Have you ever wondered how your favorite celebrities get their gorgeous, glowing grins? Well, in the case of some stars, it’s with the help of durable, lifelike dental implants. Here are four pop culture icons that have replaced missing teeth with these beautiful restorations, and why you don’t have to be famous to have a superstar smile!
Steven Tyler
Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler is as well-known for his mouth as he is for his persona. Naturally, when he fell and damaged his permanent teeth, he needed a restoration that wouldn’t attract the wrong kind of attention. Wisely, Tyler turned to beautiful, realistic looking dental implants to replace them, and if he wasn’t so honest about it, nobody would ever know!
Kathy Ireland
Kathy Ireland is a supermodel who relies upon her stunning smile to make a living. Unfortunately, a few years ago she fell and damaged some teeth while playing outside with her kids. Luckily, she wasn’t seriously injured, and she was able to restore her gorgeous grin with the help of permanent, natural looking dental implants.
Ed Helms
Fans of the movie The Hangover can likely recall the scene where Ed Helms loses a front tooth, but did you know that he was already missing it before filming? Apparently, he lost it while making another movie and had already replaced it with a dental implant. Then, when filming The Hangover, he simply had the crown taken out to make the scene more believable, and had it reattached when the movie wrapped!
Christie Brinkley
Christie Brinkley has been showing off her healthy, beautiful smile for decades. Unfortunately, however, she still needed to replace a few missing teeth in recent years. Brinkley turned to durable, lifelike dental implants to repair her gorgeous grin, and most people would be hard-pressed to identify which ones are real and which are restorations!
Remember, anyone can lose permanent teeth, but the good news is that you don’t have to be a celebrity to replace them with dental implants. To learn more about your treatment options and see if these restorations are right for you, schedule a consultation with your dentist today.
