What is Hollywood smile?
Definition
A Hollywood smile is a whole-smile cosmetic plan, usually porcelain veneers on the teeth that show when smiling, sometimes combined with crowns, gum contouring or whitening, designed together to suit the face.
The term describes a result, not a single procedure: even, bright and symmetrical teeth across the smile line. It is planned after teeth, gums and bite are checked, designed digitally and tried as a mock-up before any tooth is prepared. At Creative Arts in Dubai it typically takes 3–4 appointments over about 1–2 weeks once teeth and gums are healthy, and the price is calculated from the veneer price of AED 1,250 per tooth: 10 upper veneers from AED 12,500 and 20 veneers from AED 25,000.
Ask how many teeth show when you smile widely, since that decides whether you need 8, 10 or more veneers. Ask to choose the shade on the mock-up, and whether a more natural shade would suit your skin and face. Ask what preparation is planned for each tooth, and what the review appointment includes.
Questions about Hollywood smile
Does a Hollywood smile always mean very white teeth?
No. The name suggests a bright film-star look, but the shade is chosen with you. Many patients prefer a natural white that matches the whites of their eyes and their skin tone, with soft translucency at the edges, rather than an opaque, flat white. You can compare shades on the mock-up before the ceramic is made, and the chosen shade is recorded for the lab.
