A Hollywood smile is a type of smile in which all of the teeth in a person’s mouth are uniformly white and straight, giving the appearance of a perfect, movie star-like smile. This is often achieved through a combination of cosmetic dentistry procedures, such as teeth whitening, veneers, and braces.

So What Is

Hollywood Smile is a complete redesign of your smile, that is, a complete prosthetics of both jaws with caps, veneers and, often, implants. The Hollywood smile involves placing dental crowns on all teeth, or at least on all visible teeth on both jaws, that is, up to and including the premolars.

3 Signs of a Perfect Hollywood Smile:

1. According to the principle of the golden ratio, the lines visually drawn through the corners of the eyes and lips should be parallel.
2. An imaginary vertical line from the middle of the forehead to the chin should divide the face and smile exactly in half.
3. In this case, the teeth from the middle to the edges should be proportionally reduced.

Types and Methods

Creating a smile worthy of Hollywood involves a whole range of different manipulations, depending on the testimony. If the teeth are naturally even and of optimal shape, then whitening and regular professional oral hygiene will be enough. Complex cases usually require long-term treatment and expensive dental restorations.

The path to the perfect Hollywood smile:

So how do you make a Hollywood smile? In order for a smile to become perfect, existing aesthetic problems must be eliminated. They can be minor, like yellow teeth, or serious, like a malocclusion or gummy smile. However, first of all, the teeth must be healthy. Therefore, before aesthetic treatment, it is important to sanitize the oral cavity, curing caries and eliminating problems with the gums.

Absence of teeth – Only implantation can give a high aesthetic result of the restoration of a missing tooth. The procedure does not affect the teeth adjacent to the defect and allows you to completely restore the aesthetics, as well as the function of the lost unit.

Improper bite – Correct closing of teeth is not only a beautiful smile, but also the health of the oral cavity and the body as a whole. The consequences of occlusion abnormalities are very serious, ranging from diction disorders and facial asymmetries to headaches and gastrointestinal problems. When the jaw is fully formed, it is not possible to eliminate the anomaly without orthognathic surgery in all cases. Nevertheless, by wearing braces, you can almost always make your teeth even at the level of the dentition.

Yellowness – Teeth whitening is one of the most popular aesthetic procedures in the USA, where they know the value of a Hollywood smile. Only professional teeth whitening techniques can be effective. They don’t just remove plaque like various home remedies and whitening pastes, but they actually whiten dental tissue.

Teeth that are too large or small – Veneers (thin strips attached to the front of the teeth) can transform a smile beyond recognition. The problem with the color of the teeth is also easily solved by veneering. However, the main task of veneers is to adjust the shape and size of the teeth. With the help of ceramic plates, too large gaps between the teeth are eliminated and their incorrect position is corrected.

Gum Smile – For a perfect smile, your gums should be no more than 2 millimeters bare. If the soft tissues are more exposed, then such a smile is called “gingival”.
Gingival grafting is often sufficient. This is a surgical procedure in which soft tissues are “trimmed”, exposing the coronal part of the tooth.

Fillings on the front teeth – Extensive fillings on the front teeth – an indication for the placement of dental crowns. In all other cases, restoration with composite materials or the installation of veneers can be dispensed with. The latter is the preferred solution, since veneering allows you to achieve the most aesthetic result.

Anterior tooth chipping – Eating very hard food or injury from a blow to the front teeth can cause a piece of a tooth to chip off. In order to restore a beautiful, harmonious look to a smile, the dentist conducts an aesthetic restoration – builds up a chipped piece of a tooth with the help of a composite material and restores the ideal shape of the tooth.

FAQ

History

The term “Hollywood smile” appeared in the United States in the 30s of the last century thanks to the French dentist Charles Pinkus. It was he who, realizing not only the medical, but also the aesthetic importance of white-toothed smiles, especially for Hollywood actors invented the Hollywood Laminates technology, in which thin onlays made of ceramics were attached to the surface of the teeth by means of a special powder, which was then used to fix dentures. … Of course, the constructions of that time were far from modern veneers, and they often fell away, so they were used only during filming, when the actors most needed a beautiful smile.

Gradually, almost the entire dental industry began to work towards this goal, and in the 60s the concept of aesthetic dentistry was born, which was developed in the USA, Japan, Great Britain, Germany and France.
