The Hollywood Smile Just Not For Brits
Updated Oct 31, 2008
The Hollywood crowd is known for starting worldwide trends, but there is one trend that isn’t catching on in the UK. According to reports, most people in the UK aren’t keen on the ultra-bright look sported by many celebrities. Dr Oliver Harman from the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry was quoted as saying, “We want them straighter, we want them lighter but we don`t want to go beyond what you`d normally see in nature.”
He went on to indicate that the extra white celeb look is hard to accomplish by bleaching alone, but rather through the use of crowns or porcelain veneers. Referring to the trend as "that almost Barbie look," Dr. Harman stated that most Brits preferred to have nice looking, healthy teeth.
One British celeb who seems to have taken to the trend is American Idol judge, Simon Cowell. Rumors suggest that he wants contestants on the UK show X Factor to undergo whitening at a laser clinic. Written by the CareFair.com Editorial Team.
The Harley Street Smile Clinic agree that we Brits are not looking for that Hollywood Smile fake look, where the teeth are too white and too straight. We are a lot more private/reserved about what we have had 'done' and would rather people looked at our teeth and believed we were just born with perfect teeth, rather than actually went out and bought them!
