The so-called "Hollywood smile" is becoming increasingly popular among regular people, not just celebrities, according to a survey by DentaVox of 1,975 global respondents.
The main reason for getting a smile makeover is the desire to look attractive: 86% of respondents perceived Hollywood smiles as more attractive than natural smiles. Survey respondents also said they'd prefer it if their partner had that type of smile.
Additionally, expectations are high for dentists to have a perfect grin. A total of 41% of respondents expected their dentists to have flawless teeth. Many also preferred dentists to have a beautiful smile.
The survey also revealed that high costs and repairs are among the barriers holding people back from getting a Hollywood smile. Nearly 30% of respondents said they don't have the money for it.
