For my first post, lets take a look at some really bad looking smile makeovers. I paused my TV during a movie with Amanda Peet on some celebrity smiles showing some bad celebrity smile makeovers and bulky fake looking porcelain veneers and crowns. Lets get real for a second, if you are a movie star, why can you not get a good looking smile makeover? I see the trend for smile makeovers to look more natural and less, well, like a Hollywood smile. It used to be that a Hollywood smile was like a "Chicklet", bulky opaque white teeth that didn't look like beautiful teeth, but like piano keys. It looked good from far, but far from good. It gives cosmetic dentistry a bad rap. Today the trend is to whiten teeth as much as possible, but still look like teeth. The goal should be to make it too hard to tell if a person has porcelain veneers. It should look like a person whitened their teeth with teeth whiteners.
Here is the beautiful Amanda Peet. Sorry Amanda, but why does she have monster teeth? In what part of the world is it OK to go to a dentist and get teeth that look like piano keys? This is the old way that used to be acceptable for porcelain crowns and veneers. It is tough to find a good cosmetic dentist to do natural looking porcelain veneers, but if you are a movie star it should be a piece of cake. Here is a hint to all of the move stars out there thinking about a smile makeover...the best cosmetic dentists are actually not in Hollywood and New York City! It even looks like one of the veneers fell off to the right of the front tooth, there is no way that looks so bad on purpose.
