Celebrities and cosmetic treatment go hand-in-hand, if you believe the gossip. There are some well-known examples who have taken it too far, but a lot of the time results are much more subtle. Cosmetic dentistry is popular with the stars as it can improve their appearance, make them look younger and keep their faces appearing in the magazines and on the big screen.

Many of the cosmetic dentistry treatments that celebrities use are available at Mossley Dental Care, where patients from Rochdale and nearby areas can take advantage of advanced options. Teen star Miley Cyrus and prominent figure Kate Middleton, the newest member of the Royal family, are rumoured to have had veneers; a set of perfect teeth that cover crooked and stained smiles. Both have been spotted with straight grins a few weeks after photographs showing their smiles quite differently.

Orthodontics may be able to achieve the same look, but only after months of wearing braces. As with many cosmetic procedures it is very easy to go too far – and there are several stars that have chosen veneers that are far too bright compared to their natural tooth colour and end up with smiles that look fake.

Dozens of celebrities appear to have had teeth whitening treatments at some point in their careers, as an appearance pick-me-up ahead of an important red carpet event. Everywhere these stars go they are expected to have dazzling grins. Many hip hop stars also choose gold teeth. Kanye West, for example, raised a few eyebrows when he revealed that he had his entire bottom set covered with veneers made of diamonds. However, we hope to help our patients do down a more discreet route in terms of cosmetic dentistry treatment.
