Celebrities with veneers

A preemptive FUCK YOU. And pick up my salad off the floor.

If my teeth were to be flashed 10 feet wide across a movie screen, I'd pay for veneers too.

Otherwise I pass, since veneers look absurdly phony in real life.

Define “celebrity”

Define "veneers."

Six of these things are not like the others.

Six of these things just don't belong...

Ben Affleck had the tiniest teeth I've ever seen.

Veneers are very rare as he painted very few pictures.

Chris Rock said that's pretty much the first thing celebrities do when they get that first big paycheck. See Ben Affleck in Chasing Amy. Watched again for the first time in decades and his teeth were JACKED.

Tiny teeth, unsatisfying beef.

His beef looked pretty good in Gone Girl.

About 10 years ago, Rosie O'Donnell said the first thing she did when she got money was get her teeth done. They look veneerish.

I’m not sure I could. They ruin your real teeth. I see teeth a little differently than hair or nails. They’re an integral part of your body, and their health is intertwined with your general health. Getting bigger, whiter veneers is like sawing off your fingertips to get prettier ones attached.

I guess if you have bad teeth anyway, and you’re being paid millions based on your appearance, maybe. But then you have to spend the rest of your life maintaining them.

I actually grew all new teeth when I was an eight year old fresh-faced child.

Even Marie Osmond admitted on "The Talk" her teeth are hers.

....

You can only whiten teeth so much. Anyone over 40 with white, white teeth has veneers or dentures.

They aren't that expensive if your base teeth are fine. Lumineers are brand which are completely removable unlike most veneers.

Doctor Who actress Billie Piper got veneers and was widely slagged off as no-one could understand a word she was saying anymore.

R12 Exactly. And they often need to be replaced after 15 or 20 years. A lot can happen in that time, and you may not have the means of keeping them up.

I can’t help notice the changes in a person’s gum line when they have veneers or caps put on. The gums often retract and darken. It’s evident that your tissue responds differently to this foreign material in your mouth.

Except in cases of dental trauma, I would prefer to care for my own teeth than worry about maintaining a set of caps or veneers. It seems that the replacement of caps and veneers is really delicate and costly. I would hate dealing with that.

Gary Busey has what...a mouth full of implants? Caps? Dentures?

Elisabeth Moss's in the Invisible Man made her look like a ugly beaver. Really bad.

R11 They look like dentures that can’t be removed easily, and they basically are. My dentist said that full caps are basically permanently anchored dentures. You can tell by how the material interacts with light. I think older people with their original teeth look somehow healthier than those with older, stained caps, unevenly tinted veneers, and dental appliances that don’t “match” surrounding teeth. But I don’t want to disparage anyone for something unavoidable, like poor nutrition as a child, poor genetics or just bad luck. Still, radical elective cosmetic dentistry that involves removing healthy teeth makes bad sense. I would kick myself if I brought an expensive periodontal regime on myself out of vanity years ago. I’d feel so foolish. I also have friends who describe the condition differently over time, form “I love my new smile, it’s the best thing I ever did” to “they couldn’t save the roots supporting this crown” to “I paid $5,600 for an implant that didn’t take, and I have to star all over again.”. It’s rough.

R12 I totally agree. If you get a big Hollywood paycheck, get invisible braces for a year, straighten them out and bleach them....but do NOT file them down to vampire fangs and cover them with expensive, breakable veneers that A) look stupid and B) cost more money to maintain than your ACTUAL TEETH.
