How to fix Ali Lohan's veneers

Make Me Heal's blog recently did a post about Ali Lohan's new dental veneers. Lohan is the 15 year old sister of starlet Lindsay Lohan.

"Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer, “Ali Lohan’s veneers do not look natural. They look more like dentures.”

While dental veneers are commonly used to achieve a white, bright smile, they can make a person look odd or older if they do not mimic natural teeth by having variations.

Dr. Paul S. Nassif, a facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon and a rhinoplasty specialist in Beverly Hills, California, says “By having perfect teeth, Ali looks actually unnaturally. The veneers need variation in character to achieve the natural look. Unfortunately, Ali has gotten a manly look with these perfect teeth!”

One of the surgeons even recommends rhinoplasty to make her look more feminine.

Everyone interviewed in that post is a plastic surgeon, so here's our take as dentists: we agree that she looks far too manly with these veneers. The error could be accounted to the patient, the lab, or the DDS who performed the procedure. The main problem is that they're far too flat.

We don't know what color or shape they were in before the veneers (due to airbrushing), but this could be an improvement.

Luckily, the solution is simple: re-contouring her veneers would make them more rounded and less prominent. It takes about 30 minutes and has a dramatic result! So not to fear.

  1. This remind me of my veneers. Well, at least I am a man. I think Ali should have been more careful in choosing the right procedure to be done to her teeth. Good thing my dentists (Myrtle Beach) in South Carolina are very keen in doing dental diagnosis. I haven't got any problem with my teeth so far.

  2. Dental veneers are custom-designed shells of tooth-like ceramic material that, when applied over the surface of a tooth, can cover worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment or spacing, and chips or cracks.
    Dental veneers fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry because they create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. Even better, the translucent ceramic quality of today's veneers provides a more natural look than what's been available in the past.

  4. Veneers protect and make our teeth looks pretty but over doing it could make our teeth look like animated or cartooned. We should scrutinize thoroughly the background of our dentist before going through procedures. Research how competent is the dentist. Chicago has plenty of reputable dentists that never compromise their job for anything.

    My sister had porcelain veneers (Chicago) a week ago. She looks good with it. And through her influence the whole family wants to go to her dentist at the same time.

  6. It's good to keep in mind that the goal of cosmetic dentistry is not to get to a cookie-cutter image of Plasticine perfection. Ali Lohan's veneers demonstrate a misdirection towards perfection that has become an ingrained part of society. The goal of undergoing veneers or any other cosmetic dentistry procedure should be for the individual to get their OWN best mouth.
