In short
- A Hollywood smile is an aesthetic goal, not a single treatment.
- Whitening, veneers, zirconia or E-max may be used alone or together.
- Healthy teeth and gums come first.
- The most conservative suitable method should be preferred.
Which treatments are used?
- Teeth whitening: to lighten natural teeth
- Porcelain veneers: to improve shade and shape on front teeth
- Zirconia or E-max crowns: for teeth with structural loss
- Fillings, root canal treatment or implants where needed, for a healthy base
Who is it suitable for?
It can be considered for adults unhappy with their smile because of discolouration, shape, small chips or gaps. Untreated decay or gum disease must be treated first.
Keeping the result natural
- A shade that suits your skin and eyes, not simply the whitest
- Tooth length and shape that suit your face and lip line
- Attention to the gum line
- Where suitable, a preview mock-up to see the result in advance
Timeline and aftercare
Timing depends on the methods chosen; plans with veneers or crowns need several appointments. For a long-lasting result, brush and clean between your teeth daily, have check-ups every six months and wear a night guard if you grind.
