The Hollywood Smile with Cosmetic dentistry in the UK is relatively new to many people, especially compared to the US where it has been common practice for many years.
An increasing number of patients from throughout the Merseyside area are using the cosmetic treatments available at Azure Dental in order to give themselves a smile makeover they could only otherwise dream of.
In the late 1920’s and early 1930’s, Hollywood films were becoming increasingly popular, with more and more people going to the cinema to see the latest films. Increasingly many of the films included romantic scenes where a close up was required of the ‘Stars of the Day’ such as Rudolph Valentino.
At this time, most actors and actresses both smoked and drank fairly heavily, long before the time came where health concerns were lifestyle habit related. It wasn’t uncommon for their set of teeth to be badly stained and far from attractive. This could certainly spoil a smile that took up a large part of the cinema screen!
To address this, a dentist called Dr Charles Pincus was asked to design a way of improving the appearance of an actor’s smile. To do this, he created dental porcelain veneers that were used to mask the stained surface of the actor’s upper teeth improving the smile.
Unsurprisingly, early dental veneers fitted were likely to have been cumbersome and served no long-term purpose (similar to todays temporary veneers), being used specifically only to address this cinematic issue. As with any invention that offers benefits, veneer materials and techniques have been refined and improved hugely over the years. We are now able to provide patients of Azure Dental with porcelain veneers that both look and feel entirely natural.
Porcelain veneers now offer hope to patients who have, for various reasons, visible teeth that are either very badly stained or may also have small chips and cracks that spoil their smile even after undertaking some zoom or enlighten evolution hollywood smile teeth whitening. These problems can now be corrected through cosmetic dentist treatments such as composite or porcelain veneers (composite veneers costs tend to be about 1/3rd less than the porcelain version due to the lack of master ceramic technician work required in the laboratory during the manufacturing phase.
Although the procedure does involve the removal of a thin layer of the damaged enamel using local anaesthetic to ensure everything is completely pain free. It is then replaced with a composite or porcelain veneer for a perfect smile; this is a relatively straightforward procedure and many of our Formby/ Liverpool patients have benefitted from it. Whilst a teeth whitening kit and procedure may be suitable for many who have discoloured teeth, it is good to know that dental veneer thin coverings are an option when that particular treatment will no longer produce effective results. Especially for cases,when teeth with wear and tear damage from grinding or discolouration from previous trauma to the teeth.

A Hollywood Smile refers to a complete smile makeover that transforms your teeth into a perfect, bright, and symmetrical set—often the idealized look seen on celebrities. This cosmetic dental treatment typically involves teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, or orthodontics to achieve straight, white, and well-aligned teeth. The goal is to improve both aesthetics and self-confidence, creating a flawless smile tailored to your facial features.
The time required for a Hollywood Smile varies depending on the treatments involved. Simple procedures like teeth whitening may take a single visit, while more complex treatments like veneers or orthodontics can take several weeks or months. On average, a full Hollywood Smile makeover can be completed within 2 to 3 visits over the course of a few weeks. We will create a customised timeline based on your needs.
The cost of a Hollywood Smile varies depending on the treatments required, the materials used, and the complexity of the case. On average, the cost can range from £2,000 to £20,000 or more, depending on whether treatments like veneers, crowns, teeth whitening, or orthodontics are needed. A consultation with us can provide a detailed breakdown of the costs specific to your desired results.
