Celebrity Smile Makeovers Part 3

Celebrities often find it necessary to improve their appearance in order to advance their career. Smile enhancements can include  whitening, veneers, crowns, bridges, braces and even complete smile makeovers in some cases, Since Crystal Lake Dental Associates is dedicated to helping people improve their smiles as well as their oral health, it is fitting that we point out the dramatic improvement celebrities have achieved with their own smile enhancements.  Crystal Lake Dental associates did not provide any of 
the treatment for these celebrities, however we do provide a level of care on par with the examples shown.

Mike Tyson

Michael Gerard "Mike" Tyson (born June 30, 1966) is an American boxer. Tyson was the undisputed heavyweight champion and holds the record as the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF world heavyweight titles. He won the WBC title when he was 20 years, 4 months and 22 days old, after defeating Trevor Berbick by a TKO in the second round. Throughout his career, Tyson became well-known for his ferocious and intimidating boxing style as well as his controversial behavior both inside and outside the ring. After years of professional boxing, it's no surprise that Mike Tyson has had a few knockouts. But if you're going to get new teeth, why ruin a good smile with a gap toothed pair of gold chompers? Thankfully, Hollywood came knocking in the form of 2009's hit movie 'The Hangover,' and the boxer replaced his blinged out mouth with a set of pearly whites – with his trademark gap still intact, of course.

Miley Cyrus

Miley Ray Cyrus (born Destiny Hope Cyrus; November 23, 1992) is an American actress and pop singer. She achieved wide fame for her role as Miley Stewart/Hannah Montana on the Disney Channel sitcom Hannah Montana.

With the success of the Hannah Montana franchise she established herself as a teen idol. In 2007, Cyrus signed to Hollywood Records to pursue a solo career. When you're a young star in the Hollywood spotlight, it's hard to do anything unnoticed. That's why Miley Cyrus' transformation from snaggletoothed tween to picture perfect starlet caught the attention of many fans. Now, Miley's top front teeth are less prominent and her bottom choppers appear to be straighter.

His entertainment career is most centered around his performance stunts on the American TV series Jackass. Of course the first noticeable difference in Steve-O's smile is the drastic whitening process that took his yellow-stained teeth to pearly white. The funny guy's makeover reportedly shut down his dentist's office for a week. "Girls refused to make out with me!" he once told Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" about his new choppers.

During her rise to fame with the late 1990s girl pop group the Spice Girls, Beckham was dubbed Posh Spice, a nickname first coined by the British pop music magazine, Top of the Pops in the July 1996 issue. For a woman who barely smiles, it's surprising that Victoria would to go to such great lengths to perfect her pearly whites. However, Posh doesn't skimp out on anything – especially when it comes to her looks. Despite whitening her once yellow teeth, the former Spice Girls singer is said to not be a fan of her grin, thus adopting her trademark pout to cover what she reportedly calls her 'horsey' molars.

Add in an overly-styled hair ‘do and designer clothes, and he's got the perfect equation for a teen heartthrob. Swoon!
