What is a Hollywood Smile?

Hollywood Smile is an umbrella term for aesthetic dental treatments that together create a bright, symmetrical and proportionate smile. Treatment may include:

- Teeth whitening - to brighten discolored teeth
- Scale facades - to correct shape, color or unevenness
- Orthodontics - to straighten crowded or crooked teeth
-Dental implant - to replace missing teeth and create an even row of teeth
- Crowns - to repair and strengthen damaged teeth

Treatment is individually tailored to your oral health, goals and anatomy. A full analysis is always done before starting treatment.

Who can get a Hollywood Smile?

Hollywood Smile is suitable for those who want to improve the appearance of their teeth. It may be relevant if you have:

- Discolored or yellowed teeth
- Stains, cracks or wear
- Crooked or unevenly placed teeth
- Missing teeth
- Old repairs that affect the overall impression

For treatment to be possible, teeth and gums need to be healthy. Any cavities or inflammation are treated first. In some cases, X-rays or digital planning are also required for aesthetic procedures.

How is the treatment carried out?

The dentist checks that your mouth is healthy. If caries or gingivitis is present, this is treated before cosmetic procedures.

- Teeth whitening - in-clinic bleaching or home bleaching with splints
- Orthodontics - for example with Invisalign (clear aligners)
- Shell facades - in porcelain or composite to even out color and shape
- Crowns - in case of major damage or discoloration

- Dental implant - to replace lost teeth

Treatment can last from a few weeks to several months depending on the extent.

Does it hurt?
Most treatments are painless. Anesthesia is used if necessary. Some soreness may occur afterwards, especially with implants or regulation.

How long does it take to get a Hollywood Smile?
It varies. A simple treatment may be quick, while a combination of implants, facades and regulation may take several months.

Can I combine veneers with teeth whitening?
Yes, they are. Often teeth are whitened first so that the veneers can be matched to the new shade.
