Hollywood Smile

What is a Hollywood Smile?

This treatment aims to achieve an impressive smile, like that of Hollywood stars and so is called the Hollywood Smile.

This method is where the lips, teeth and gums are made to look flawless together as a whole. The treatment is performed with a fully personalised design for long-lasting, effective and natural-looking results. Before the treatment, any missing teeth, crowding, gum disease and similar oral problems are treated. Any dental infection in the mouth carries to the teeth and must be treated first.

Treatments Performed for Hollywood Smile

Missing teeth are compensates with implant or bridge treatment depending on the intraoral condition.

With porcelain or zirconium crowns/veneers, the outer surfaces of the teeth are minimally grinded to allow the new crown/veneer is placed.

Thanks to this process discolouration and staining on the teeth are removed.

With gingival aesthetics, it is ensured that the gums are sound and compatible with the new teeth.

What Materials Are Used in Hollywood Smile Treatment?

(Lamimated) Veneers

The thickness of vaneer varies between 0.3 mm and 0.8 mm. Porcelain veneers are placed on the anterior surface of the tooth and provide an appearance similar to natural teeth with their structure. Depending on the veneer thickness, there is also the possibility that grinding preparation of the teeth is not needed while performing veneers.

Crowns

The thickness varies between 0.5 mm and 1.8 mm. Because crowns are relatively thick, they are placed by grinding the enamel. The most preferred crowns are zirconium crowns, as they are most durable and provide natural results thanks to their light transmitting properties and are durable and strong, providing natural results. 

E-Max

E-Max is a special ceramic that offers patients realistic, natural-looking smiles that are strong and aesthetically pleasing, It consists entirely of ceramic and does not contain metal. With this feature, it has a high light transmittance in the natural tooth appearance. There is grey metal alloy in the infrastructure of porcelain crown/bridge prosthesis, applied in the routine. The metal crowns in the infrastructure reduce the light transmittance and cause a matte appearance. E-Max crowns; are transparent and highly resistant to breakage and bending. In addition to its aesthetic appearance, it can be applied with less grinding thanks to its very thin application, so do it not cause sensitivity problems in the teeth. Although it is performed with a thin material, they are extremely durable.

Monolithic Zirconium

Monolithic zirconium; Unlike classical zirconium crown methods, it is performed without placing porcelain on the zirconium. With the colouring and make-up of zirconium, crowns with a very aesthetic appearance and high fracture resistance are obtained. Treatments performed with monolithic zirconium are completed in a much shorter time frame compared to alternative methods available. 

Hollywood Smile Treatment Procedure

The last step of the Hollywood Smile treatment is the proper placement of the designed crown/veneer on to the teeth. Before this step, it is necessary to make sure that there is a healthy tooth structure to use. If there is an infection, gum disease or cavities before the crown/veneer is placed, must be properly treated. After the treatments are performed, the dentist will progress to a mould preparation process by taking measurements of the teeth and deciding together with the patient to choose the appropriate crown/veneer. In the last step, the crowns/veneers prepared by the dentist are placed on the teeth. The Hollywood smile treatment procedure usually takes 3-5 days.

What is the Process After Hollywood Smile Treatment?

After the Hollywood smile treatment, people should take care of the crowns/veneers as they do to their natural teeth. Teeth should be brushed and flossed twice a day. Limiting the consumption of caffeine and smoking products, will help crowns/veneers retain their shine for a long time to come. With good care, the life of the Hollywood Smile Treatment is approximately 15-20 years.
