Overview
What to know about Hollywood Smile
The term is popular in the Gulf for a smile makeover that treats many front teeth at once, typically 16 to 20 veneers or crowns. Done well, it looks natural. Done in a rush, it can look bulky or unnaturally white.
Because it is a large, mostly irreversible change, the planning stage is the treatment. A good clinic will check gums and bite, may suggest whitening or orthodontics first, and will let you test the shape with a mock-up.
Ask to see before-and-after photos of the dentist's own cases, and look at the proposed shade in daylight as well as under clinic lights.

Who it suits
Often a good fit
- People with several worn, chipped or discoloured front teeth
- Patients who want a co-ordinated change rather than treating teeth one at a time
May need another option first
- Healthy teeth that only need whitening or minor bonding
- Untreated gum disease, decay or heavy grinding

FAQ
Common questions
Is a Hollywood smile permanent?
It is long-lasting but not permanent. Porcelain veneers and crowns generally need replacing after 10 to 15 years, and the underlying teeth will always need covering.
Will it look fake?
Not if the shade, length and shape are matched to your face. Ask for a mock-up and choose a shade that looks natural in daylight.
