How do celebrities get their teeth so white?

You must have encountered celebrities flashing their bright white smiles on the red carpet, on social media profiles, or even in paparazzi photos. The perfectly aligned pearly whites of superstars and influencers are, undoubtedly, a treat to the eyes. Aspiring to have teeth that look as good as a Hollywood celeb may be a difficult feat to achieve. But, the pressing question is what the secret of their unmatchable dental aesthetics is? Let us try and find out.

Celebrity-approved methods for whiter teeth

Veneers are the most common method of achieving perfect teeth and are widely used in Hollywood circles. Their popularity skyrocketed during the 1980s and 1990s and deflated in the 2000s. Well, veneers are back again and thriving, with more and more celebrities opting for a custom fit. Well, you may be wondering what veneers are? They are thin porcelain overlays that sit on top of the teeth. Veneers are customized to match a person’s teeth size, shape, and shade. Previously, a process called prepping was associated with veneers. Prepping implies shaving off a tiny part of the natural enamel for the veneers to match a person’s set of teeth immaculately. But, with advancements in cosmetic dentistry, no-prep veneers have been developed that are thinner and can sit on top of unshaved enamel. The release of no-prep veneers has galvanized the increasing popularity of this miraculous technique among celebrities and influencers.

One can select the tint of white they prefer in their veneers. Despite being thin, they are solid and durable. Furthermore, if you want to rekindle your old teeth, the no-prep, hi-tech veneers can also be removed easily, and there is no damage to your precious enamel, as well. The interior of the veneers is created from a mold of your teeth. Hence, they have a perfect fit and also strengthen teeth. For minor dental issues like discoloration, chipped tooth, and slight imperfections, veneers are the perfect solution.

Another prevalent trend among celebrities is to whiten their teeth and procure that flawless smile. Although chipped, broken, and cracked teeth need to be repaired and replaced, relatively aligned teeth can be polished and made to look impeccable through professional whitening. However, it is noteworthy that professional whitening is a temporary solution, and sessions need to be repeated every twice or thrice a year.

How can you get whiter teeth?

Sparkly, white, and aligned teeth are a dream comes true for many. One of the easiest to achieve impeccable teeth is by maintaining an appropriate dental hygiene regimen. Regular brushing and flossing are mandatory steps to attain that ‘Hollywood smile.’ Moreover, you can add some extra steps like mouth rinses and oil pulling for the additional glow and sparkle. Using mildly abrasive toothpaste with ingredients like charcoal and baking may help in getting rid of extrinsic teeth stains. If you want to get veneers, consult your dentist and follow their expert advice. The same goes for professional whitening as well.
