Rita Ora leads the way in the glam stakes as the secrets of celebrities red carpet smiles have been revealed
RITA Ora looked stunning on the red carpet at a pre-Grammy's bash - flashing a pearly white smile and some blinging tooth jewellery.
With awards season upon us, the Brits, Grammys, and Oscars, Rita Ora's celebrity dentist, Dr Richard Marques, whose clients at his practise include Jamie Redknapp, Ashley James and Tom Daley, and double Grammy winner Dua Lipa, reveals just the tricks you need to get an celebrity smile - in just under an hour.
1. Teeth cleaning with Airflow:
The airflow is an amazing machine using bicarbonate and water to naturally remove stains and leave the teeth looking cleaner and brighter without using peroxide.
This is a 30 minute appointment leaving your teeth looking amazing after just a short amount of time.
It’s really good for removing stains from tea, coffee, red wine and berry smoothies (or even smoking!) and this treatment is really popular with celebs such as Ashley James.
Speaking about her tooth bling, Dr Richard said: "Rita Ora looked amazing at the pre-Grammy bash. Her gold tooth jewellery could be either removable or permanent. It is likely that this is a removable piece of custom tooth jewellery that is made by taking an impression and creating something that clips over the tooth. Her current gold tooth jewellery is described as a “gold window veneer” which means that it shows the tooth underneath with just a rim of gold around the tooth. "
Price for teeth cleaning with Airflow: from £200
2. Teeth Whitening:
Laser in-clinic teeth whitening takes just one hour (with complimentary top-up trays).
This treatment is really popular with many celebrity patients including Rita Ora and Tom Daley.
The Olympic champ and new dad keeps his smile gleaming with this treatment that can be done in a lunch hour.
Price: from £950

3. Aesthetic reshaping (contouring)
This is shaping the teeth to achieve a better look. For instance to round off the “fang” sharp end of canine teeth. It is often used to level lower incisors teeth so they are one length. We can even do full mouth aesthetic reshaping which is creates a more even look of the teeth without using braces. We call this new treatment “no braces” teeth alignment and the treatment takes just one hour so can be done in a lunchtime! It’s popular with my celeb patients such as Oliver Proudlock (Made In Chelsea) and You Tuber Niomi Smart.
Price: £1900 whole mouth (or from £300 per tooth)
