A Hollywood Smile is a comprehensive set of procedures aimed at creating a perfect, white, and harmonious smile. It typically involves the placement of veneers or crowns, teeth whitening, bite correction, and other treatments to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and natural result.
We always create restorations that match your natural anatomical tooth size without disrupting the occlusion (bite). This ensures comfort, functionality, and a long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing result.
- Adaptation Period: Adjusting to veneers usually takes a few days to 2 weeks.
- Recommendations: Avoid hard foods in the initial days, and do not use your teeth to bite into hard objects.
- Recovery: If complex procedures, such as root canal treatment, are involved, full recovery may take 2-4 weeks.
