Famous Smiles with a Few Fixes: Celebrities with Dental Implants

When you think of Hollywood smiles, you probably picture bright, flawless teeth. But not every celebrity was born with a perfect grin. In fact, many have turned to dental implants to restore their smile after injury, decay, or other dental issues.

But, dental implants aren’t just for the rich and famous! They’re a proven solution for anyone who wants a permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement. Keep reading to take a peek at some famous faces who’ve brought their smiles back to life with the help of implants.

Chris Rock

This actor and comedian has been very open about his dental treatment. During his childhood, and even into his early career, he had crooked, gapped, and jutting teeth. After Lethal Weapon’s success, Rock opted for several dental procedures, including implants to restore both his function and confidence.

Mike Tyson

Once known for his gapped smile, it’s no surprise that this former boxing champion had to replace a few teeth over the years. He chose dental implants because of their strength and durability, allowing him to keep his smile looking healthy while he got back to work in the ring.

Ed Helms

You might remember Ed Helms as Stuart Price from The Hangover. He’s the one with a missing tooth! But that wasn’t movie magic. Helms naturally lacked a tooth and had been wearing a dental implant crown for decades. For the film, he simply removed the attached crown to complete the effect.

Christie Brinkley

After a helicopter crash caused her to lose two teeth, the supermodel chose implants to restore her signature smile. She’s since spoken about how they helped her return to public life without feeling self-conscious.

Why Celebrities Love Dental Implants

Implants are popular among stars for the same reasons everyday patients choose them:

• They look and feel natural, so no one can tell the difference.
• They’re durable and long-lasting when properly cared for.
• They restore full chewing ability, so you can enjoy your favorite foods.

Whether you’re posing for a magazine cover or a family photo, dental implants can make your smile look and feel its absolute best.

Celebrities might have access to top cosmetic dentists, but dental implants are available to anyone seeking a lasting, confident smile. If you’ve been considering them, take a cue from these famous faces and call your dentist today. You deserve to feel just as confident in front of the camera!
