Smiles are so important and veneers so prevalent in Hollywood that actors and other industry professionals with yellowed or crooked teeth can look out of step and have difficulty landing jobs. "An actress in her late 30s just came to me because she was getting callbacks but not getting hired," says Beverly Hills dentist David Keen, who counts Liev Schreiber, Johnny Depp and Amy Poehler among his patients. "We did a smile makeover, and right after she landed a sitcom.
For industry insiders, machine-cut veneers won't do. Handmade facings, layered on in an artistic and complex process, duplicate the translucent appearance of a natural tooth, keeping top dentists and their ceramicists in high demand. "It's about who is behind the brush now, and the patients are very specific," says Sands. "Women will now say, 'I want edges that are more rounded and feminine,' " adds Lituchy.
