Those who had braces (and maybe even full head gear?) throughout their teens will know that being born with a great smile is like winning the genetic lottery.
And while we’re incredibly lucky to now have (basically) invisible options like Invisalign and EZ SMILE® Clear Aligners to straighten us out, some people still opt for cosmetic dental surgery.

Veneers is one such treatment that’s pretty popular in Hollywood, usually involving ultra-thin porcelain being bonded to the front of existing teeth to perfect the shape of each tooth and whiten the smile.
Here are just some of the celebs who have (reportedly) had the procedure to enhance (and in some cases, completely transform) their smile…
Demi Moore before veneers
Sorry for the unflattering angle Demi, but it shows off your pre-veener gnashers perfectly.

We’ll make it up to you by posting this flattering pic that really highlights your newer and incredibly straight smile.
Emma Roberts before veneers
Being related to one of the best smiles in the world (Julia Roberts) must come with a multitude of pressures.

But Emma and her pearly whites are certainly giving her aunty a run for her money.
Ciarran Stott before veneers
When Ciarran first appeared on our screens for The Bachelorette, his natural teeth were straight and understated.

For his triumphant return to Bachelor in Paradise, Ciarran’s chompers appeared a little whiter, brighter and bigger, after visiting Vogue Dental Studios for the treatment.
Emma Watson before veneers
In the later Harry Potter years, Emma became a closed-mouth smiler…

But now she’s back to grinning with full force again and we love it!

OG teeth on the OG Lizzie McGuire.

New teeth for the reboot.
Jordyn Woods before veneers
Before that scandal, Jordyn Woods was mostly known for her modelling, with a gorgeous gap-toothed smile.

But it seems she’s forgone it in favour of a new set of chompers.
Miley Cyrus before veneers
After leaving the Disney channel and Hannah Montana behind, a platinum pixie cut wasn’t the only appearance update Miley opted for…

With a few tweaks to her teeth to make them whiter and brighter (but still pretty natural looking).
Niall Horan before veneers
Our favourite Irishman had to do a lot of growing up in the spotlight…

But it seems he was able to escape any (visible) braces.
Zac Efron before veneers
The then High School Musical heart throb appears to have closed his adorable front gap before…

Going the whole way with this fantastic set of sparkling teeth.
Do you know much about veneers? Would you consider any cosmetic dental surgery?
I'd love veneers but have no need for a 100 watt hollywood smile.
I would love to have veneers and have discussed several times with my dentist. The cost is massive and I also have dental phobia so I can just dream Xxx
Beautiful! Most of them just had a bit of yellowish pigment, brightening would be enough. Have to say that results are just excellent. Hard being a celeb, pressure is high
The Celebrities look great Veneers certainly have made a huge difference, would definitely consider having them done myself.
When I think of veneers I think big teeth but some of these look nice and normal sized.
I’m going to be really picky and say that some of them look fantastic, but some look false. I’m not sure that I could do it, as my teeth are in really poor condition. I’d hate to think of the cost involved.
In my opinion Niall Horan is the only one that needed any treatment at all. Most I preferred the before look than the after as their mouths looked too full.
Some of them look very fake and scarily white! There are many in the 'before' category that I liked better. I have teeth problems, so I'm not an expert.
Niall definitely has an improvement but a lot of the ladies I think I prefer with their own interesting and beautiful teeth – the veneers can look a bit much. Sorry ladies a waste of your efforts in my view in getting the veneers!
I kind of stick with basic care : tooth brushing and flossing.
Wow big difference
I'd be interested to hear from some BH Beauties if they've had veneers. I've heard that you've got to have them checked by a Dentist. Is this true?
Personally I would prefer to have my own teeth because the veneers above all look the same. I prefer to have my own style.
Some look good and some look really fake
I would love to be able to afford veneers
Demi Moore & Zac Efron's teeth look like false teeth because they're too white. All of the others are an improvement, especially Niall Horan. I wonder what's involved in maintaining veneers compared to natural teeth.
Ive damaged my front teeth from teeth grinding and clenching at night. I would love to have perfect teeth but the cost is way out of my reach.
lol me too! : D
I agree cityglenda – I like individual style natural teeth on people too – they just seem to look better and suit their face better than the big artificial white 'perfect' ones – the almost look like cartoon teeth!
M8 – they don't last forever – need to be replaced at different stages (not sure how long – maybe 10-15 years depending on the person) as my Mum had them done. They look good for her but she's 76 and she didn't get big fake white one's like some of these celebs. She got more natural looking one's.
Some of them just look too fake to look good.
Me too Indie. I need them for 2 of my teeth as they are malformed due to having overgrown baby teeth in my mouth (had the baby teeth removed prior to getting braces 19 years ago), but have never been able to afford them. The last time I went to the dentist (years ago – yep, I'm naughty), I was quoted $1500 per tooth for veneers. I reckon it'd be more like 2K per tooth now.
Cosmetic dental surgery is so expensive. I can't be bothered to have as already ready for teeth fillings and root canal in a month or so. I am so horrified sitting on the dental chair that have been pushing everything and is already to a saturation point that my gums have started aching as well. Phew
Look like false teeth to me. Not a fan.
Some of them didn't even need veneers!
Only a couple looked like needed improvements. A few looked like they’ve gone too far with the whitening. Wasnt there a Friends episode where Ross’s teeth glowed in a nightclub??
Some of these just look like whitening, they had pretty good teeth before and the veneers look natural
Wow they look amazing ! I think all celebs have them
Veneers make such a difference to the face but some of these celebrities teeth look way too fake and it doesn't look good
I think some of them look amazing such as Niall Horan's which make a huge difference to his appearance. I think Miley's are the most natural looking.
Meedee Totally agree with you wished I could afford to have my teeth redone as well so expensive unfortunately.
I agree with a lot of the comments. Most looked better without veneers except for Niall who definitely needed some teeth straightening and braces may have been better.
I prefer the natural look. Some of these are too white to be natural looking.
How can you tell they are veneers eg Miley Cirus. The before and after the shape of the teeth look the same just whiter. Some, i can tell look veryvery fake so it is obvious
Veneers seem like a pretty extreme solution, and so often they just look fake.
I totally agree!
All of these pics they look like they have great teeth. Id be worried about ruining my teeth with bad veneers.
I was thinking the same thing!
Their teeth all find of look the same like too perfect. I probably would just whiten mine.
I’m currently doing Invisalign and braces and they’ve straightened my teeth so much! Still have a little bit to go but it will be worth it! I think that if you want to fix your teeth, go for it if it will make you feel more confident!
Looking at Donald Trump's teeth is enough to put me off but some teeth makeovers look more natural than others
They sure are much brighter and whiter
I don't know much about veneers but I have always had issues with my teeth since I was young and it is very upsetting. I would love to smile with confidence, be a dream though the cost is something I could never afford.
Ooh Zac Efron! Those are both bad photos of Demi Moore?? Some look scary! Some look no better!
I know super white, super straight teeth are very much desired, but I actually find crooked smiles and normal coloured teeth to be attractive. Not sure how beauty standards come about but they’re cultural and fashion based!
I've had my teeth whitened before. Loved it! Although so many of the teeth shown are soooo white. RIP their enamel
I have noticed that all the TV presenters have these beautiful, white, straight teeth and now I know how they get them. Cost a bit I imagine.
I wouldn't mind having my teeth whitened a bit, but perfectly shaped and perfectly even teeth like some shown here look a bit obviously fake to me 🙁
Wow veneers make a huge difference
Wow I did not recognise Demi!
Yup seems like the general consensus after reading through the comments. Great minds think alike?! : )
