How often do you look up to a celebrity and think they were born with a dazzling celebrity smile? One look at our celebrity teeth: before and after veneers and whitening and you'll notice that's certainly not the case and even celebrities have dental issues too!
One perk of being famous is you can usually afford high-end dental work and don't have to wait long to fix wisdom tooth pain. We're talking veneers, professional whitening - the lot. After all, who wants to be caught on camera with a crooked grin?
But, if you're not famous and can't get to a dentist during the pandemic, there are ways you can protect your teeth during lockdown.
Most of our favourite stars have had more than a little helping hand to get those gleaming, white celebrity teeth. So, as tempted as you may be to try and re-create your favourite celebrity smile, some natural teeth whitening remedies are safe to try, while other DIY whitening remedies could damage your teeth.
Celebrities such as George Clooney, Tom Cruise and even Kylie Minogue have all undergone a smile makeover - be it teeth whitening, veneers or dental work - and we've got the pictures to prove it.
Once you've seen these celebrity teeth: before and after, you won't believe the difference a little dental work can have. Get brushing those teeth!
Celebrity teeth: before and after veneers and whitening
Judy Murray's teeth
Andy Murray's mum had a new set of pearly whites fitted just before appearing on the BBC's Strictly Come Dancing back in 2014. And Judy's celebrity teeth are as bright as Andy's tennis whites!
On her new gnashers, Judy told Radio Times, "Getting my teeth done was a big thing for me because I?m really terrified of the dentist and I desperately needed a lot of work. In the past couple of years, though, I've had more time and money and I've started to take better care of my appearance."

Victoria Beckham's teeth
Victoria Beckham may have given her teeth the ultimate whitening makeover since her days in the Spice Girls, but the fashion designer is well-known for rarely flashing her celebrity teeth in public.
But, it's something she's working on as Victoria, 46 - who recently confessed she doesn't have many friends - continues to let her guard down with her adoring fans.
“The not smiling publicly, for instance. There's less of that now," she recently confessed. “There's something really liberating about embracing who I am at 45 years old and owning it, feeling confident, feeling content."

Philip Schofield's teeth
It's safe to say This Morning star, Philip Schofield - who recently revealed he was in the "darkest place" after coming out as gay - looked pretty different when he made his television debut in the eighties.
Back then, Philip sported brown hair and a dodgy smile. But, with his career sky-rocketing, Philip soon had his teeth sorted and now sports a brighter-than-bright set which almost match his hair.

Kylie Minogue's teeth
Everyone knows Kylie Minogue's got amazing celebrity teeth, but it hasn't always been that way.

One of the most shocking celebrity teeth before and after transformations is Cher Lloyd, who is certainly looking more polished with her new gnashers.
The 20-year-old star, who shot to fame after appearing on the seventh series of the UK X Factor, has been busy making it big in America, and it seems she's had a set of all-American pearly white veneers to complete her transformation.
Cher - who recently opened up about her secret family heartache - has previously spoken about how much she disliked her teeth, once telling Alan Carr, "I hate them, I look like a complete and utter rabbit."

Kate Beckinsale's teeth

Same hair, same tan but one crucial difference, Simon Cowell's teeth are at least 20 shades whiter since his meteoric rise to fame.
The X Factor star - who is in talks with Netflix for a whole host of new TV shows - also had new veneers fitted last year. The father-of-one wanted "more streamlined and thinner" veneers, after breaking his back.

Niall Horan's teeth
Looks like the One Direction star has had some dental work since he shot to fame on the X Factor! The singer, who was only 16 when he appeared on the show, had braces fitted in 2010 and since having them removed 15 months later - he can't stop smiling!
The star, who has enjoyed massive success with his bandmates since the show, is proof of how important it is to look after your teeth. Braces might not be pleasant, but they're worth it when you're left with a dazzling grin like this.
