Veneers for movie stars - Hollywood smile

Hollywood veneers for movie stars are now an international standard. The cult of the smile has conquered the whole world today. This simple facial gesture expresses friendliness and evokes a desire to continue communication. A smile is an important attribute of the everyday life of any person, be it a celebrity or an ordinary person. Unfortunately, an extremely small number of inhabitants of the planet can boast of ideal whiteness and alignment of teeth.

The smiles of media figures shine with particular beauty: politicians, actors, singers, businessmen. This is not surprising: straight white teeth are not just aesthetically pleasing. Subconsciously, they are perceived by others as a sign of a person’s health, mental balance, and, of course, they inspire trust in the wearer.

Meanwhile, pictures constantly pop up online showing what stars’ teeth looked like before going to the dentist. And looking at old photos, everyone understands that a Hollywood smile is a dream that can become a reality.

In order for a popular singer or film actor to become one, a whole team of professionals works: stylists, makeup artists, producers. It is thanks to the masters of their craft that a star becomes recognizable, and this takes time. But the transformation of teeth is really a matter of several days or even hours. Hollywood veneers come to the rescue when you need to quickly achieve a white, smooth and shiny smile.

Hollywood veneers mean the thinnest plates that are applied to the vestibular surface of the teeth, eliminating small external errors:

chips and cracks of enamel;
diastemas and trema;
different sizes of teeth in a row;
pigment spots, unsatisfactory enamel color, defects in the natural enamel coating, etc.

Veneers from Hollywood

For the inhabitants of the planet, Hollywood is associated with the American film industry. And indeed, the first snow-white and even smiles appeared among film actors from the USA. This happened in the 30s of the twentieth century. It cannot be said that the level of dentistry in those days was high. Against the backdrop of the not always even and intact smiles of ordinary people, the teeth of actors and actresses amazed with their magnificence, contributing to the emergence of the popular term - the Hollywood smile.

In fact, the stars of that time did not always have beautiful teeth. The famous California dentist Charles Pincus in 1928 figured out how to improve the aesthetic perception of movie characters' smiles in close-ups. He came up with special overlays that imitate straight white teeth and called them veneers. They were attached to natural teeth, sparkled, sparkled and stayed in place throughout one day of filming. The technology is called Hollywood Laminates.

Over the next five decades, this technique was used exclusively during the filming process, gluing lumineers to the teeth daily and removing them after the allotted time. But in the eighties of the twentieth century, a method was discovered for etching tooth enamel, followed by gluing veneers to special composite compounds.

This was a revolution in dentistry. Hollywood veneers are no longer the prerogative of stars.

Technology is constantly improving. Today, lumineers are durable but extremely thin (no more than 0.3 mm thick) porcelain plates that are made individually for each patient. They are installed in the dental office during one visit to the clinic and hide the gray color of tooth enamel and its unevenness. Hollywood veneers can cope with fluorosis, close unsightly interdental spaces and cracked tooth surfaces.

You can install ultra-thin veneers without grinding your teeth in Moscow. You do not need to travel to the USA and pay for additional flights and accommodation.

Classification

All Cerec veneers are divided into three groups:

Composite.
Ceramic.
Hollywood laminates.

The section is made according to functional features.

Composite products are a rarely used type. This is due to the limited service life and minimal aesthetics of the line.

Ceramic models are made from zirconium dioxide and medical porcelain. They have a maximum strength coefficient, an attractive appearance that replicates the appearance of natural bone organs, a large palette of shades and a small thickness (up to 0.5 mm).

Hollywood laminates are the longed-for dream of many. Super thin (up to two tenths of a millimeter), with an unlimited service life, are made without grinding teeth and are even installed on artificial crowns.

These are exactly those unnaturally snow-white, perfectly straight teeth that we often see in the smiles of famous personalities on TV.

Modern Hollywood veneers

Today it is difficult to imagine famous people with yellow, uneven, chipped smiles. However, if you look at old, Soviet films, you can see that this is exactly what the teeth of cinema and theater idols looked like in those days. Nowadays, it has become possible to correct dental imperfections with the help of lumineers. The undeniable advantages of these magical plates include absolute naturalness: the teeth look “their own” due to the fact that porcelain extremely accurately imitates the shine and transparency of natural enamel.

Modern Hollywood veneers (Lumineers) are made of durable ceramics and are comparable in thickness to the latest generations of contact lenses. Such thin onlays do not require strong grinding of the vestibular surface of the teeth. All it takes is thorough hardware cleaning followed by application of an adhesive composition that ensures permanent attachment of the lumineers to the teeth. Moreover, the advantage of Hollywood veneers over conventional ones is the fact that lumineers can be easily removed if you want to return your teeth to their former appearance. Standard veneers, which require fairly strong preliminary grinding of the teeth, do not require such a reverse operation.

Installation

The installation and production of Cerec veneers is a one-time process; you may have to sit in the dental chair for half an hour longer than when treating regular caries, but the result will be a perfect fragment.

The essence of the procedure consists of the following stages:

First, the doctor prepares the tooth , that is, removes old fillings (which are at risk of falling out), cleans carious lesions, removes plaque and other additions unnecessary to the patient.
An anti-reflective spray is then applied to the repaired unit , and the remaining crown and adjacent fragments are scanned using an intraoral camera.
The scan results are transferred to a computer , where a bioengineering model of the future bone organ is created. A side photo is also taken to more accurately select the appearance of the product. At this time, the patient can rinse his mouth, participate in choosing a color and simply wait in a chair; the procedure is not long at all.
At the end of the modeling, a device for aesthetic ceramic restoration comes into operation ; it grinds the required shape from a porcelain block strictly according to the computer model. Manufacturing takes place within 10-15 minutes.
After production, fitting takes place , if all is well, then the outer surface is additionally polished, a layer of glaze is applied, and the mold is fired in the oven. The manufacturing process is now complete.

The last stage will be fixation, that is, gluing the veneer to the tooth. The gluing is absolutely hermetically sealed, so there is no reason to worry about the formation of repeated caries or other possible troubles.

The installation procedure is complete. The patient can go home and fully use the new tooth without any restrictions.

Tips for those who want to get a Hollywood smile

Before installing lumineers, you will have to treat caries and get rid of periodontal disease. The oral cavity undergoes a professional cleaning procedure.
Porcelain Hollywood veneers are hard, but like any ceramics, they are fragile and will not survive extreme stress. If a person suffers from uncontrollable jaw clenching during sleep, is used to constantly clenching his teeth, or is involved in contact sports where facial injuries are possible, installing lumineers looks like a waste of money. Also, Hollywood extensions will not tolerate the bad habits of biting threads with their teeth or gnawing on seeds and nuts.
Lumineers are susceptible to aggressive dyes. For example, sour citrus juices and sodas based on chemical pigments can cause staining of snow-white plates. Therefore, it is recommended that a person develop the healthy habit of rinsing his mouth with water after eating or brushing his teeth.
Hollywood veneers are glued to the vestibular side of the tooth - the one that is visible when you smile. But the cutting edge remains free. It occasionally happens that when the plate does not adhere tightly to the surface, bacteria penetrate into microscopic cracks and the destruction of the enamel begins. Therefore, the patient is required to undergo a professional oral sanitation procedure every six months.

Indications

Indications for installing Cerec veneers are not only aesthetic, but also medical:

yellow or gray “native” color of enamel;
deterioration of enamel color as a consequence of depulpation;
fluorosis changes;
non-carious destruction of hard tissues;
enamel erosion;
abnormal shapes of individual fragments, large distances between them, chipped surfaces, twisted upper incisors;
outdated fillings with a strong difference in color from their own tissues;
demineralization of enamel after wearing braces or other orthodontic treatment.

Such a diverse list of indications makes the use of veneers very attractive, especially since there are no restrictions on the choice of color and tone.

German ceramic factory blocks are produced across the entire range from brown to snow-white, which does not in any way affect their high strength.

Cost of lumineers

The price of a Hollywood smile is steep. This is explained by the peculiarities of the process of making Hollywood dental veneers and the uniqueness of the technology. The cost of a veneer depends on the level of the clinic and the professionalism of the dentist, but cannot be lower than 30,000 rubles per unit.

However, Hollywood veneers are already ready to replace other methods of restoring a beautiful smile. For example, there are dental composites that are of equal quality but inexpensive. With the speed of development of the latest technologies and the proportional reduction in the cost of materials and equipment, anyone will soon be able to amaze those around them with a snow-white Hollywood smile.

Recovery and rehabilitation period

You should not eat until the anesthesia wears off after the veneers are installed. Don't bite or chew anything. Also, after the procedure, a combination of taking hot and cold together is not recommended.

You should definitely come for a preventive examination. Your doctor should schedule a date for you to check that your teeth are aligned correctly.

If you have problems such as bruxism or malocclusion, you should wear special protective mouth guards. Also, do not neglect preventive examinations. Another important point is that after installing veneers, you should periodically perform oral hygiene (2 times a day or after each meal).

Your teeth will definitely impress!

Have you ever noticed that almost all models and artists have very smooth, white, even and beautiful teeth? If so, then they probably suspected that such teeth were not given to all of them by nature - they made them. But how? It's actually quite simple.

There is a dental procedure that can make any dark or uneven teeth brighter and more beautiful. We are talking about ceramic veneers, which today are increasingly being installed not only by celebrities, but also by ordinary people.

Service life, warranty

On average, the service life of composite veneers is 2-5 years, and there is the possibility of their subsequent renewal by polishing. Ceramic plates have been successfully worn for 10 to 20 years, and many patients claim that they continue to use them beyond the expiration date.

Sometimes veneers are changed only because they are tired of the snow-white color, which was in fashion some time ago. Today, most men and women prefer to less clearly show others that their beautiful smile and real, not artificial, teeth are just a good result of the dentist’s work.
