10 Hollywood Stars You Never Knew Had Cosmetic Dentistry
When was the last time you saw a Hollywood star who didn’t smile at the camera because they were embarrassed of their teeth? Unless it’s a movie, you’d never think today’s movie stars including Zac Efron and Tom Cruise ever had problems with their teeth. That’s where we’re all wrong!
For actors and singers, having a smile they’re confident in is very important for their careers as it instills trust and friendliness amongst their followers and the general population. That’s why many of Hollywood’s biggest actors and stars have undergone cosmetic dentistry including bonding, dental implants and teeth whitening. Here we have 10 of today’s biggest stars who have had cosmetic dentistry and how it’s benefited their careers since.

Before he took on the role of Ted Bundy or joined forces with the Greatest Showman, before he shot to fame in High School Musical, Zac Efron was just another kid who had an uneven smile. He suffered from uneven spacing between his teeth, putting him at the center of many adolescent jokes. After using Invisalign to straighten his teeth throughout his teen years, Efron moved forward with porcelain veneers and teeth whitening to achieve a smile he was proud of out on the red carpet.

We’ll be seeing more of her new smile throughout this year as she prepares to launch her Snapchat docuseries, “Bringing Up Bhabie.”
