Dental implants are the most natural-looking tooth replacement option available, so it’s no surprise that even A-list celebrities love them. Entertainment giants can’t afford to trust anything second best, and these restorations blend in so well that you’d never know who has them. Here are a few famous faces who have invested in dental implants to keep their smiles looking iconic.
Christie Brinkley
Christie Brinkley has long been one of the most recognizable supermodels in the world, and her smile is a big part of that. After being involved in a severe helicopter crash while backcountry skiing, two of her teeth were fractured, along with other injuries to her face. For someone whose career demands exceptional appearances, implants were a natural choice to keep her pearly whites perfect.
Kathy Ireland
After face-planting into her brick driveway while enjoying some family time on a toy wagon, Kathy Ireland turned to implants. Like Brinkley, Ireland has been open about maintaining her smile over the years and has sung the praises of her dentist, who she credits with restoring her confidence.
Steven Tyler
Steven Tyler was getting ready while on tour in Paraguay when a severe bout of food poisoning made him dizzy. He fell in the shower, injuring his face and breaking two teeth. Afterward, he opted for dental implants at a local dentist, who was able to get him back on stage the very next night. Today, the implants keep his smile looking youthful and strong.
Ed Helms
Ed Helms, best known as Stu from The Hangover, had a dental implant placed after his front tooth never grew in. This made it very convenient during filming when his character needed to lose a tooth. His dentist simply unscrewed the implant for filming, creating a very no-CGI moment where Stu pulls out the pearly white.
Mike Tyson
It may come as no surprise that a heavyweight boxer has lost a few teeth over the years. Tyson’s dentistry has been more public than most, including the gold tooth he originally got as a tribute to his idol, boxing legend Jack Johnson. After retiring from the ring, Tyson underwent an extensive dental makeover that included implants to restore his smile.
If dental implants can hold up under the scrutiny of Hollywood cameras and packed arenas, they can certainly hold up for everyday life. If you’re missing a tooth and wondering what your options are, implants are worth a conversation with your dentist.
