What is The Hollywood Smile Procedure?
Most patients cannot achieve Hollywood Smile in just one session; in fact, there is no set procedure that dental professionals follow for all patients. In this way, instead of adopting a uniform approach, the Hollywood Smile procedure is designed for each patient individually. There are various possible treatments that you could get for a Hollywood smile. These are the most common procedures in dental clinics.
Teeth Whitening
White teeth are probably the first thing that comes to mind when we think of the Hollywood smile. No wonder that teeth whitening is one of the most popular procedure in dental clinics.
Dental Implants
If you have missing teeth that prevent you from smiling like a Hollywood star, you might need more advanced solutions. Dental implants are one of the most functional and aesthetic options for replacing your missing teeth. You can have stronger and more beautiful teeth at the end of the procedure. In addition, the dental bridge procedure is also widely applied in clinics. The dental bridge is a convenient way to bridge the 1-2 tooth gap between two healthy teeth.
Crowns
Crowns are used for dental restoration by covering them with a cap. It is a convenient and efficient way, especially if you prefer high-quality products and get proper service. There are different types of crowns. You can find porcelain, Zirconia, metal, or porcelain fused metal crowns

To get a perfect Hollywood Smile, you need to have ideal teeth alignment. Depending on your case, your dentist may prescribe retainers, braces to give your teeth proper alignment and bite correction. Orthodontic treatments generally take longer to see effects. Also, if you need orthodontic treatment, you should do it before other short-term treatments.

The steps of the process (Hollywood smile):
Step 1 - Consultation and Smile Assessment
During your consultation and smile evaluation, our cosmetic dentists will examine your teeth to establish if porcelain veneers are the right choice for you and explain the full extent of the makeover procedure.
In this consultation, you will discuss the preferred shape, length, width and color of your new teeth. This is an opportunity for patients to establish desired outcomes and expectations in advance.
Our dentist will take impressions and photographs of the patient's mouth, which will be used to develop temporary veneers and preview the digital smile design of your new Hollywood makeover for the second appointment.
This is done to ensure that our new patients are 100% satisfied with their new smile before committing.
Step 2 - Preview and Apply the Digital Smile
We create a set of temporary veneers based on the initial consultation requirements, which are ready to be applied if the patient goes ahead with this design. The preview of the digital smile design is also shown to the patient.
Our cosmetic dentists will begin working on the patient's teeth, removing a very thin layer (half a millimeter) of tooth enamel to make room for temporary veneers. Depending on the patient, local anesthesia may be used.
Once the removal process is complete, a new mold will be taken of your teeth and sent to our in-house lab where permanent porcelain veneers are designed and created.
Step 3 - Permanent Placement
On the third and final visit, your beautiful custom porcelain veneers are installed.
Our cosmetic dentist will place the veneers on your teeth for evaluation, and they may need to be cut or modified to ensure the perfect fit.
Once your veneers fit snugly, your teeth will be cleaned and polished and will have the etching to adhere to the cement that will permanently bond your veneers in place.
A high quality dental cement is applied to each veneer and then placed on your teeth. Once in position, our cosmetic dentist will use a special light on each veneer to harden the dental cement.
Once all of your veneers are installed, the excess dental cement will be removed, your bite assessed and you now have your very own Hollywood smile!
Step 4 - Follow-up
A few weeks after your procedure, a follow-up appointment is needed to make sure everything is perfect. We will check the patient's mouth, gums and porcelain veneers to see how everything is placed and responding to each other. Hopefully, you've officially had your "Hollywood" makeover
