HOLLYWOOD SMILE MAKEOVER

If you want to opt for Hollywood smile, porcelain veneers are the best material for it. They are not only very natural looking but also most conservative option in relation to teeth cutting. These are customized thin shell-like structures which are bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth.

Hollywood smile needs maintenance and long-term care. Your dentist will tell you to brush and flossing regularly, use a mouthwash, avoid strong colored food and beverages, wear a night guard, avoid chewing or biting on very hard food and visit your dentist on regular bases for oral prophylaxis.

The lifespan of a Hollywood smile depends on the type of material used on the teeth, patient compliance to care and maintenance and regular visits to dentist. Porcelain veneers are stronger option for veneer material and lasts longer than composite veneers.  Life span of crowns or bridge is 15yrs on average.

Research shows that porcelain veneers do not get discolored or stained easily as porcelain is stain resistant material, but those made from composite resins do stain and need regular polishing and replacements after sometime.

Well that is a subjective question. The veneers can change the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth so your smile and face will have significant change.

Not all people can have Hollywood smile makeover not because we can not provide them but because of their own weak teeth and gums and sometimes in patients with habits like teeth grinding at night are not given this treatment.

While Hollywood Smile is a safe, effective treatment but it does have some side effects. Pain and discomfort are common right after the procedure. Patients who undergo Hollywood Smile may experience mild soreness after the procedure that can last up to couple of days.

No, as during the preparation of teeth for veneers, crowns etc we have to remove the enamel or outer surface of the teeth. This renders this treatments as irreversible. Veneers or crowns can be replaced with new ones with different shade and shape but enamel can never be regrown by our body or artificially as enamel is not a regenerative tissue.

This usually depends on number of teeth which needs to be fixed to achieve ideal smile and also size of a person's smile also play a significant part in selection of number of veneers. Someone with a small mouth might only have six teeth per arch visible during a smile and would only need six veneers in one arch. Patients with larger mouths can show more teeth and would need respective number of veneers.

The colors most famous for Hollywood smile makeover are High Translucency BL3, BL2, AND BL1 (also known as 'Hollywood white'). Our Dental experts will talk you through these options to ensure that the shade you select from the card is one that works best for you.

In some instances teeth are first aligned to get the ideal position of teeth in order to place veneers on them to get symmetric shape and sizes of teeth.
