Laser whitening
Laser whitening is a gentle and effective way to lighten enamel up to 8-10 tones.
A special composition of hydrogen peroxide is applied to the surface of the teeth and chemical processes are activated using a laser beam. The radiation acts locally, which completely eliminates the possibility of burns to the mucous membranes. The laser quickly penetrates into the deep layers of dentin without drying out the enamel. Therefore, hyperesthesia (increased tooth sensitivity) does not occur. You can achieve good results in just one session. The procedure is absolutely painless and takes no more than 30 minutes. In addition, the laser has antibacterial properties. With proper oral care, the results will last for 5–7 years. In the absence of contraindications and following the doctor’s recommendations, whitening will not harm the teeth, but on the contrary, will strengthen the enamel.
Contraindications to laser whitening:
- pregnancy, breastfeeding;
- children under 16 years of age;
- allergies to current medications;
- untreated caries;
- teeth that are too transparent;
- fluorosis (mottled enamel).
How do stars make their teeth white? Basic methods
There are only two ways to achieve “Hollywood smiles”:
- Orthodontic treatment with braces or aligners, and then teeth whitening.
- Veneers are thin ceramic plates that are installed on the outer surface of the tooth (and, as a rule, in the “smile zone,” i.e., only on the front teeth).
Both versions are suitable not only for celebrities, but also for “ordinary mortals”. There is one BUT: unlike ordinary people, celebrities cannot always afford long-term bite correction and “shine” on cameras with braces. As you know, even in the simplest cases, teeth straightening will take 4 or 6 months.
In addition, not everyone has naturally “correct” teeth: we are talking about the shape, length and thickness of the teeth, the level of the gums and other indicators, the combination of which makes a smile attractive (or not).
Tom Cruise preferred the “long” option and at the age of 40 began correcting his bite with braces.
Veneers, unlike braces, can solve the issue of not only an even dentition, but also the shape of the tooth, its length, and also “set” a permanent color that will not deteriorate over time (unlike whitening, which has a temporary effect).
Also, the installation of veneers can be carried out in just a few appointments with a dentist, so many stars choose this particular solution.
What are they made of?
Veneers are ceramic plates that are attached to the outside of the tooth. Veneers are also available in zirconium. These materials help achieve natural transparency and maximum resemblance to “real” teeth.
How are veneers placed?
The installation technology involves grinding the living tissues of the tooth so that the ceramic onlay fits as tightly as possible to the gum, and also does not visually increase (or increase too much) the “final” size of the teeth.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of veneers?
- white and straight teeth in just a few visits to the doctor: quick results;
- the ability to adjust not only the color, but also the shape of teeth;
- expensive cost of veneering;
- veneers will have to be changed every 10-15 years (depending on the quality of installation, materials and other parameters);
- After the first installation of veneers, there is no turning back: the teeth will be prepared and it will no longer be possible to remove the veneers and walk “as before” with your teeth.
Zac Efron, with the help of veneers, not only removed the diastema (the gap between the front teeth), but also corrected the shape of all the teeth.
Ultrasonic whitening
The ultrasonic whitening method is used for increased tooth sensitivity.
Soft and hard deposits are removed. In this case, the enamel is not damaged. For whitening, a special device is used - a scaler. Under its influence, the drug applied to the enamel releases active oxygen and destroys plaque. A gentle dose of reagents is used. Tartar is removed even from the subgingival area. The patient does not experience pain or discomfort, the session takes 60 minutes. Finally, the teeth are polished with a special paste and fluoridated. You need to repeat the procedure several times. Contraindications:
- exacerbation of systemic chronic diseases;
- the presence of bridges and implants;
- age up to 16 years;
- tuberculosis, hepatitis, AIDS;
- first 3 months of pregnancy.

A winning smile is an important part of your image. Therefore, all the stars choose the most suitable whitening option for themselves.
Whitening with Air-Flow system
To have the same snow-white teeth as famous stars, you can use sandblasting whitening with the Air-Flow system, which is gentle on the teeth.
Cleaning is carried out using a special apparatus. Pigments, plaque, and tartar are removed. The duration of the procedure is 1 hour. A special mixture based on sodium bicarbonate under pressure thoroughly cleans the enamel surface, interdental spaces, and deep gum pockets. After sandblasting, fluoridation is done. For greater comfort, the active mixture is flavored with fruit flavors. Contraindications:
- bronchial asthma;
- maintaining a salt-free diet;
- allergy to fragrances.
Anastasia Ivleeva
Blogger and TV presenter Anastasia Ivleeva invested a lot of money in her smile
The girl achieved her whiteness by installing veneers - ceramic onlays that replace the outer layer of teeth. In this way, she was able to hide minor imperfections in the form of small gaps between the teeth and their crooked shape.
Artificial veneers do not require additional whitening, so Ivleeva only has to maintain high-level oral hygiene and regularly carry out professional cleaning .

Whitening Zoom
Whitening with the Zoom system (USA) allows you to effectively lighten enamel in one visit to the dentist. A special acid-free gel is applied to the surface of the teeth. It is exposed to an ultraviolet lamp, resulting in a reaction that releases oxygen molecules that can act on the deep layers of dentin and eliminate even persistent pigmentation. The gel contains amorphous calcium phosphate, which fills enamel micropores and protects teeth. The result of the procedure lasts up to 5 years.
Nicolas Cage
Nicolas Cage took care of the beauty of his smile only after 40 years
Before this, uneven teeth did not prevent him from getting leading roles in box-office films.
Now he can boast of a snow-white smile , because he has implants installed. An implant is a complex structure that completely replaces a natural tooth. It is embedded in the bone tissue of the jaw.

Fluoride bleaching
Photobleaching is performed using halogen radiation. The light acts on the hydrogen peroxide mass applied to the enamel surface. As a result of a chemical reaction, active oxygen is released, which lightens the pigmentation of deep dentin tissues.
The procedure lasts up to 1.5 hours, is carried out in 3 stages of 15–20 minutes each. The result lasts up to 2 years. After whitening, tooth sensitivity may increase, which will require additional care and the use of special pastes and rinses. The discomfort goes away after 2–3 days.
Contraindications:
- age up to 20 years;
- hyperesthesia;
- carious damage;
- individual intolerance to reagents;
- hyperesthesia;
- Increased abrasion of enamel.
Nikolay Baskov
The singer naturally has excellent teeth: a correct bite, no crooked teeth or any pathological problems. A beautiful smile and healthy teeth are part of Nikolai Baskov’s image. And he trusts this part to specialists only for a professional dental examination. No other interventions were found on the singer, except, perhaps, office bleaching within reason.
Against bleaching? 9 stars with yellow teeth
Their Hollywood smiles are not so sparkling white, but this does not bother celebrities.
Alika Zhukova November 20, 2018
Everyone thinks that stars have straight and snow-white teeth, but that’s not true. While some do everything possible to ensure that their smile is truly Hollywood, others are not embarrassed by crooked teeth, braces, and even yellow discoloration. We didn’t even think that some silver people don’t go to the dentist for whitening, and it’s very in vain. They may be worried that their teeth will become sensitive, but there are now a huge number of techniques that allow this to be done with minimal consequences.
If you don’t want to go to the dentist at all, then there are special whitening strips or trays with gel that do not harm your oral health. But Hollywood stars don’t even want to try this.
For example, the owner of the most beautiful smile in the world, Julia Roberts, prefers her teeth to be a natural shade - with a slight touch of yellow. This is what distinguishes her from her colleagues in the shop, but not all.
Actress Drew Barrymore is also sure that beauty should be natural. She adheres to this principle not only in the beauty of her teeth, she actually has them with a yellow tint, but also in the matter of wrinkles - she definitely does not plan to get rid of them.
Everyone accused Keira Knightley of not straightening her crooked teeth, but this did not stop her from becoming a famous actress, just as yellow teeth do not interfere. The star proudly smiles at the paparazzi from ear to ear and is not shy about anything.
In the gallery you will see more stars who neglect teeth whitening.
What teeth are considered beautiful?
How to understand which teeth are beautiful and which are not? Let's look at several criteria for a “Hollywood smile”.
It is generally accepted that enamel that has a snow-white tint is considered beautiful. Many people strive to bring the color of their teeth as close to ideal as possible. But here you also need to be careful, since overly bright white teeth will no longer look entirely natural. So the enamel should actually have a slight tint.
Form
The shape of the teeth should look beautiful in appearance and be symmetrical to certain lines on a person’s face. The smile line along the lower row of teeth becomes a kind of smooth continuation when moving to the lips, and the teeth resemble perspective, from the nearest teeth to the farthest ones in the row. The cutting edge should be slightly transparent, this gives a natural look.
Healthy gums
Don't forget about your gums. After all, no matter how beautiful your smile is, if your gums are inflamed, it will not look aesthetically pleasing. Healthy gums are usually light pink in color, and the gums are symmetrically located on top of the teeth.
