Who Do Celebrities Trust With Their Teeth?
s t For an actor, actress, or model, a perfect smile can make or break their career. Teeth are one of the first things we notice when we see a new face, and how white, straight, and clean they are can go a long way toward making a positive first impression. In industries where first impressions mean the difference between success and failure, teeth — and by extension, good genes or great dental work — mean everything. Some publications, like SELF magazine, have speculated that veneers are the secret behind the blindingly white smiles of many celebrities. The thin porcelain shells are multi-purpose solutions: They can conceal gaps, lengthen teeth, and hide crooked smiles. It’s a permanent process that involves bonding the veneer directly to the tooth, and it takes just two weeks to complete, allowing the stars
to skip over the awkward, infamously long process of straightening their teeth with braces.
Some celebrities, like NeNe Leakes of “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” model Chrissy Teigen, and “Scrubs” actor Donald Faison have
admitted to having veneers, but others keep their cosmetic changes on the down-low. Still, if you’re interested in Hollywood culture, you have to wonder: Who do celebrities trust with their pearly whites? The answer for many is Beverly Hills dentist Kevin B. Sands, the self-proclaimed “dentist to the stars.” His website is filled with in-office photographs of himself posing with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Sofia Richie, Tyga, Robert Gronkowski, Hailey Baldwin, Kendall Jenner, Iggy Azalea, Emma Stone, Justin Bieber, Robert Downey Jr., and Miley Cyrus. Porcelain veneers, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, and sedation dentistry all rank among his specialties, and Dr. Sands has even started offering his services in Dubai to appease his star-studded clientele. If you’re thinking of seeking out a celebrity dentist for a smile makeover to follow in the footsteps of your favorite star, consider this: Veneers cost anywhere from $1,500–$2,500 per tooth. Braces, which cost $3,000–$10,000 per set, might be the more appealing option after all.
against your gums to avoid pain, abrasion, and damage. Instead, glide the floss gently through your teeth. If your gums are bleeding, there may be a problem with your tools. To Fluoride or Not to Fluoride? What you use on your tools can be just as important as the tools themselves. Opt for toothpaste with fluoride to prevent tooth rot and cavities, but if you choose not to use fluoride, look for toothpaste with a high concentration of xylitol. This additive can protect the mouth from tooth decay. If you have temperature-sensitivity issues, choose a sensitivity-based toothpaste to actively fight it. There are even options for patients who suffer from dry mouth, those who struggle to maintain oral health, cancer patients, and patients with special needs. As for your kiddos, children’s toothpaste is great for those who struggle with spitting, but once your child has the brushing routine down, they can begin to use higher-strength adult toothpaste. When it comes to your oral health, finding what is going to work best for you and your family is the key to success.

With major advancements in the oral health industry, patients have more options than ever. But you don’t have to break the bank to keep your chompers healthy and clean. Follow these tips for better at-home oral health care. Whitening Products The dental health industry has made loads of dollars whitening teeth, but some products cause more harm than good. Avoid whitening toothpastes or strips that may contain silica particles that remove protective tooth layers along with the stain. These products are not customized like the whitening regimens at the dentist, so the products can be too harsh. Instead, choose a customized plan that we create for you! Your teeth will be better protected and pearly white. The Perfect Tools With options ranging from hard to ultra-soft bristles, many patients believe they need to use a toothbrush that is specialized for their needs. Instead, we almost always advise choosing toothbrushes with ultra-soft bristles. Hard bristles can destroy your gums and cause irreversible damage. In that same vein, be very careful not to use a toothpick or wedge floss
