In Hollywood, flawless teeth have become essential, pushing veneer costs to $60,000 and creating challenges for make-up artists. This shift, driven by advances in orthodontics and social media scrutiny, has led many actors to opt for perfect smiles, although not all are onboard with the trend.
While actors like Willem Dafoe and Kirsten Dunst embrace their natural imperfections, the majority of A-listers now choose veneers for a flawless look. Top veneer specialists, such as Dr. Sam Saleh and Dr. Kevin Sands, focus on creating natural-looking enhancements tailored to each individual.
Despite the pursuit of perfection, the high costs of veneers are a concern, particularly for emerging talent. Talent reps question the investment, given the financial strain on young actors. Casting director John Papsidera notes that while veneers are valued, they are not a primary factor in casting decisions.
