25 Celebrities Who Have Had Their Smiles Renewed

Whether they are whitened, straightened, veneered or replaced, it’s hard to find a celebrity who hasn’t had something ‘done’ to their teeth. Some stars opt for subtle differences with minor dental work, while others make changes that entirely alter the look of their faces. Here are 25 inspiring before and after photos of celebrities who have had their pearly whites (and not-so-whites) worked on.

Before: Tom Cruise

One of Cruise's first gigs was in The Outsiders, and his look was perfect for the role of greaser Steve Randle. Beyond that movie, however, Tom changed up his appearance, beginning with correcting his teeth, which were discoloured and out of alignment.

Multiple cosmetic procedures later, including straightening and whitening, it appears as though Cruise now has a full set of porcelain veneers. Shiny and new.

Funnily enough, she grinned more back in the day, long before she got a set of veneers. Though she's not exactly showing off all her teeth, what you can see is a bright white.

Before: Cristiano Ronaldo

Long before he became ultra-famous, the footballer had a slightly different look. One tooth was growing behind the rest of his teeth, which showed signs of chips. His smile was also gummier, but thankfully he found a good dentist who worked a bit of magic on the soccer player.

He likely had extensive work done, from braces to extractions to wiring. The shape of his teeth have changed considerably, with the gap no longer present, teeth are whiter and even, and his smile is more symmetrical. Oooh, these cosmetic surgeries are covered by insurance in Canada.

Before: LeAnn Rimes

It's been quite the roller-coaster ride for Rimes, or Rimes' mouth, to be exact. It started fairly mildly, with the singer having cosmetic work done via pre-veneers in the '90s. But then things took a turn.

After: LeAnn Rimes

The singer sued her former dentist in 2013, claiming the veneers and crowns she was given between December 2009 and April 2012 caused her more pain than anything else, leading to chronic dental troubles that compromised her ability to perform. As of 2015, she has had 29 dental surgeries (including nine root canals). Hopefully it was all worth it, though from a purely aesthetic point of view, they look fantastic.

Before: Niall Horan

Niall was just a normal teenager and aspiring singer, until that fateful X Factor audition that found him grouped with four other boys. Once One Direction made it big, Niall changed a few things up — like his teeth.

After: Niall Horan

He was happy to slap braces on (the clear ones, so they wouldn't distract too much) during the group's early days, to correct some crooked, almost overlapping gnashers. Not that Horan minded the attention. In fact, he was more than willing to share his dental visits on Twitter, whether he was tweeting about a regular visits or letting everyone know that the braces were finally coming off.

Nic tended to lean towards playing quirky characters, which suited everything about him, from his stature to his style to his appearance.

But this is Hollywood we're talking about, and like many actors before him, Cage underwent extensive cosmetic dentistry — including new veneers — to up his profile. And it worked.

Porcelain veneers, however, have upped his smile to the point where he's like Ross Geller on that episode of Friends. You know the one.

Still lovely, some dental experts have commented that Blunt's veneers are too thick and were unnecessary to fix her already-gorgeous grin. We think she looks gorgeous regardless.

Before: George Clooney

George Clooney has always had a knockout smile. His need for a tooth makeover wasn't purely for cosmetic reasons but rather because of the actor's habit of grinding his teeth.
