By enhancing the natural beauty and expression of the face, Hollywood Smile can meet the needs of those seeking a transformation for misaligned or discolored teeth.
More and more people are asking for the Hollywood Smile, and Lumineers veneers are often the most popular choices. People can explore the best way to enhance their beauty and smiles through cosmetic and facial dentistry options.
How can I get a Hollywood smile?
The first step is to contact the dentist for an assessment of your oral health and your ability to adopt a Hollywood smile.
Problems such as a severe malocclusion, irregular bite, and teeth grinding may require orthodontic treatment first.
In some cases, patients may benefit from teeth whitening and an invisible treatment for aligning their teeth.
Before any cosmetic dentistry treatment, the teeth must be cleaned and free from any infection.
Patients with tooth decay and gum disease may need appropriate treatment first to ensure their teeth are healthy before veneers are fitted. Teeth with stains or discoloration can also be masked with porcelain veneers, as can chipped or cracked teeth.
Preparation of teeth
Once you have decided on the characteristics and facets of your smile, tooth preparation begins during the fabrication of your porcelain veneers.
The preparation of the teeth involves whitening the teeth if necessary, so that they all match the shade of the selected veneer. Minimal tooth preparation, such as removal of tooth tissue, is also necessary, but the dentist will make sure that the experience is as painless as possible.
Temporary veneers and veneers
The temporary veneers are adjusted to match the design of the new smile, allowing patients to feel and see what to expect from their new Hollywood Smile veneers.
Adjusting facets for a Hollywood smile
If you wish to use the porcelain veneers of your choice, highly trained technicians will create custom porcelain veneers within a week. You will be notified as soon as they are ready and prompted to set up for an adjustment.
The veneers are bonded to the front surface of the teeth with dental cement resin, for a secure and comfortable fit. When you leave the firm, you will have a Hollywood smile that you can show the world.
Patients are invited to return for a follow-up visit within a week to ten days, in order to monitor oral health, bite function and ensure satisfaction with the new facets.
How do I take care of my Hollywood smile?
Taking care of your Hollywood smile involves the usual dental hygiene routine.
Regular visits to the dentist every six months should also be maintained.
The condition of the dental veneers will be assessed annually to ensure their condition.
Care should be taken when biting solid and hard foods and when participating in contact sports.
Glued veneers, while secure, are not as strong as the structure of your natural tooth. The clinician may recommend wearing protection at night to protect the veneers from the risk of teeth grinding.
