Techniques Used in a Hollywood Smile

Your doctor will have to assess the situation, getting the needed scans, and 3d imaging of your jaw to identify areas of focus.
That is so he can fix all the aesthetic issues related to your smile, different techniques are always dependent on your case.
The most prominent and commonly used dentistry techniques to get your Hollywood smile are
- Veneers
- Crowns
- Invisalign
- Implants
- Gum contouring
- Teeth whitening agents
These are all roads that lead to Rome, what method is used will depend on your doctor’s advice according to your situation, and the cost.
Dental Veneers
Dental Veneers are the most recommended technique to get a Hollywood smile, because of their sleek look,durability,strength, and stain-resistance.
Do not be fooled there isn’t only one type of veneer to go with there are multiple such as; porcelain veneers,lumineers, and composite resin veneers. Each of those different types has pros and cons, reasons to install, and most importantly quality and price difference.
Veneers aren’t just for aesthetics; they can solve a range of issues such as gaps between the teeth,chipping,stains, or crooked teeth.
Lets explore what cases would be optimal for these different types of veneers;
Porcelain veneers → They require the removal of the enamel layer by filing your teeth down– that provides room for the veneers to be placed on top of your teeth (Permanent option)
Lumineers→ Can be placed directly on your teeth because of them being thinner. (Safer option)
Composite resin veneers → Are made of the same materials as dental filings and can be tricky to shape, this is why they are recommended under special circumstances. (Tricky option)
Dental Crowns are necessary if you have seriously damaged teeth. The tooth is filed down during the preparation phase to allow the placement of a crown. This solution restores both functionality of the tooth and aesthetics, helping you achieve a white natural looking smile.
Dental Implants
Dental Implants are used to replace broken or severely damaged teeth. If you have a missing tooth– Implants then are used to fill the gap and perform as good as your natural one did.
Gum contouring
Gum contouring is when you do not have enough gum coverage or density on your teeth. Excessive gum tissue can be another aesthetic problem, so the solution here is to have enough gum.
Receding gums can affect your oral health. Depending on your condition Receding or Excessive, your dentist will reshape your gums to achieve the most aesthetically look on you.
Teeth Whitening
Teeth whitening is vital when it comes to getting your Hollywood smile procedure, as it is one of the most efficient procedures to get that result. Teeth whitening treats any discolouration or stains in the teeth. Remember to always try to get a natural shade of white, as too white would look a bit odd.
Do not worry about thinking about the colour shade, your doctor will provide you with a colouring sample, you should try to pick a colour that has a natural bit of yellow in it.
Invisalign treatment
Invisalign treatment is not as vital or problem solving as its peers from that list. It is an optional long-term procedure that is utilized to fix any misalignment of teeth.
You will be provided with a clear tray for you to wear for at least 22 hours of the day. (Braces but without the discomfort of permanently wearing them.)
They help and set you up for further procedures, as they target setting your teeth in their normal position and straightening them.
