Looking at those pretty celebrity pictures and imagining whether it is the magic of photography, airbrushing or genetics, is common for most of us. But having a perfect smile has a lot to do with those flawless pearly whites more than the photography. 

How hard is it to achieve that level of perfection? Not hard at all…! 

A simple consultation with your dentist will enlighten you about these harmless minimal dental procedures that may help you attain the desired results.

These fairly common dental procedures are not just popular amongst public figures but also with the general populace. They are the reason for pearly whites and eventually the perfect smiles. 

There is no patient suffering following these procedures, so no need to worry!

Find out which dental procedures you should know about to get the perfect ‘celeb-like’ smile-

Veneers

Veneers are not fake teeth rather teeth mimicking porcelain substances that look very natural. It is used to reconstruct the flawed teeth. Those chipped, crooked teeth need not stay the same, getting veneers done will enhance the shape and look of those flawed teeth to boost your smile.

Teeth Whitening

Your teeth may look pale because of enamel loss too, not all dull teeth are the result of staining. Anyhow the dentists advise getting a professional cleaning done every few months to keep oral hygiene optimal, teeth whitening is a common part of the same. Ideally, it takes less than an hour to get the whole procedure done. Instead of using products that are available over the counter (whitening strips), getting your teeth whitened professionally at the dentist’s clinic (bleach/laser whitening), will help the cause in a better manner.

Invisible Aligners

If you are an adult with misaligned or crowded teeth but you fear the age of getting braces has passed, it's a myth. Getting braces is possible for everyone (as per the doctor’s advice). However, if you are unsure of getting the authentic mental braces with visible brackets, those invisible aligners that help straighten your teeth without being visible to others are your best bet. Dentists will custom-make these by taking the exact measurements of your dental arch. These work extremely well with great efficiency if correctly taken care of.

Well, these are procedures that are effective when you don't have a perfect set of teeth. But in case you are born with those perfect set of teeth and desire for celebrity-like shiny teeth. The below tips can help you achieve that.

1. Consider Whitening Toothpaste

Using a whitening toothpaste can keep your teeth white and shiny by removing the stains from your teeth. Some foods leave stains on your teeth like coffee, which makes our teeth look yellow and unappealing. Whitening toothpaste may help remove those stains. Begin with a small amount of it to make sure it doesn't irritate your teeth. 

2. Straw can help remove the stain

Dark-colored beverages like tea, coffee, wine, and even some juices can leave stains on your teeth. Using a straw while consuming these beverages can prevent your teeth from getting stained. So, go for straws instead of directly sipping your favorite beverage from your cup.

3. Scale And Polish

Just like you scale and polish your nail to make it look beautiful, our teeth also need the same to look perfect and appealing. Your dentist can help scale your teeth by removing the surface stains and hardened plaque formed on its surface and buffing it. The treatment usually takes about 15 minutes depending on the amount of plaque to be removed and the effects last for about 3-6 months. 

4. Give up smoking

The harmful effect of smoke is very well-known. It also affects your teeth and the effect is so adverse that it is almost not possible to get back your pearly white-looking teeth. Smoking stains your teeth and over time can build plaque on the tooth surface. The plaque formed can build up into tartar which makes it really hard for you to get white teeth using natural methods. So give up smoking if you wish to have celebrity-like perfect white teeth.

5. Sonic Wave Toothbrushes

These toothbrushes utilize sonic waves to clean up the plaque and stains from your tooth surface. It operates in 3 modes clean, whiten and massage which helps clean, whiten and polish your teeth while also massaging your gums. 

Are you satisfied? Don’t worry, you can say NO.
