Is a Hollywood Smile Right for You?
While a Hollywood Smile can be transformative, it’s not right for everyone. Here are some considerations to help you decide:
Good candidates typically:
- Have generally good oral health with resolved underlying issues
- Have realistic expectations about outcomes
- Are committed to good oral hygiene and maintenance
- Have teeth that would benefit from comprehensive aesthetic improvement
- Understand the permanent nature of the treatment
You might want to consider alternatives if:
- You only have minor cosmetic concerns
- You have untreated gum disease or decay
- You grind your teeth severely (bruxism)
- You’re looking for a temporary or reversible solution
- Your budget doesn’t allow for eventual maintenance or replacement
