Since ancient times mankind has searched for various ways to preserve his life by looking for ways to treat the different diseases that threaten it, and he was able to use science in this successfully. The matter then developed and he began to look for how to preserve youth and the aesthetic appearance of the figure and the body in general, and the face in particular.
Is a Hollywood smile a cosmetic procedure?
Some may believe that the Hollywood smile is only a cosmetic procedure whose purpose is to obtain a dazzling smile, but the truth is that the technique used to achieve it has a therapeutic dimension. Doctors may resort to it to conceal fractures in the teeth, or defects in their shape, or their irregularity, or to close the gaps between the teeth, which may be a cause of gum disease and decay because food gets in between them. In any case, whether the aim of obtaining this magical smile is cosmetic or therapeutic, it is worth it, even if the price of a Hollywood smile in Egypt is high.
What is the relationship between the method of the procedure and the price of a Hollywood smile in Egypt?
The Hollywood smile is done by two methods, so the cost of a Hollywood smile in Egypt depends on the cost of each of those methods, and we will discuss both methods here in detail:
The direct or composite veneer method:
This is the process of bonding a layer of veneer or lumineer onto the surface of the tooth directly, without needing to shave the tooth. The fitting process is done in a single session and without anaesthetic. This method is distinguished by preserving the tooth in its complete form, and the lifespan of this veneer does not exceed roughly seven years, because it is made of natural biodegradable materials. If this layer falls off or breaks down, the teeth return to their natural state as before fitting, and it can be dispensed with, and the matter does not require rushing to fit a replacement veneer. It is also distinguished by its colour being close to the colour of natural teeth. Among the most important advantages of this veneer, too, is the possibility of adjusting it or changing its colour, which requires a skilled dentist with a degree of competence — something that affects the price of a Hollywood smile in Egypt.
The indirect or ceramic veneer method:
This type is considered more stable, and it is also not subject to breakdown or damage because it is made of a mineral material; therefore it is distinguished by strength and hardness, with guaranteed colour stability and no effect from the pigments found in foods and drinks. Its expected lifespan exceeds 15 years, but it requires shaving part of the tooth's surface before bonding it, and the fitting process may take two sessions. The advantages of the ceramic veneer are considered among the factors affecting the price of a Hollywood smile in Egypt.
However, if these veneers fall off, one must hurry to fit a replacement veneer, because the tooth has had part of its enamel filed away, which makes consuming hot or cold drinks and foods difficult.
Are Hollywood smile results permanent?
Now that we know the effect of the method of the procedure on the price of a Hollywood smile in Egypt, some also wonder how lasting the results of this procedure are. Certainly, once someone knows the cost of a Hollywood smile in Egypt, and that it is high, they want the results of the procedure to be permanent, so as not to be forced to pay additional amounts later on.
In truth, the price of a Hollywood smile in Egypt is considered high because it has long-lasting results, since it is possible for veneers to remain in the best condition and finest form for a period exceeding 10 years. That is possible if the patient maintains the health of their teeth and adheres to the doctor's instructions, which he prescribes after fixing the veneers, and which include brushing the teeth at least twice daily, using dental floss to remove food residue stuck between the teeth, and not opening metal cans or drink caps with the teeth — as that would reduce how long the Hollywood smile lasts.
In any case, if one of the veneers is damaged it can easily be replaced on its own by visiting the specialist dentist again, bearing in mind that the price of a Hollywood smile in Egypt does not include any veneer replacement procedure — but of course the cost of a complete Hollywood smile will be higher than the cost of changing one or two veneers.
The price of a Hollywood smile in Egypt
We must clarify that the scientific progress witnessed in the field of cosmetic dentistry in recent years, and modern techniques, have played a fundamental role in lowering the cost of a Hollywood smile in Egypt.
The price of a Hollywood smile in Egypt depends on several factors, among them the number of teeth undergoing the procedure, and whether the lenses will be fitted to the front teeth only or to all the teeth, as well as the fitting method — whether the veneer is direct or indirect — and the type of veneer, and finally the doctor's fee and the costs of the clinic or medical centre where the procedure takes place. The gains that veneers achieve for the appearance of the teeth and the aesthetic form of the jaw are considered incomparable to the cost of a Hollywood smile.
When we speak about a procedure whose purpose is cosmetic and whose effects are reflected on the face, the choice of doctor must be made precisely and carefully. We therefore recommend Dr. Amr Helmi, member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the best dentist in Giza.
