Celebrities often feel larger-than-life, like they can’t possibly have anything in common with us regular people. But the truth is that many of your favorite actors and musicians aren’t born perfect, and that includes their smiles. Several of them have undergone dental treatments, such as getting dental implants in Columbia. Here are a few examples of celebrities who have replaced their missing teeth with dental implants.
Mike Tyson
This boxer, who was made famous in the late 80s, suffered quite a few blows during his career. Following his retirement from boxing, Mike Tyson elected to repair his smile with dental implants to give him the confident grin we see on him today.
Gary Busey
Gary Busey is well-known for his large, bold smile. He was involved in a serious motorcycle accident and required a considerable amount of dental surgery afterwards. He chose to replace his pearly whites with the big and memorable set of dental implants for which he is famous to this day.
Ed Helms
His character in “The Hangover” can be seen sporting a missing tooth. You might think they accomplished that with makeup, but the truth is that Ed Helms has been missing a few teeth for more than 20 years! He simply had his dentist remove one of his implants before the shoot of the movie.
George Clooney
This actor’s swoon-worthy smile actually suffered a lot at the hands of bruxism, a condition where you grind or clench your teeth unconsciously, usually while you sleep. As a result, George Clooney’s teeth underwent some serious damage, which he fixed by replacing some of his pearly whites with dental implants.
Chris Rock
Chris Rock is famous among both the comedy and social activism scenes, with a smile that can really light up a room. He understands how important it is to have a great smile, especially in showbusiness, so he opted to replace some missing teeth with implants.
Morgan Freeman
Known for his smooth, warm voice, Morgan Freeman used to have quite the gap between his teeth, as well as yellow teeth. He corrected his smile with a combination of dental implants and professional teeth whitening.
Christie Brinkley
In 1994, this actress was in a helicopter crash that broke two of her molars. To repair her damaged smile, she later received dental implants. To this day, she is known to gush about how much they helped restore her smile and self-confidence.
