Hollywood Smile
What Is a Hollywood Smile (Smile Design)?
A Hollywood Smile, also known as Smile Design, is a personalized dental makeover that combines aesthetic and functional dental procedures to create a harmonious, radiant smile. This treatment may include one or more of the following:
-
Teeth whitening
-
Porcelain veneers or lumineers
-
Zirconia or E-max crowns
-
Gum contouring (gum aesthetics)
-
Orthodontic alignment
-
Facial harmonization (botox or fillers, if needed)
Smile design not only transforms your appearance but also improves oral health, tooth alignment, and self-confidence.
What to Expect During the Smile Design Process
Smile design is a fully customized treatment tailored to the patient’s facial structure, dental condition, and personal preferences. The process typically includes a minimum of three visits:
Visit 1: Consultation & Smile Analysis
-
Digital X-rays and photographs are taken
-
A detailed evaluation of tooth shape, color, gum line, and bite
-
Your dentist uses Digital Smile Design (DSD) software to show a preview of your potential smile
-
A mock-up is created to test the proposed design in your mouth
Visit 2: Mock-Up and Planning
-
You review the mock-up with your dentist
-
Adjustments are made based on your feedback
-
A final smile design is confirmed
-
If needed, teeth whitening is done to match veneers or crowns to a brighter base color
Visit 3: Treatment
-
Lumineers, E-max or zirconia crowns, or full porcelain crowns are prepared and placed
-
Gum contouring with laser may be performed to create balance
-
For patients with gummy smiles or asymmetry not resolved with gum aesthetics, botox or dermal fillers may be used to refine the final result
How Long Does Smile Design Take?
-
The initial design session takes approximately 1–2 hours
-
The mock-up appointment lasts around 2–3 hours
-
Final placement and adjustments are completed in about 1 hour
Depending on the complexity, the entire treatment can be completed within one week or across multiple visits.
