Tips after making a Hollywood smile
What distinguishes the Hollywood smile procedure is that it does not require any additional care, but all you need is the daily dental care that a person usually performs as part of his life routine, and among the most important of these tips:
Cleaning the teeth using the brush and paste, in addition to the use of dental floss, which helps to clean and protect the teeth from food crumbs.
Reducing food that may cause some stains on the teeth, such as some foods that contain sugar or certain dyes, in addition to also reducing some drinks, such as tea and coffee.
Try to reduce smoking as much as possible, because it contributes greatly to changing the color of the crusts, and it also weakens the gums.
Hollywood smile procedure
The Hollywood smile procedure goes through three basic stages:
Preparation stage: At this stage, the doctor performs some necessary dental examinations in order to ensure the integrity of the teeth on the one hand, and to find out the suitability of the veneers to the patient’s teeth on the other hand.
The stage of modeling the scales: In this stage, the doctor removes approximately 0.5 mm of the enamel of the tooth surface (the same size as the scales), in order to be able to coat the teeth with the appropriate scales. After that, the doctor makes a model of the scales that fit the patient’s teeth, and sends them to the laboratory, to be obtained after a week or two.
The stage of installing the crusts: In the beginning, the doctor experiments with the crusts, where he places them on the patient’s teeth to ensure that they are suitable for him in terms of color and size, and then he cleans the teeth and installs the crusts through the use of a custom adhesive.
