Your path to a Hollywood smile
Have you ever wanted a Hollywood smile like the stars on the red carpet? It’s a dream that many people believe is unachievable. But how would you feel if we told you that this dream could soon be a reality? The specialised treatment method we use in our dental practice, Dr. Kolling in Munich, means that we can now help you achieve a Hollywood smile worthy of any Hollywood star.
What is a Hollywood smile?
The Hollywood smile is a perfect, white, symmetrical smile. It is a synonym for flawless aesthetics, health and vitality. This radiant smile is often achieved using a combination of veneers, transparent aligners and bleaching. In modern dentistry, the interplay of these three methods is vital for achieving the ideal outcome and minimising the loss of dental substance of often healthy teeth.
Step by step to a Hollywood smile
Our approach to the Hollywood smile combines the proven method of veneer with modern aligners and bleaching processes. This is a detailed overview of the steps to your new smile:
Initial consultation and planning:
Individual consultation: We will discuss your wishes and expectations in an in-depth consultation, taking the time to understand your specific requirements and to answer all your questions about the treatment.
Analysis of your tooth and jaw structure: Using modern diagnostic methods, including digital X-rays and 3D scans, we analyse your tooth and jaw structure. This gives us an accurate picture of the current condition of your teeth.
Creation of a personalised treatment plan: We develop a customised treatment plan based on the results of the analysis and your aesthetic goals. This plan may include the use of veneers, aligners and bleaching.
Aligners (Invisalign):
Clear aligners: We offer transparent aligners to straighten minor misalignment and to ensure the optimum alignment of your teeth. These practically invisible retainers are produced specifically for your teeth and gradually correct the alignment of your teeth using gentle pressure.
Wear time: You need to wear the aligners for a certain number of hours every day and they will be replaced at regular intervals to maintain progress.
Bleaching:
Professional bleaching: We offer professional bleaching for a white smile. This can either be performed in our practice or at home. Bleaching lightens your teeth and gives them a fresh appearance.
Care and follow-up treatment: After bleaching, you will receive tips on how to look after your teeth and if applicable, products for follow-up treatment to ensure the result is long-lasting.
Veneers:
Minimally invasive preparation: To ensure the perfect fit for your veneers, we will prepare your teeth using a minimally invasive technique. A thin layer of the tooth enamel will be removed to create space for the veneers, however, only the necessary amount of tooth enamel will be removed to ensure your natural tooth substance is protected. It may be possible to carry out the process without grinding any of the enamel if there is already enough space.
Production and fitting: Following preparation, we will take a detailed impression or scan of your teeth to use as a template to produce your veneers. They will be custom-made with the greatest precision in our affiliated dentistry laboratory and fitted in a subsequent appointment.
Follow-up check and adjustment:
Thorough follow-up check: Once all the treatment steps have been completed, we will check your new teeth thoroughly. We will review the fit and comfort of your veneers and make sure that the bleaching results are optimal.
Adjustments: We will take care of any adjustments immediately to ensure that you are perfectly happy with your new smile.
Long-term care: We provide regular check-up appointments to ensure the longevity and beauty of your Hollywood smile.
Benefits of the Hollywood smile
Radiant aesthetic: Your teeth will dazzle now they are white and symmetrical, positively influencing your overall appearance.
Self-confidence: A beautiful smile boosts your self-confidence and radiance, which can positively impact your personal and professional life.
Longevity: Veneers, aligners and bleaching work together to create a lasting, radiant smile. Look after your veneers and they can last 15 years or even longer.
Minimal invasiveness: Treatment is gentle and only needs a minimal layer, if any, of your enamel to be removed, which preserves the natural tooth substance as much as possible.
Natural look: Thanks to state-of-the-art techniques and materials, your veneers, aligners and the bleaching treatment will create an entirely natural look.
Frequently asked questions about a Hollywood smile
Is the treatment painful?
The preparation and fitting of veneers is generally performed under local anaesthetic, which means you won’t feel any pain during the treatment. Following the procedure you may experience some sensitivity, which will quickly subside. When using the aligners, you may feel a little pressure, at most.
How long does the treatment take?
It generally takes a few weeks to months from the initial consultation to when you finish using the aligners, complete the bleaching treatment and we fit the veneers for you. The timing depends on the number of aligners you need, the complexity of the required alignment and your personalised treatment plan.
How do I look after my new veneers and aligners?
Looking after your veneers and aligners is easy: Clean your teeth regularly, use dental floss and clean your aligners – that’s all you need to do. You should also visit our practice every six months for a check-up to ensure the longevity of your veneers and the results of your aligners.
Are veneers and aligners suitable for everyone?
In most cases, veneers and aligners are the ideal solution to achieve a radiant smile. However, if a person has severely damaged or decayed teeth it may be necessary to carry out other dental treatments first. We will evaluate this in detail in our initial consultation.
In our practice, we offer more than just veneers. We offer a combination of veneers and aligners to achieve the ultimate Hollywood smile. Your teeth will first be straightened using aligners, creating an optimised base for the subsequent veneer treatment. This combination makes it possible for us to perfect the function as well as the aesthetics of your teeth, giving you a radiant smile.
