The Perfect Way to Have the Perfect Smile

Ever dreamt of having pearly, white teeth? Well, with the advent of modern cosmetic dentistry, having that perfect smile is not far from reality. This field of dentistry primarily aims to improve dental health including function and aesthetics. A dentist specializing in this field would probably offer you treatments like teeth whitening, veneers and tooth reshaping.

If you have an amalgam filling (a black-colored filling on your tooth), or a gold crown you can easily have these replaced using a tooth-colored filling. This is not a difficult treatment nowadays and it can be done in one seating! Yes! You do not need to wait for ages and ages just to have a filling replaced.

Together with the technological advancements in dentistry is the progress in dental material. Before, dental materials are very limited. Today, more advanced dental materials are available so much so that treatments can be done in a matter of minutes with astounding results.

Among the very popular dental treatments is cosmetic dentistry veneers. To keep everything simple, what dentists do is they grind off a very thin layer of enamel (the outermost, hard covering of our teeth) on your teeth and add a thin layer of tooth-colored (usually shades lighter than your teeth's original color) material on your teeth. The treatment is relatively simple. However, treatments like these are not very cheap.

Hollywood Celebrities and Bad Teeth (and Bad Smile)

Celebrities are good-looking; there is no doubt about that - and they have to be. However, they are not immune to dental imperfections. Crooked teeth, pointy fangs, or yellowish teeth are common dental problems to most hot celebs. Without Teeth whitening and other revolutionary dental treatments, where will these actors be today?

The following is a list of Hollywood stars, both famous and the no-so-famous stars who have or have had (in the past) bad teeth:
1.Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise is no doubt one hot hollywood hunk. But did you ever notice that he had crooked teeth before? The picture was taken when he was still a child (obviously) and you can easily spot how mal-aligned his teeth were before. If you look even closer, you can see that his jaw is a little crooked as well.

2.Keanu Reeves

Believe it or not, this photo was taken just recently. The star of the box-office hit The Matrix used to be as hot as Tom Cruise before. But what happened to him now? Not only does he has bad, crooked teeth, but he also looks twice his age.

We'd be really glad if he visits his dentist A.S.A.P! I mean, with the money he has, I think he can afford at least a teeth whitening treatment! Unless he does this, we will really miss his glory days!

3. Morgan Freeman

The star who always plays God has a lot going on with his teeth. As you can see clearly, his teeth are stained and they are crooked as well. Teeth whitening treatment and dental veneers are two very easy dental operations that can be done in a matter of one visit. This could really help Morgan Freeman perfect his smile!


There you have it. 3 of Hollywood's bad teeth. Watch out for more Hollywood Dental Stuffs!
