Release Body: Hollywood A-Lister's Still Need a Little Help from
Their Neighborhood Cosmetic Dentists
With
so much film, media, and magazine exposure these days, Hollywood
celebrities are zero-ing in on making every aspect of their physical
exterior an image of perfection. Their smiles are certainly no
exception!
Advances
in technology over the past years have allowed dentists to create
flawless grins for people, while still looking and feeling natural.
These celebrity smiles can range from a few thousand dollars for
a minor adjustment, to the extreme makeover cases of $50,000 or more for their toothy
treasures.
And
while some celebrities use their signature snaggle-teeth to their
advantage, in most cases their new cosmetic
dental work is a vast improvement as they jolt into super
stardom. Here are a few examples of some celebrities that had
smile makeovers:
(1)
Elliot Yamin
Smile
Makeover Method: Porcelain Veneers
This
past American Idol contestant was once known for two things. An
amazing voice, and terrible teeth. Now, with the help of cosmetic
dentistry and over $50,000 in porcelain veneers, his career has soared into an oblivion
of success. Now, when we see him in his videos and performances,
his fabulous voice is accompanied by a celebrity smile.

Miley Cyrus
Smile
Makeover Method: Porcelain Veneers
This
"Hannah Montana" superstar is idolized by kids and their parents
alike. She is considered the next generation of media moguls that
is taking our world by storm. Once she began gaining popularity
in her show and concerts, she opted to make the switch to a more
sightly smile. She is believed to have gotten veneers and a surgery
to elongate the teeth and fix the "gummy smile" look.

George Clooney
Smile
Makeover Method: Porcelain Veneers, Crowns, and Crown Lengthening
This
self-proclaimed lifelong bachelor once made a joke about getting
surgery done on his eyes to make him look younger. It seems like
his teeth were a more immediate concern for both aesthetic and
physical reasons. As quoted by Dr. Abenaim (starmagazine.com),
he believes that Clooney was a tooth grinder which was one cause for the actor to seek a
cosmetic change. Aside from the veneers, the Dr. also suggests
that Clooney had crown lengthening surgery, a surgical procedure done that
brings the gumline up to expose more teeth. This work is estimated
at anywhere from $30,000-35,000. Now we love you even more Georgie!

Keith Urban
Smile
Makeover Method: Porcelain Veneers
Before
his days of super stardom and being the arm candy for gorgeous
wife Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban's teeth were far from perfect.
Doctor's believe that Urban had porcelain veneers placed over his choppers to create a far
more pleasing effect. He had what dentist's refer to a diastema, or large space between his teeth. While the veneers
have improved his look, his dentist did a good job creating a
natural look and left a little signature gap in the front.

Katherine Heigl
Smile
Makeover Method: Invisalign®
When
it came to looking beautiful for her on screen wedding in 27 Dresses,
Katherine Heigl didn't need to do much. For her own wedding, Heigl
complained that she did not want to wed with crooked teeth. She decided to opt for Invisalign, a series of clear, removable aligners that are
used as an alternative to traditional metal braces. As of April
2008, 730,000 patients have completed, or are currently in Invisalign
treatment.
