Hollywood veneers
Looking at the dazzling smiles of Hollywood stars, one might get the impression that only those who have gorgeous teeth can be actors.
But even among Hollywood celebrities, one rarely finds a person with a naturally radiant smile.
The whole secret is in the latest technologies of tooth restoration and the skill of dentists.
The expression “Hollywood smile” arose in the 50s of the last century, when Marilyn Monroe appeared on TV screens, showing her teeth white teeth.
The smile of the actress was decorated by an American dentist Charles Pincus, who performed her teeth with veneers in 1937. Since then, the fashion for white teeth has only taken root.
Faced with the problem of choosing a tooth restoration, it is necessary to determine what lumineers are (they are also called "Hollywood veneers").
Dental lumineers are developed in the USA by the American company Cerinate and are made from patented ceramics. They are used to make the stars smile perfect.
So, for example, Hillary Duff, who successfully starred in films, recorded albums, needed teeth correction, due to their crowdedness and yellowness of a smile. After the restoration of teeth by Hollywood veneers, the actress was able to smile with a wide smile.
A feature of the pads is their small thickness, comparable to a contact lens. But, despite this, the strength of lumineers is not inferior to conventional veneer plates.
With proper care and care, the replacement of lumineers will not require a sufficiently long time.
The most popular Hollywood veneers are among celebrities, as well as Russian stars.
Unfortunately, even perfectly even and white teeth from birth can tarnish and change color with age.
And since the Hollywood smile in public is an integral part of the image, they have to resort to correction in order to quickly and efficiently restore the aesthetics of the dentition.
Advantages
- No dental preparation required. For better adhesion of the tooth surface with the lumineer, an easy etching of the enamel is performed.
- There is no need to anesthetize.
- There is no need to use a temporary lining.
- After removing the luminaire, the tooth surface does not require restoration.
- Reversibility of the lining installation process.
- Hollywood veneers allow you to align the dentition. The result of the restoration of the teeth in the patient is a perfectly smooth snow-white smile.
- The procedure for tooth restoration with lumineers takes less time than with traditional prostheses: crowns and veneers.
- Easy care, as plaque does not form on the plates, they do not change color and are not subject to external influences.
- To correct the smile zone, lumineers can be installed on bent teeth falling into this zone.Correction is also possible with darkening, discoloration, cracks and chips of enamel, diastema of the teeth.
disadvantages
- The main disadvantage is the high cost lumineers.
- Production and delivery of linings from America.
- If there is a malocclusion, the installation of lumineers is undesirable, since their service life will be reduced to a year, and money will be wasted.
- They are used only for insignificant adjustment of tooth color, as they are very thin.

Cost
Due to the fact that the manufacture of structures is made in America, delivery is included in their cost.
Hollywood veneers, the price of which consists of the cost of the lumineers themselves, reaches several clinics for delivery and installation 40 thousand rubles for one pad.
In this regard, patients who want to get a Hollywood smile will need to spend a lot of money and spend time waiting at least one month.
Due to the high cost of the pads, closing them a lot of teeth is too expensive a pleasure. In this connection, they are recommended to be used only for front row teeth.
Standing teeth can be whitened so that they do not stand out against the background of veneers.
Where to install
It must be borne in mind that in Russia there are a limited number of dental clinics that deal with lumineers. Moreover, the clinic must have a certificate for such work. This means that there are qualified specialists who can work with Hollywood veneers.
In some clinics, dentists propose the installation of standard Hollywood veneers of serial production, which are installed by gluing on the teeth, like false nails. Such linings have nothing to do with real Hollywood veneers. They are not covered by the warranty.
