3 steps to a stunning "Hollywood smile"

One of the most attractive features of a person is their smile. In today’s modern world, we all want to achieve a perfect white “Hollywood smile” that rarely leaves anyone indifferent.

For this reason, a special trend has developed in cosmetic dentistry that includes a series of aesthetic procedures for a “Hollywood smile” – straight, pearly white and proportional teeth that perfectly match the symmetry of the face and provide a beautiful, seductive smile that many Hollywood movie stars are known for.

Although tooth color is genetically determined, it’s no secret that teeth naturally darken with age. Additionally, over time, our eating habits and lifestyle can affect our teeth, and regular brushing is not enough to achieve the desired appearance of our teeth.

Coffee, colored drinks, cigarettes, red wine, etc. contribute to our teeth becoming darker and losing their aesthetic appearance.

The foundation of a beautiful smile is certainly oral health, which is achieved through regular oral hygiene (brushing your teeth and regular check-ups).

However, even the healthiest teeth do not have to be beautifully shaped, and if we want to achieve a “Hollywood smile”, cosmetic dentistry plays a major role.

Whether it’s just whitening or using ceramic veneers and crowns, we can bring your smile to perfect symmetry.

Although it is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, cosmetic dentistry uses certain parameters taking into account individual facial features and dental characteristics to shape the natural look and smile you dream of.

Depending on individual desires and needs, there are 3 steps that can completely transform your smile.

The first step is scaling and sandblasting , and for those who only want to change the color of their teeth, there is the Zoom teeth whitening method .

For minor irregularities and dissymmetry of teeth, veneers are the third step towards a beautiful “Hollywood smile”.

If you want complete dental reconstruction, there is a multidisciplinary approach that unites many dental branches to provide complete health and the desired irresistible smile. Here are three steps to the perfect Hollywood smile:

1. Descaling and sandblasting

Before any significant cosmetic procedures, it is necessary to ensure that the teeth and gums are healthy, and all damage (caries, exposed necks, etc.) is repaired.

The first step towards a beautiful smile is to remove plaque (soft and hard) and pigmentation from the surface of the teeth through professional cleaning, which includes scaling and sandblasting.

After such a procedure, you will notice a change in the appearance of your teeth, as the natural color will come to the fore. If you want to lighten your teeth a few shades more, we recommend teeth whitening, either alone or in combination with porcelain veneers.

2. Zoom teeth whitening

The cause of tooth discoloration can be found in genetic and degenerative changes, antibiotics, aging, as well as frequent consumption of colored foods and drinks, and dietary supplements. The enamel is responsible for the white shine of teeth, and with wear it becomes thinner, which is why the darker color of the dentin comes to the fore.

In addition to laser teeth whitening, our dentists also use Zoom WhiteSpeed ​​teeth whitening, which is the most sought-after and best-known teeth whitening system in the USA.

Zoom WhiteSpeed ​​is an innovative and effective professional teeth whitening system from Dutch manufacturer Philips that uses the most advanced LED light technology.

The Zoom lamp emits an optimal level of light with a significantly higher intensity level than other LED lamps on the market. The light activates the photocatalyst within the Zoom Chairside Gel which accelerates and enhances whitening results, enabling excellent results.

The intensity can be adjusted to each person, allowing for a more comfortable treatment and greater satisfaction with the results. Zoom teeth whitening is the perfect way to restore the natural whiteness of your teeth.

The active ingredient in Zoom whitening gel is hydrogen peroxide, which has natural whitening properties and is intensified by light.

The Zoom lamp activates hydrogen peroxide with its specific light and helps it fill the surface of the tooth, after which pure oxygen enters the enamel and dentin and whitens the stained area, leaving the tooth structure unchanged.

The treatment takes 45 minutes after tooth preparation. Zoom can whiten teeth up to 6 shades, and the teeth whitening effects can last up to three years. However, this will vary from person to person.

3. Ceramic veneers (Veneers)

One of the most common ways to improve a smile in modern cosmetic dentistry is achieved with porcelain veneers.

These are extremely thin ceramic shells (Veneers) that are placed on the front surface of the teeth, which can correct numerous aesthetic problems such as reducing the gap between teeth, repairing discolored teeth, cracked enamel, and other aesthetic corrections.

If you want a long-term solution, then these prosthetic replacements represent the pinnacle of cosmetic dentistry for achieving optimally beautiful teeth.

A beautiful and natural appearance is ensured due to the visual properties of porcelain, which imitates the enamel of natural teeth and reflects light in the same way, which is why after the placement of veneers and crowns, our teeth have a natural-like shine. The result of veneer and crown therapy is a beautiful natural smile that, with proper care, lasts over 10 years.

Although the “Hollywood smile” is known for its perfect symmetry and evenness of teeth, for a natural look, asymmetry is intentionally introduced to make the teeth appear authentic. Perfect symmetry is not as desirable as people think, because irregularities create an individual impression that is not artificial.

At our Polyclinic, a team of dental experts works on the design and oral reconstruction of your smile to ensure top-notch health and beautiful appearance of your teeth.

During prosthetic therapy, clients, in collaboration with our prosthodontists, participate in creating their own ideal smile.

With this approach, we enable them to clearly express their wishes and expectations, better visualize the end result, and together with our team, create an ideal natural smile that will result in their ultimate and long-term satisfaction.

If you want to achieve a “Hollywood smile” and ensure beautifully straight and beautiful teeth, we invite you to consult with our dental doctors who will conduct a detailed examination of your oral health and recommend the best combination of therapy and procedures for a beautiful smile.
