What is Hollywood Smile?

Hollywood Smile consists of somewhat thick veneer lenses installed on the front surface of the teeth. The function of these lenses is to cover damaged teeth in order to conceal their flaws and various deformations, ranging from pigmentation on their surface to fractures, cracks in their structure, or decay within their cavity. The main goal of installing Hollywood Smile is to improve the overall appearance of the teeth and maintain their shine and bright whiteness. Usually, these installations are made from ceramic raw materials with cosmetic properties.

Why opt for Smile Dental Veneers?

There are some cases that require Hollywood Smile to eliminate any damage in the mouth, which could be represented by the following possibilities:

• Changing the color of the tooth surface to yellow and gray colors.
• Cases suffering from the appearance of white pigmentation spots on their surface.
• Cases that have experienced tooth cavity decay and have been replaced with medical fillings.
• Wear and damage to parts of the tooth structure.
• Teeth that are uneven in shape, color, and size, causing a poor overall appearance.
• Gaps between teeth.

Types of Hollywood Smile

Hollywood Smile is a modern technique that has proven its efficiency in changing the shape of teeth for the better and showcasing their bright whiteness. There are usually two main types:

• Fixed Hollywood Smile: These are hard, thin veneers shaped based on the size, shape, and measurements of each patient’s teeth. They are lenses installed by the doctor in the clinic and should not be removed or reinstalled by the patient because they are permanent installations glued with adhesive materials on the surface of the filed teeth.
• Removable Hollywood Smile: These are veneers made from ceramic materials that serve a cosmetic role in hiding any flaws and deformations of the teeth. However, unlike the fixed smile, they are easily removable and re-installable at any time and anywhere by the patient, and are less expensive compared to the fixed smile because they do not have the same special aesthetic effect.

What is the difference between Hollywood Smile and teeth whitening?

There is a fundamental difference between the two methods; Hollywood Smile is a cosmetic technique only that conceals different flaws and deformations of the teeth and presents them in the perfect color, shape, and size to achieve the perfect smile, unlike teeth whitening technique that relies on changing the surface color of the teeth only but does not affect the color of pigmentation between the teeth structure.

How to Install Smile Dental Veneers

How to Install Smile Dental Veneers

Installing Smile Dental Veneers is suitable for damaged teeth that suffer from structural defects, and can be installed in several steps as will be clarified in the following points:

• During the first session, a visual examination of the mouth and teeth of the patient is conducted, and in some complex cases, it might be necessary to use X-rays or medical examinations that help the doctor understand the problem the patient is suffering from and attempt to prescribe the appropriate treatment for it.
• If the doctor and the patient agree on installing Smile Dental Veneers, the doctor will prepare the mouth for this, taking measurements of the patient’s teeth and attempting to make molds similar to them in color, size, and shape.
• During the second session, the doctor removes a part of the enamel layer covering the patient’s teeth by up to 0.5 millimeters to prepare them for the installation of the smile installations on their surface.
• In the final session, the doctor tries the smile mold on the patient’s teeth to ensure their suitability and make any adjustments if there’s any issue, then thoroughly clean the mouth and teeth and use adhesive to fix the installations with the help of laser. Some cases require periodic follow-up afterwards to ensure the lenses’ and teeth’s well-being.
