Cosmetic dentistry Hollywood smile
stages of getting a Hollywood smile
After a comprehensive dental examination and making sure that no additional treatment is needed, it is possible to start preparing the “Hollywood Smile” exclusively for the patient’s features.
The dentist’s cosmetic work begins with the first step which is to take the so-called “dental impression”, which is a paste-like substance that takes the shape of teeth completely when the patient bites on it. Later, the doctor shows the patient several shades of white to choose what suits him so that the color of his smile and his new teeth.
The laboratory then prepares the dental cosmetic cover, which is divided into many types that differ in terms of the main material of manufacture, the most important of which are:
Veneers: It is the most used material in dental clinics, where the application of veneers to (trimming) a very thin layer of the tooth’s enamel, and then stick the veneers on it to settle permanently. Usually the patient is under the influence of local anesthesia during the process of tooth flossing so that he does not feel any pain.
This technique is a good option to cover the imperfections caused by staining or eroding the teeth, as it gives the person a very natural look.
Empress: It is the oldest and cheapest type of contact lens. It is usually used for internal teeth, but its use has declined significantly thanks to the availability of newer and better alternatives. However, they are still suitable for those who cannot afford the other types.
Lemonade: similar to veneer, but it does not require any dental filing.
Moving Hollywood Smile:
This smile comes in the form of an integrated mold made of “zircon”, which can be installed during occasions or during work periods and easily removed for eating or at the end of the day. This mold is usually 60 to 70% identical to the shape of natural teeth, which makes it a good choice for those who cannot afford the cost of permanent contact lenses or for those who do not want to change the shape of their original teeth.
