Hollywood Smile Makeover with Veneers

What is a Hollywood Smile?

Cristiano Ronaldo, Tom Cruise and Miley Cyrus have it: a harmonious, white smile with two perfectly symmetrical and straight dental arches. A uniform smile and bright white teeth are exactly what the famous Hollywood smile and the celebrity look are all about.

As early as 1930s Hollywood, thin plastic shells were glued to the stars’ teeth on the day of filming. The goal? A perfect, radiant smile for the camera.

The definition of Hollywood Smile varies. For some, it means above all to have a radiant white smile, while for others it means having a perfect smile with veneers. Today, the term Hollywood Smile is increasingly known for a very specific tooth shape where all teeth have the same length. This applies particularly to the canines, which are often pointed by nature. While creating a Hollywood smile with veneers, this shape is often rounded off to match the adjacent teeth.

Hollywood Smile: in the past vs. today

Nowadays, you can get your flawless Hollywood smile thanks to state-of-the-art ceramic Veneers. Veneers were invented in 1928 by the Californian dentist Charles Pincus to make actors’ and actresses’ teeth look impeccable for filming. So it is hardly surprising that the origins of veneers lie in Hollywood. Marilyn Monroe or James Dean are said to have been among the first to have veneers applied permanently and not just temporarily for filming. That’s right, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean also (or already) had veneers.

What was made of plastic almost a century ago and only lasted for one day of filming has now become standard for movie stars. Since the 1950s, it became possible to apply veneers permanently. Made from high-quality ceramic, veneers are now virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth and offer a long-term solution to correct aesthetic imperfections and flaws.

If veneers are not an option, for example in the case of missing teeth due to cavities or inflammation, a dental bridge can also be a good solution. Dental bridges are fixed dental restorations and are firmly anchored in the dentition. They restore aesthetics and function of the periodontium, making the patient's smile more harmonious. For more information, read our article on dental bridges.

A Hollywood smile thanks to teeth whitening

Whitening toothpaste, mouthwash with whitening effect or whitening gel – nowadays there are many simple ways to whiten your teeth. From DIY home bleaching kits to professional teeth whitening at the dentist, teeth can be made visibly whiter by a couple of shade levels in no time.

Whitening your teeth is particularly recommended if your teeth are discoloured due to coffee, tea, red wine or other colouring foods. If you opt for the bestsmile Aligner treatment of both jaws, you will get a bestsmile Home Bleaching Kit free of charge.

How the bestsmile whitening works:

1. Distribute the whitening gel evenly into your Aligners – from molar to molar. Please note that if you have attachments, you will need to wait until they get removed at the end of your treatment to whiten your teeth. If you don’t have any attachments, you may whiten your teeth at any time during your treatment.
2. Insert the Aligners as usual and wear them for 8–10 hours in order for the whitening gel to be effective. If excess gel leaks out of an Aligner, remove it with a clean cotton swab.
3. One syringe of whitening gel is sufficient for 2– 3 applications and allows you to repeat the whitening process several times.

How much does a Hollywood smile cost?

The cost of your Hollywood smile can vary depending on the provider and the number of veneers required. bestsmile will tell you the costs right from the start and even offers you the option to pay in convenient monthly instalments from CHF 80.

And this increase in demand also means that more people are now willing to travel abroad to get their teeth fixed, but certainly not without its dangers. Abroad, veneers are often made of cheap materials and poor quality. bestsmile customer Doaa had to make this experience with abroad veneers twice.
