The Hollywood Smile Can Be Achieved By Everyone

By Andrea Costanides


People tend to be envious of models and other celebrities who have beautiful teeth. The Hollywood smile is not something that is out of the question for people who are not celebrities. There are a variety of procedures available to help improve and correct dental problems. An clean, healthy smile is as close as the local dental office.

Dentistry has seen many advances in the past several years. Adults that did not have braces as a teenager are still able to straighten their teeth with nearly invisible braces. Metal styles are still available though most people lean toward the clear look.

In addition to braces, cosmetic dentistry is also on the rise. This allows for chipped teeth and missing teeth to be repaired and replaced to that of a normal, healthy mouth. Cosmetic dentistry is usually offered in addition to traditional hygiene cleanings, extractions, fillings, and other services.

Equally as important as the surface of the teeth is the gum line. People who have receding gum lines may notice that their gums are no longer even from tooth to tooth. There are treatments available to stop the progression of further gum damage.

The surface of teeth can become discolored. This is a big issue with people everywhere. This is mainly caused by dietary habits and the inability to maintain routine dental check-ups for one reason or another. Companies that manufacture dental products have picked up on this complaint and have formulated toothpastes and mouthwashes to target this issue. These products can be found in drug stores and grocery stores nation-wide. Additionally, bleaching trays are also available in the hygiene section of many stores. However, these are not customized fit. One size fits most. The best way of acquiring appropriate bleaching trays is through a dentist who makes a mold of the patient's mouth.

Bonding is another option patients can take advantage of. Many people never did have paper white teeth. Their natural color, while still said to be white, is closer to off-white than snow white. Bonding can give people that otherwise unattainable white shade. Bonding is also helpful for people who have teeth that appear thin or slightly transparent.

Some people have excellent oral hygiene habits while others do not. Then there are those who make a good effort and due to physical health or exhaustion or any other number of reasons simply do not brush their teeth every night. This can lead to plaque build-up and over-time dulls an otherwise attractive smile.

The Hollywood smile can be had with appropriate dental care. As time progresses, advances will continue. This means an increasing amount of people will have traffic-stopping smiles.
