F. Scott Fitzgerald famously once wrote, \u201cLet me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me.\u201d Indeed, rich and famous celebrities may have access to lifestyles that ordinary people only dream about, but in recent years, there is one aspect of life where the playing field has been leveled: cosmetic dentistry<\/a>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

These days, the average Joe can walk into their local dentist\u2019s office and walk out with an affordable silver screen smile. Keep reading to learn more about common cosmetic dental treatments that can give you a Hollywood look without the paparazzi hassle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that veneers actually originated in Hollywood? Makes sense, right? A dentist by the name of Dr. Charles Pincus created temporary veneers in 1928 that actors and actresses would wear while filming then promptly throw away. They created flawless smiles, but they were far from perfect for practical purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days, veneers are easily bonded to the front surfaces of the teeth and customized to complement a patient\u2019s natural teeth. These thin porcelain shells mimic the appearance of a perfect smile, able to address several cosmetic concerns at once, including chips, cracks, and discoloration. Today\u2019s veneers are also much sturdier. With proper care, they can last you a decade or longer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re also popular because they can completely transform your appearance with one simple treatment in just 2 visits to your dentist. That\u2019s why they\u2019re sometimes referred to as \u201cinstant smile makeovers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clear Aligners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Treatments like Invisalign and SureSmile have revolutionized cosmetic treatment in recent years. These methods involve wearing clear aligners that gently put pressure on your teeth to align crooked smiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that sounds familiar, it\u2019s because they accomplish the same thing as braces, just without the uncomfortable and unsightly metal brackets and wires. Clear aligners not only allow you to proudly keep smiling throughout treatment, but they\u2019re also removeable, making your teeth much easier to clean and allowing you to continue enjoying your favorite foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t be deceived \u2013 not all celebrities come by those glowing pearly whites naturally! If you\u2019re wondering how you can get the same look as your favorite star, you may want to give professional teeth whitening a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During this procedure, a dentist will apply professional-grade whitening agents to your teeth. Then, simply wait for about an hour and voila! You\u2019ll get dramatic results as your teeth should be brightened by several shades. Many dentists also offer convenient take-home whitening kits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a quick, easy, and non-invasive way to knock off years of stains and discoloration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dental bonding is a relatively simple cosmetic treatment that can improve the appearance of teeth with minor chips, cracks, discoloration, or small gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During treatment, your dentist applies a tooth-colored composite material and shapes it to improve the tooth’s appearance. Bonding can often be completed in a single appointment and may require little or no removal of natural tooth structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because bonding isn’t as resistant to staining or wear as some other cosmetic restorations, proper care and regular dental visits are important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to modern technology and more accessibility, you don\u2019t have to be a celebrity to achieve a camera-ready smile. If you\u2019re ready for a glow-up, contact your dentist about their cosmetic services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
