Whether it’s their multi-million-dollar homes, their jet-setting lifestyle, or their jaw dropping wardrobes, celebrities always seem to have that certain something the rest of us want. But there’s one thing they have that anyone can: a megawatt smile! If you’ve always wished you had a gorgeous grin that’s ready for the silver screen, don’t despair. Cosmetic dentistry is more accessible than ever before, and it can give you the look befitting your favorite stars!
Here are a few popular cosmetic procedures that can help you get the smile of your dreams, even if you’re not famous!
Veneers
Veneers are essentially thin, porcelain caps that fit over your teeth to make them whiter and to hide minor chips, gaps, or even make them appear more evenly spaced. Veneers can be applied in about two appointments. They are durable, natural-looking, and one of the fastest and easiest ways to get that celebrity smile you’ve been wishing for!
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding is done with the same material that is used in tooth-colored (metal-free) fillings and works under the same principle of rebuilding a damaged area of the tooth. If you have a broken or chipped tooth, your dentist can essentially resculpt it. The tooth will be complete again, and because it looks and feels natural, nobody will know it’s been restored!
Professional Whitening
Professional whitening is the fastest and easiest way to lift up to eight shades of discoloration from your natural teeth. It can be done right in your dentist’s office in about an hour, and the results are permanent (though they can become re-stained if you don’t care for them properly).
Gum Recontouring
Do your teeth look too short or “stubby?” Gum recontouring can help remove excess tissue from the tops of your teeth, so they appear longer and your smile less gummy. This more balanced appearance will better showcase your healthy teeth and beautiful smile!
Remember, you don’t need to be a celebrity to have a superstar smile. These cosmetic dentistry options can help you get the look you’ve always wanted without the million-dollar paycheck!
