Many people are encouraged to have dental work after seeing the success of the latest treatments on celebrity smiles.

Celebrity magazines are always full of stories about celebrities and their latest cosmetic surgery procedures. Many younger stars don’t need the usual types of cosmetic treatments, such as face lifts or Botox, but cosmetic dental treatment is very popular among celebrities of all ages. Many are happy to admit in the press that they have had treatment, while others try and keep it secret, despite the evidence to the contrary!

Seeing how successful a procedure like braces, veneers or whitening has been on a celebrity can inspire patients to turn up at dental clinics requesting similar treatments, so that they can get the same smile and the same look as their favourite celebrity. Some of the brightest and most dazzling famous smiles have been given a helping hand by dental practitioners, including those of Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani and actress Katherine Heigel.

Who’s had what done?

Miley’s perfect smile was created with the help of a set of porcelain veneers, which can cover up minor imperfections in just one appointment, while Gwen and Katherine have both had orthodontic work to correct their crooked smiles. Katherine was treated using one of the new, modern types of invisible braces, while there are many pictures of Gwen with her traditional fixed braces, which helped to create the perfect smile we can all see today.

The Kate Middleton look

Often patients will come into clinics asking for a particular celebrity’s look, even if they don’t know what treatment they have had done! The Kate Middleton look is a popular request, as ladies all over the world want to copy her perfect princess smile.

Although all the reports are only tabloid gossip, Kate is rumoured to have had orthodontic work on her teeth, using the latest 3D technology to reduce the amount of time that the patient has to wear their braces. Comparing her engagement pictures with previous newspaper shots, it appears she has also had professional teeth whitening carried out. No doubt the Kate Middleton smile will be recreated in many mouths around the world!
