Like the top 8/10 I thinkThat's interesting, thanks for the information. I was going by what I could find on Google.
How many? There are composite and porcelain veneers, the former being quite a bit cheaper but they don't last as long.
I'm actually amazed how strong real teeth are, provided they're well taken care of and with the right diet (no soda, low sugar and sufficient calcium/magnesium/vitamin D intake).
Hair transplants are 100% real, unless you think people still get plugsNot 100% but they're as real as hair transplants and silicone implants.
Correcto. Perfect teeth are weird asf. And I have near perfect natural teeth.

Infected wisdom teeth is the worst pain I've ever experienced.Real teeth are pretty strong. I've abused the hell out of my teeth and they're still trucking even with the infected wisdom teeth that had to be yanked out. On another note fuuuuck infected wisdom teeth. I thought I was dying. (Though I did slightly chip one. Thankfully it was such a slight chip that getting it fixed would probably do more harm than good.)
I've gotten the opinions of three different dentists, and unfortunately this is not the case. It's my third set for some of my teeth, and those are the ones causing problems when they weren't before. They're also easily the best looking cosmetically I've ever received in my life. Unfortunately, i have so little enamel left (mostly down to just dentin) that they'll continue to have bonding and sensitivity issues going forward.When I was in 3rd grade, someone bumped into me while I was taking things out of my bag and my mouth hit the table... my freshly grown front "real teeth" broke in half. They were rounded like in the picture and got a veneer or something and I have 0 issues with them.
Sounds more like yours are poorly done or something is off, because I don't think that is normal.
Anne Hathaway and Denzel Washington. Are their teeth real or not? I need to know
Shane needs as much help as he can get, let the man be. He's in a wheelchair.
Shocked no one has posted Morgan Freeman yet. Please do, I'm on mobile.
That filed down teeth-post is the worst thing I have ever seen. What. The. Fuck.
Looking at this makes me shiver uncontrollably. I'm glad I was born with a fairly good set of teeth, so I never really had to do much for them to look fine.
Their teeth aren't there anymore. Not really. They're ground down to nubs to serve as anchors for the veneers.
Alternatively,
You're welcome for the nightmares.

Also, veneers usually last a couple years before they start to chip so they have to be replaced all the time. I imagine it could easily cost $500k+ in a lifetime.
veeners are super conservative these days, you can even do some without preparing the tooth at all.
The pic you posted looks a lot more like crown preparations, not veeners. Not the same thing at all
No, your teeth have changed a great deal in however many years it's been. A mold isn't a big deal; they just fill a little tray with some rubbery goo that you bite down on. It takes literally a minute to do.Question for dentist Era: I still have a cast of my teeth which was made before wearing braces at age 14. If I ever need veneers or crowns, can they use it to make an exact replica?
I've never understood this. Henry Cavill has terrible bottom teeth. So does Tom Hardy. Rudy Giuliani's are the thing of nightmares, but he has perfect, obviously-fake upper dentures.The funny thing is tons of celebrities do their top teeth but then don't bother with their bottom. Will Ferrell's are particularly lovely.
I only have one front tooth. This pic is around 11 years old, so some things have shifted around a bit. I should do Invisalign at some point.I can't remember where I learned about the whole 'Tom Cruise has one middle tooth' thing but it's pretty much killed all of his movies for me.
When I was 3 years old, I fell against a concrete curb and smashed my top front baby teeth back up into my gums. I can vividly remember this happening and the look of horror on the guy who picked me up from the ground. The teeth were dead and never grew and they eventually had to pull them out. I grew up as a hippie in unflouridated West Virginia, so my teeth always had cavities (though I'm beginning to suspect I may have been scammed by our local dentist, or at least he wasn't very good). From x-rays, they could see the permanent teeth were all messed up and when I was twelve they scheduled surgery to remove them.
(I don't really have many pictures of me smiling as a kid. For all I know, I was monstrous.)
For my first oral surgery, I was in a regular dental patient chair and I had to hold a metal grounding plate in my hands. The surgeon warned me I couldn't drop it or I would be electrocuted. He didn't use a scalpel to cut my gums open, his instrument had a short wire that came out of a handle and he used that to burn my gums apart (I guess this cauterized the wound, there wasn't really any blood). I could see blue smoke curling up and smell my flesh cooking. My teeth were really impacted in the gums and he had to break them apart with pliers and even used a small dental hammer and chisel on them. Right after the surgery, my upper lip was as swollen as a golf ball. One of the teeth was still living, so they left it intact, though it was growing sideways.
An orthodontist offered to take me on as an experimental patient. He had an idea of how to fix the gap in my teeth and bring that perpendicular tooth down. This surgery was in a hospital under general anesthesia. They wrapped a wire around the tooth and left a short length of it sticking out of my gums. Again, my upper lip temporarily swelled to horrific proportions.
What was this orthodontist's master plan? I would have one of those palate expanders installed to widen my bite; I'd have braces to straighten my teeth and reposition them; and they would slowly puuuuuullllllllllll that tooth down through my gums and maneuver it into place. Eventually, I would have one permanent incisor with other teeth moved to fill in the gap of the missing one. I think they even swapped the placement of a canine tooth. Using that key to spread my palate was terribly painful, but it was nothing compared to when the orthodontist grabbed ahold of that wire with a pair of needle-nose pliers and pulled. It was like training the growth of a sapling and eventually the tooth was turned in the correct direction and emerged. I used to scream and weep from the pain and the only silver lining was when the assistants had to hold me down and their breasts were pressed against me. These are the little moments that we seize to keep our sanity.
They had planned to cap one of the teeth to resemble the other, but by the time that came around I was through with the torture and declined. I only have one front tooth right in the middle of my smile (if you look at a picture of Tom Cruise, he has the same thing). It's not something anyone really notices, though once you see it you will shit bricks and you can't unsee it. Dentists usually do a double-take when they first examine me and one even told me I was famous as a "Patient X" in orthodontic journals.

Dentists know what teeth look like. They need to mold the current teeth so your new one will fit properly against the others. I've had crowns; there's a lot of fine-tuning by the dentist even when the final porcelain is put in.But then I'd have a cast of damaged teeth after decades of enamel erosion. If I lose just a single teeth, isn't it more useful to use the earlier cast, from when the tooth was unaffected?
I always figured celebrities simply had their teeth bleached and straightened but apparently almost every famous person has porcelain veneers, hiding their natural not so pretty teeth underneath. Same thing for most news anchors, politicians and musicians. It even goes way beyond that. Doctors, CEOs, bankers, lawyers. Anyone who's rich really. Any of these pretty smiles can easily cost $100k.
I sure feel better about my teeth now.
This annoys me in show like The Walking Dead where the characters are living on scraps, probably haven't seen a toothbrush in years but still have blindingly white teeth. Lame.
