Celebrities seem to always have the perfect billion-dollar smile. The one that makes heads turn and hearts beat faster. It’s easy to think they have all been born with a set of perfect pearly whites. However, most celebrities did not naturally have the wonderful smiles we know and love now.
Years of dental care and wads of dollars went into cosmetic dental implants, tooth repair, tooth whitening, and many more treatments to make sure their smiles remain ever young and ever perfect. Ever wanted to find out just how much celebs have spent on their teeth alone? Continue reading to find out!
Demi Moore – Spent an estimated $12K on whitening, repair & dentures
Demi Moore, the gorgeous Striptease and Ghost actress, maybe 54 years old, but seems to only get even more gorgeous as the years pass. The star did not get her wonderful smile naturally. When compared with older pictures, you can see she has had quite a bit of dental care done to get the look she has now. Her teeth were professionally whitened, straightened and she has had veneers placed.
Recently she admitted to losing her two front teeth due to stress, which were then replaced with dentures to get back the glorious smile she had before her busy career caused her to lose them. She’s warned people to make sure you take time out and take care of yourself. We hope she’s feeling less stressed and can continue smiling her way through life!
Cristiano Ronaldo – Spent an estimated $100K on whitening, veneers & straightening
Christiano Ronaldo, the Portuguese star footballer and heartthrob, has a gorgeous cheeky smile. Many a lady would happily join their other halves to watch a match with this hottie on the field.
Little do they know that Ronaldo wasn’t always the handsome man he is now: growing up he suffered from acne and his teeth – as you can tell – were not the straight set of pearly whites they are now. A few trips to the cosmetic dentist and $100K were the solution to this problem: now he has the perfect smile and a youthful glowing skin to complement it!
Nicola Roberts – Spent an estimated $75K on clear braces & veneers
Girls Aloud’s redhead Nicola Roberts has confessed that she often felt like the ugly duckling in the Irish-English girl group, stating that she felt immense pressure to become a prettier version of herself. The fresh-faced starlet has clearly undergone a fair amount of procedures since her rise to fame, including dental procedures.
She said she was wearing invisible braces before getting veneers and was advised by former bandmate Cheryl Cole to do so. She’s still working on her music and looking incredibly fabulous. Although she never really was an ugly duckling, she’s definitely a swan now!
David Beckham – Spent an estimated $3.5K on teeth brightening
David Beckham, the football star turned model and icon, did not grow up having this perfect set of teeth. His wife Victoria (or Posh Spice) similarly did not naturally have the dazzling whites she has now. Both of them underwent cosmetic surgery and whitening to become the fashion power couple they are now.
Beckham can often be seen in ad campaigns and on the red carpet, flashing his pearly smile to the cameras and the fans. Would you have recognized the footballer in his earlier days, with an unpolished yet still very smiley set of teeth?
Emma Watson – Spent an estimated $7.5K on teeth straightening
Emma Watson’s career started at a very young age as the brainy Hermione in the Harry Potter films. Hermione’s character was always well known for being the nerdy girl, but since then Watson has grown into a very elegant young woman. She went to university, engaged herself in charity work talking about the difficulties girls and young women face in life and continues to act in various successful films.
The actress has had her teeth straightened and whitened to create a wonderful smile. Who could resist Watson now, with brains and looks to die for?
George Clooney – Spent an estimated $80K on veneers
George Clooney, the example of a charming gentleman, has charmed the silver screen for over decades with his handsome grin. Yet the film star suffers from bruxism: stress makes him grind his teeth, which can cause irreversible damage to them.
Luckily a few trips to the cosmetic dentist later he now is looking as dashing as ever with a full set of veneers. Although the cost of this is a whopping $80K, we’re sure he’s had a good dental health plan to help cover the costs, and it was certainly worth it. Who wouldn’t melt when the superstar flashes you a smile like that?
Cheryl Cole – Spent an estimated $16K on straightening & whitening
Another Girls Aloud member, with arguably the biggest success out of all the ladies, is Cheryl Cole. She became a judge on The X-Factor and helped others launch their careers. She already had a lovely smile before but decided to straighten and whiten her teeth to get an even more pearly white appearance.
We sure think the teeth repairers and dental procedures were worth it because Cheryl’s star just keeps on rising and rising as the years go by. If only we had the star’s bank account, we’d love to walk around with a dashing set of teeth like Cheryl’s!
Zac Efron – Spent an estimated $8.5K on straightening & whitening
Zac Efron, the Baywatch hottie, rose to fame as cute teen idol Troy in High School Musical. He has the killer body and handsome face many a man would envy, and many a girl would fall for. It’s hard to imagine he would ever look any less good looking than he does now, but when he grew up he had a gap between his front teeth.
Luckily he had his teeth all straightened and had braces to change his teeth into the perfect smile he has now. He also had some whitening done to make his smile even more dashing. We’d swoon after catching a flash of his smile.
Hilary Duff – Spent an estimated $8.4K on veneers
Hilary Duff rose to fame as young girl Lizzie McGuire in the Disney series with the same name. She didn’t have the all perfect smile Hollywood stars all have, but luckily her generous Disney salary paid for some cosmetic surgery teeth and now she has a smile to die for.
The star has had a successful acting and singing career, whilst also being a wonderful mum. She seems to have had some whitening and straightening done, and had to get a chipped tooth fixed as well. Paparazzi can’t get enough of the all-American lovely smile, and Duff looks as healthy and glowing as ever.
Nicolas Cage – Spent an estimated $81.3K on veneers
Nicolas Cage, an actor with a long and successful career many others would be jealous of, did not always walk around with a set of pearly shiny whites. He is a man so committed to his art, that when asked to have four of his teeth removed during the filming of Birdy he didn’t protest.
He had them taken out and as a solution had veneers put in to replace them. If you look closely you can see the difference between his own teeth and the veneers, but it’s only in a very charming way. The actor will surely continue to grace our screens with his skills and his smile.
Emma Roberts – Spent an estimated $11.5K on braces
Emma Roberts, Julia Roberts’ cousin, has started to build up quite an impressive acting career for herself. She’s appeared in multiple films and series, with the recent Scream Queens being just one of many successes.
As a young girl she needed braces to straighten her teeth, and when the braces were removed her teeth were whitened to complete the process. She now has a wonderful smile, and although she does a lot of pouting rather than smiling, she has nothing to worry about these days. We hope she’ll continue smiling and rising to fame!
Snooki – Spent an estimated $11.5K on straightening & whitening
Nicole Polizzi first caught our attention as party girl Snooki in Jersey Shore. Since then she has almost become unrecognizable. She has spent a fortune on getting her crooked teeth all fixed up and brightened and looks like a whole new woman.
She has also lost some weight and calmed down her party habits, living her life as a responsible mother rather than a reality star. We are happy to see she has found some inner peace and it is amazing to see the difference in her glow with her new, calmer lifestyle and shiny white healthy teeth.
Niall Horan – Spent an estimated $8.6K on dental care
Niall Horan, the cute guitar-playing blond member of One Direction grew up in the spotlight. Although his fellow band members were often a little bit more popular due to their looks, Horan made the decision to really put the money, time and effort into his own appearance.
He spent an estimated $8,6K on his dental care to get his teeth straightened and whitened and has now blossomed into a fine young man, with his debut single Slow Hands breaking records, and the star breaking hearts, all over the world.
Victoria Beckham – Spent an estimated $16K on teeth repair
Before and even during her time in the Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham had a few dental problems, including uneven spacing and other issues. She has since had so much success as a fashion icon and as half of the power couple that is the Beckham brand, that fixing her teeth at any price was no problem.
She now has the perfect shiny white and straight teeth everyone dreams of, yet hardly ever flashes them for the camera. She is known for her strikingly stern looks and immovable facial expression. This makes it all the more a treat when she does put her pearly whites on show!
Cher Lloyd – Spent an estimated $9.5K on whitening & repair
Cheryl Cole’s little prodigy Cher Lloyd got our attention in the X-Factor, where the petite brunette wowed all of us with her strong vocals and fiery attitude. The starlet kicked off her singing career with success in the States as well, where her Hollywood smile was all the more important.
She had the gap between her front teeth fixed and her teeth whitened to an ultimate pearly smile that would make many a paparazzi go wild. We hope her career will flourish and shine as much as her healthy teeth sparkle!
Miley Cyrus – Spent an estimated $11.2K on dental procedures
Miley Cyrus first became famous through Disney’s Hannah Montana but has since become a global phenomenon. Her raunchy dance moves, incredibly powerful vocals and appearances in films have led her to become a superstar both on the screen and in-arena tours.
As a teenager growing up she had a cute crooked smile, but since Hollywood requires nothing short of perfection, she had her teeth straightened and whitened and now has the perfect smile everyone admires. After sticking her tongue out at the audience, she has become more of a smiler, and it is no surprise her nickname is Smiley.
Ben Affleck – Spent an estimated $ 20K on veneers
He may be beating baddies and making ladies swoon as the dark and broody Batman, but young Ben Affleck suffered from buck teeth, with lots of gaps in between his teeth creating a not-so-appealing smile.
The movie star has since made a few trips to the cosmetic dentist to solve his dental issues, and what a result! His new and shiny cosmetic surgery teeth look like the pair of teeth any superhero would be jealous of. We can’t wait to see him back in his bat suit, saving Gotham from The Joker and other villains who try to destroy it.
Catherine Zeta-Jones – Spent an estimated $8K on straightening
Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, famous for her amazing portrayal of Velma Kelly in Chicago, is an absolute beauty. Her grace and elegance, along with her talent, have landed her many a role. Sadly she didn’t always have the looks she has now, and growing up she was often mocked and bullied for having bad teeth and for her appearance in general.
We are so happy to see that she has overcome those bullies and grown into a global superstar. We hope that will teach bullies a lesson; you never know who you are making fun of and that’s not even the first reason why one shouldn’t be a bully!
Celine Dion – Spent an estimated $7.5K on teeth whitening
Céline Dion has broken many records with her amazing voice and heartbreaking songs, such as the legendary Titanic ballad My Heart Will Go On. She rose to fame when she was only a teenager, and although her natural teeth weren’t bad-looking, they weren’t perfect either.
In the ’90s she chose to have some cosmetic dental procedures done to find those perfect white teeth she had always dreamed of. As a result, she now still continues to dazzle audiences with her shiny smile as she belts out big hits all over the world.
Noel Gallagher – Spent an estimated $17K on teeth straightening
Noel Gallagher’s Rockstar qualities are undeniable: for years his music has found its rightful place in the billboards. His heavy rock ‘n roll lifestyle isn’t always the healthiest, and Noel never grew up with naturally beautiful teeth.
He called upon the help of dental cosmetic surgery and spent a fortune on straightening and whitening his teeth so that he now has a wonderful new smile to wow the crowds with. We are so pleased to see just how much a little dental care can change a man’s look, and he certainly looks healthier and happier than ever with his dazzling grin!
Jim Carrey – Spent an estimated $600 on tooth bonding
Dumb and Dumber’s star Jim Carrey is known for going all the way when it comes to his characters. He played his role with a chipped tooth for extra comedy purposes. All it took to change back into Jim was a dental procedure: his tooth was bonded and now he can smile like he used to.
Sources have claimed that the actor uses his chipped tooth as a little party trick, and takes off the bonding to make people crack up. We sure believe that he has the comedy chops to make us laugh with or without a chipped tooth, but we admire the commitment on his part!
Abbey Clancy – Spent an estimated $500 on chipped tooth
English model and TV-presenter Abbey Clancy may have only been the runner-up in British Next Top Model, but she definitely won the race in the long run. She had some small adjustments done by a cosmetic dentist to fix a chipped tooth and whiten her teeth a little bit more.
Now she looks stunning as ever with her wonderfully shiny teeth and gorgeous glow. The 31- year old is expecting her third child and is looking forward to another addition to the family. We are looking forward to seeing the talented Clancy return to the screen, and hope her little sprout is greeted with the loving smile as pictured above.
Louis Walsh – Spent an estimated $4K on whitening & straightening
The sympathetic X-Factor judge couldn’t possibly stay behind when all of the other judges next to him were dazzling the audience with their perfect teeth. Walsh went to the dentist and had his crooked and yellow teeth corrected and repaired, and whitened to top it all off.
It’s almost impossible to believe that he didn’t have any other cosmetic surgeries done, as he looks ten years younger with his new smile. This only goes to show that those high dental bills are well worth it because we can only smile back at his happy face!
Emma Thompson – Spent an estimated $3.5K on teeth whitening
Emma Thompson was already quite a natural beauty when it came to her teeth: they were pretty straight and white to begin with. Yet Hollywood requires more than ‘pretty’, and Thompson went for perfect. The award-winning actress may have had a completely crooked smile for her portrayal in Nanny McPhee, but in reality, she boasts a dazzlingly white smile.
A quick trip to the cosmetic dentist for a few sessions of teeth whitening was all it took, and we are sure the actress feels great every time she catches a glimpse of her new shiny teeth in the mirror.
50 Cent – Spent an estimated $63K on fixing his tooth gap
Candy Shop rapper 50 Cent’s smile is dashing, as he has perfectly straight and white teeth that could swoop many a lady off her feet. But this wasn’t how he always looked. The rapper used to have a crooked front tooth, which caused a little gap between his two front teeth.
The millionaire musician had earned enough money making music, so he could afford a trip to the dentist to repair this little problem and whiten his teeth to boost his smile even more. Nowadays we can’t imagine 50 Cent without his billion dollar smile!
Michael Douglas – Spent an estimated $8.5K on teeth whitening
Michael Douglas’ acting and directing career has certainly been admirable, and he has steadily been working his way to ultimate stardom. Just like his ex-spouse Catherine Zeta-Jones, he took a trip to the cosmetic dentist to whiten his teeth. Hollywood doesn’t look kindly on yellowing teeth, so this was certainly a good decision for Douglas.
Nowadays he is sporting a shiny white smile, that sparkles as much as his Academy Award. His A-list status is certainly solidified as he continues to work on new projects and inspire many others with his passion and commitment.
Tulisa – Spent an estimated $12K on veneers
Singer and ex-judge on the X Factor Tulisa has gone through quite a rough patch recently, but things are looking up. Just like her former colleagues – the other judges on the talent show- she has been to the cosmetic dentist. People used to comment on her crooked teeth and she has admitted feeling less confident because of them.
Now with whitened and straightened teeth, Tulisa seems ready for a come-back. We sure hope to see her sparkling personality and songwriting skills make a reappearance soon on the radio and the screen!
Gary Busey – Spent an estimated $80K on veneers
Gary Busey, actor and reality tv-personality, actually has quite the sad story when it comes to his dental history. He was involved in a motorcycle accident that left him badly injured. He needed surgery on his teeth to get them restored. The star asked for veneers that were a little bit too big compared to his natural tooth-size.
It may sound crazy, but his larger-than-life teeth actually turned out really well for him! The look became his brand, and he has been doing better than ever. He even stated that he is the happiest he has ever been in his life, and we are so pleased that his accident had a positive outcome after all.
