Diana Raiskaya Dentist at the In White clinic
The whitening procedure itself is painless and harmless. Its essence is to remove tartar - it is this that often causes yellow plaque and caries. But celebrities prefer more radical, expensive, and often not very harmless methods.
5th place: Nastya Ivleeva, 28 years old
What was done: veneers. Finally, the topic of interference in the appearance of a popular TV presenter has been revealed. Nastya, in an interview with Yuri Dudu, explained that she really had her teeth done, but she was forced to do it, following the example of Hollywood stars, because “a public person is simply obliged to have a perfect smile.”
Expert comment : Ivleeva most likely has Lumineers. They are installed easily, without turning the tooth. Thin, light, easy to care for. The only downside of this procedure is the price: from 20 thousand rubles per tooth.
Cost of a smile : minimum 400 thousand rubles.
Life hack: if you have straight teeth, professional cleaning and whitening will be enough for you.
Main indications for whitening
Usually, enamel is lightened for only one purpose - to give it an aesthetic appearance. Yellow teeth with plaque cause discomfort; a person with an ugly smile may develop complexes that prevent full communication with people.
Sometimes doctors recommend a whitening procedure. For example, in cases where the client requires dental restoration or prosthetics. Thanks to preliminary cleaning of the tooth surface from deposits and stones, the dentist will be able to choose the optimal color of the crown or filling. Fillings installed after professional cleaning are completed last longer and cause fewer problems.
4th place: Maria Gorban, 32 years old
What was done: ceramic veneers, lengthening of the upper teeth. While everyone was discussing the actress’s new breasts and face, Maria put on a gorgeous snow-white smile, even too snow-white. But she likes it, and her career is going uphill, which is what the bets were on.
Expert comment: Maria does not hide the fact that she has ceramic veneers on her teeth. Their cost varies from 16 to 25 thousand rubles per piece. In addition to a snow-white smile, onlays make teeth a little longer (the fact is that with age, natural teeth gradually wear down). This service is relatively inexpensive - from 5 thousand rubles.
Cost of a smile : minimum 610 thousand rubles.
Life hack: if you install veneers not on all teeth, but only in the smile area, you can save a lot and at the same time add charm to your image.
Types of teeth whitening in dentistry
- Laser. Using a laser, you can lighten tooth enamel to a color pre-selected by your doctor.
- Chemical. Chemical whitening involves the use of special pastes with a pronounced abrasive effect.
- Mechanical. Lightening by brushing teeth. For this, different methods are used: ultrasound, toothpaste, pharmaceutical preparations based on activated carbon, powders, etc. This method helps if dark plaque on the enamel appears from frequent consumption of caffeine-containing drinks, smoking, or after wearing braces for a long time.
- Endobleaching. The method consists of cleaning the mouths of the root canals from the old filling and applying a whitening gel to the coronal part. It is used for teeth with removed roots and filled root canals, as well as in cases where several external lightening procedures have failed.
- Photobleaching. A special gel containing hydrogen peroxide is applied to the enamel. This gel is then shined with a halogen lamp, which releases active oxygen, which pushes pigments out of the tooth and discolors them. From time to time the procedure has to be repeated.
3rd place: Miley Cyrus, 26 years old
What was done: veneers and alignment. Miley spent her very first salary on a dentist. Uneven teeth and a yellowish color irritated the singer so much that for many years she has been bringing her teeth to an unreal whiteness.
Expert Comment: Apparently she has ceramic or porcelain veneers installed. This is the highest class among veneers. Their approximate cost is 25-30 thousand rubles per tooth (Miley installed 16 pieces). The cost may vary depending on the installation method - with or without turning. These teeth will last 15-20 years with proper care. Miley straightened her teeth with braces and a plate (alignment), which must be worn for at least 20 hours a day; this could cost more than 50 thousand rubles.
Cost of a smile : minimum 750 thousand rubles.
Life hack: bonding, a procedure in which a special polymer gel of the desired shade is applied to the teeth, is several times cheaper than veneers. When it hardens, it becomes invisible. The effect lasts up to ten years.
Professional whitening
If you look at the photo showing teeth before and after whitening in a dental clinic, it becomes clear that going to a specialist gives a guaranteed result. A professional enamel lightening procedure involves influencing dentin with special active substances-agents, due to which teeth become lighter by up to 12 tones.
Professional teeth whitening: before and after photos
The teeth whitening procedure at the dentist most often occurs in several stages:
- Application of special professional bleaches.
- Enhancing the activity of the applied composition by heating the tooth surface with a laser or a special lamp.
- Washing the reagent with water.
- Coating the dentition with a protective fluoride-containing varnish.
The duration of professional whitening ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours, that is, the effect will be achieved in just one session with the dentist.
2nd place: Dmitry Nagiev, 52 years old
What has been done: ceramic crowns, dental restoration, veneers. Dmitry Nagiyev takes care of his figure, has developed his own style - he has brought his appearance to almost ideal. The teeth, of course, could have been made more modest, but he really wanted to keep his signature grin.
Expert comment: Dmitry lost almost all of his teeth, it took a long time to eliminate the consequences of caries, several teeth had to be restored or almost the entire outer part had to be restored. The chewing teeth are protected with crowns and have linings. All this cost Nagiyev a tidy sum, but it will last forever.
Cost of a smile : minimum 900 thousand rubles.
Life hack: regaining lost teeth is an expensive proposition. Good oral care can help prevent serious problems. A very wise and necessary investment in your health would be to purchase an electric toothbrush, dental floss, and a tongue scraper.
Photo whitening and tooth sensitivity
Increased tooth sensitivity may occur as a result of exposure to chemicals and high temperatures. The solution to this problem is proper preparation for photobleaching. Before the procedure, the dentist must conduct an examination of the oral cavity in order to identify the presence of chips and cracks, caries, gum disease and other factors that may be a contraindication to whitening and must first be eliminated. In addition, before photo-whitening, professional hygiene and remotherapy are recommended, as well as the use of special pastes that eliminate hypersensitive teeth.
1st place: Cristiano Ronaldo, 34 years old
What was done: braces on the upper and lower teeth, tooth restoration with composite filling materials, mouthguard. And although Cristiano earned an army of fans with his football play, and not with a snow-white smile, a star of this level has to keep his face.
Expert comment: The football player has come a long way to perfect teeth. It is worth adding that such problems arose due to heredity and unhealthy eating behavior. The braces cost Cristiano about 100 thousand rubles. Restoration of several teeth cost from 5 thousand rubles per tooth. For some time he wore aligners (transparent aligners) for 100-150 thousand rubles. And now he does in-office whitening.
Cost of a smile : minimum 1 million rubles + annual prevention.
Life hack: in order not to let your teeth get into such a state, you need professional dental hygiene at least once a year. This is a professional cleaning during which tartar and soft plaque are removed.

Which Russian stars have veneers?
Veneers are thin overlays. Their goal is to mask visual defects on natural teeth. Stars with veneers have a beautiful smile and an attractive appearance. This makes them popular, memorable and creates a standard of beauty. Among the famous personalities are:
- Nastya Ivleeva is a famous blogger and TV presenter. She put on camouflage pads after she became famous. Nastya claims that a star must have a Hollywood smile, so she didn’t think twice before correcting her bite.
- Yegor Creed is a singer whose concert prices exceed several million. Egor had previously had straight teeth. Cosmetic pads made his smile snow-white and attractive. Thousands of women all over the world want to become Yegor's chosen one, and he acquires the status of an eligible groom.
- Yulia Nachalova also resorted to the help of veneers. Initially, Julia's front incisors were shorter than the rest of her teeth. This forced the girl to take advantage of modern dental opportunities.
- Olga Buzova, a TV presenter and pop diva, never complained about her teeth. They were fairly even, but not snow-white enough. Therefore, the star installed the records, and now her smile looks stunning, which allows the singer to gain millions of new fans every day.
- Alena Vodonaeva - few people can remember the crooked teeth of the former House-2 participant. Long-term correction of the bite and subsequent installation of veneers helped the girl achieve a highly aesthetic smile. Now she shines on the covers of magazines, showing off her incisors.
- Maria Gorban – the actress’s teeth were initially straight. However, the bottom line could not boast of this quality. Ceramic linings helped correct the situation.
Contraindications
It is not recommended to whiten your teeth:
- children and adolescents under 18 years of age;
- pregnant women and mothers during lactation;
- persons with cancer;
- patients with diabetes mellitus;
- while taking potent medications;
- if there are crowns or a large number of fillings on the outside of the dentition;
- if there is carious damage to the enamel or problems with the gums;
- people allergic to citric acid, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and other bleaching agents.
Teeth whitening is not a harmless procedure at all. It should be approached with the utmost caution and responsibility. It is best to entrust this process to a good specialist.
What it is
In fact, the terms “photo bleaching” or “light bleaching” are not entirely accurate. The light itself has no effect on tooth enamel and is not able to in any way affect its color. The technique is based on an active chemical reaction in which light radiation is only a catalyst that stimulates the production of teeth-lightening reagents. The main bleaching agent most often is hydrogen peroxide in high concentration, from which, under the influence of light or ultraviolet radiation, a highly active form of oxygen is formed, which penetrates the dental tissue and whitens them.
Varieties:
- LED is the safest, since LEDs do not produce a thermal effect on the teeth.
- Halogen - a lamp with a halogen emitter is used, which provides minimal heating of tissues.
- Ultraviolet is the most intense type of ultraviolet whitening, accompanied by significant heat generation and heating of the teeth.
Features of whitening procedures at home
There are some nuances that must be taken into account when lightening tooth enamel yourself:
Before and after teeth whitening with baking soda at homeIf in any good clinic in Moscow whitening can be done in one visit to the doctor, then at home it will take much longer: several weeks or even months.
- You will have to do all the manipulations yourself, and this is not so easy. For household use, it is recommended to use less aggressive materials: the same gel should be at least 2–3 times less concentrated than a professional one . And still, before applying the product, you need to make sure that the active substance does not get on the gums, as it can damage the mucous membranes.
- Before carrying out the procedure, consultation with a specialist is required. Only a doctor can adequately assess the extent of the problem and select an effective remedy. All actions before and after teeth whitening should be carried out under the constant supervision of a dentist.
Vertical symmetry and midline.
A line passing through the center of the face should pass exactly between the central incisors of the upper jaw. The discrepancy between these lines causes a feeling of disharmony even with a quick glance at your smile from the outside. In this case, it is not at all necessary that it also passes between the central lower incisors. Firstly, a complete match is rarely found, and secondly, this in no way affects the aesthetic perception of your smile when viewed from the outside.
Possible complications
Most often, negative consequences occur after home whitening. Most people, in pursuit of a beautiful Hollywood smile, do not follow the recommendations for the use of certain products - and their teeth acquire an uneven color.
Another reason why you should consult a dentist before lightening your tooth enamel is the presence of fillings. Only a doctor can predict the reaction of the filling to the bleaching gel reagent and, taking this into account, choose the drug correctly. Otherwise, the material may darken, which will ruin the appearance of the enamel.
It is worth mentioning in the article that the active components of bleaching products can burn the mucous membrane . The possibility of an allergic reaction, increased sensitivity of the gums, and other unpleasant sensations cannot be excluded.
Usually all pathological manifestations go away on their own within a few days. If this does not happen, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible.
Application of silicone mouth guards
The teeth whitening procedure using silicone aligners deserves special attention. This process is carried out in several stages:
- The dentist takes an impression of the oral cavity.
- Production of individual silicone trays in the laboratory.
- Filling the tray with a special gel. Unlike concentrated professional products, gels with low acid concentration are used at home.
- The patient uses a prepared structure according to a special scheme. The mouthguard is worn every day, following the instructions and gradually increasing the wearing time.
- At the end of the treatment session, the oral cavity is cleaned of any remaining gel and rinsed thoroughly.
The condition of the tooth enamel will become noticeably better within a week after starting to wear the mouth guard, but to get a snow-white smile, a course lasting 25–30 days is required.
