HOLLYWOOD SMILE MAKEOVER
The Hollywood smile is a complete makeover of your smile, it is defined by two symmetrical rows of white teeth which are all perfectly aligned.
The Hollywood Smile incorporates several dentistry techniques such as the use of veneers, caps and implants. The dentists at HeadFirst Clinic are experienced in incorporating these techniques to fix many defects such as discolouration, missing teeth, misaligned teeth and gingival display (gummy smile).
What can the Hollywood Smile correct?
Some attributes of the Hollywood Smile are as follows:
•Sparking white and bright teeth free from crack lines or spots.
•Symmetry in the length, size and shape of the teeth.
•No crowding or gaps between the teeth.
•Improves the appearance of a gummy smile.
Hollywood Smile procedure
Prior to the Hollywood Smile procedure, the dentist will carry out an oral examination to ensure the teeth are healthy. Any issues that arise such as dental cavities will need to be treated first.
The Hollywood Smile procedure will differ from patient to patient depending on the condition of their teeth. A patient who may require implants will not follow the same procedure of a patient who only requires veneers. A case by case treatment plan will by outlined by the dentist to provide a more personalised result for each patient.
If you have chipped or cracked teeth as well as gaps between your teeth or bite problems, the procedure is perfect for you. It can also help with discoloured teeth.
Although porcelain veneers are not considered a permanent procedure since they will likely have to be replaced at some point, they can last for decades as long as you take care of them properly.
The pain factor depends on the condition of your teeth and how many and what kind of treatments you need. If you need drastic treatments such as implants, root canal, tooth extraction, etc. the entire treatment may be slightly painful.
