Why Keira’s ‘wonky’ teeth are smiles ahead
DAZZLING white veneers like those of Simon Cowell or Cheryl Tweedy were once a must-have for anyone after a celebrity smile.
But the new trend is for ‘wonky’, natural-looking teeth, according to a Harley Street dentist.
Dr Mark Hughes says he has seen a shift away from overly uniform
teeth to ‘a more natural smile with perfectly imperfect teeth.’
Celebrities such as US pop singer Ariana Grande and Keira Knightley are known for their ‘wonky smiles’, while A-listers Margot Robbie and Jessica Alba have shied away from bright white smiles and porcelain veneers.
Dr Hughes said clients now wanted ‘to add more natural or unique features that make that smile look real’.
He added: ‘It is the opposite of asking for straight square white blocks of teeth. Often celebrities with a more natural look are used as examples of what the patient is trying to achieve.’
Dr Hughes, who is one of the UK’s top cosmetics dentists, says he gets several requests a week to alter and reshape veneers which are too uniform and white.
