of the quickest and most affordable methods for a Hollywood smile and will help to repair any cavities, cracks, or scuffs that you might have.

Dental bonding can also help to improve the appearance of your discolored teeth, as your dentist can use natural-colored resin before solidifying it to ensure maximum durability.

Clear Invisalign Aligners

In recent years, the use of clear Invisalign aligners has become incredibly popular. Celebrities such as Billie Eilish and Justin Bieber have helped to bring this dental treatment into the limelight, and they are a wonderful way to straighten your teeth and create the perfect aesthetic finish.

To begin with, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth before creating a clear tray aligner that will be used for the Invisalign braces. These braces help to keep pressure on your teeth, bringing them into line, and as your teeth begin to change, you will need to change the aligner to keep that pressure on them.

It is essential that you are wearing your aligners 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in order to get your teeth into the desired position.

Celebrities with the Hollywood smile

Now you know how your favorite celebrities were able to get their perfect Hollywood smile, we thought we would take a closer look at some of the most famous faces who have achieved the ultimate smile.

George Clooney

Famed for his roles in the likes of Ocean’s Twelve, The Descendants, and Gravity, George Clooney is one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. While his brilliant white smile might be one of his defining features today, that has not always been the case.

Shortly after appearing in Facts of Life, George had a full set of veneers fitted in his mouth. While this was partly to achieve that Hollywood smile, it was not just about cosmetic reasons. George would regularly grind his teeth, wearing them away.

Victoria Beckham

The legendary Spice Girl has spent her career nicknamed ‘Posh’ and has become synonymous with fashion, style, and luxury. While she might be one of the A-list stars now, before she shot to fame and became one of the faces of girl power, her smile had wide gaps and uneven spaces.

To fix this, she had her teeth straightened and then bonded, ensuring she could enjoy the perfect white smile.

Keith Urban

Australian singer Keith Urban is one of the leading stars in country music, and if you look back to his early days on the scene, he had a noticeable gap in between his two front teeth. Fast forward to 2006, shortly before he married actress Nicole Kidman, and his teeth had become naturally straighter and whiter.

Unlike other celebrities, Keith has never spoken publicly about what procedures he has had to correct smile.

Miley Cyrus

Popstar and actress Miley Cyrus first reached our TV screens as the bubbly Hannah Montana. If you look back at the show, you will notice that her smile was slightly crooked. As she grew up and became more sophisticated, her smile changed with her. This was thanks to her opting to have her teeth straightened before being whitened.

Zac Efron

Heartthrob Zac Efron is one of Hollywood’s most recognizable faces, but before he rose to fame as one of the leading faces of High School Musical, his smile was far from celebrity worthy! The young actor underwent cosmetic dentistry to have his uneven teeth straightened to perfect alignment and then whitened to ensure he could capture the attention of viewers back home.

How to get that Hollywood smile today

If you are feeling self-conscious about your smile and you want to transform how people see you, then getting that Hollywood smile has never been easier. Your dentist will be able to help you identify what cosmetic treatment will be right for you, setting out a clear treatment plan to ensure that you can enjoy the perfect bright white smile.
