LA dentists use teeth whitening and veneers to match a patients teeth after teatment.

Dentists in Los Angeles are making an extra effort to match the colour of teeth they work on for patients in a bid to make it appear they have not had any work done.

Mr Shahab Akhavan of ladentist.com claimed Zoom teeth whitening has become a popular treatment, as it allows patients to get a brighter smile without irritation to the gums.

He noted: “Therefore, you are now able to have brighter and whiter teeth without the uncomfortable feeling of having sore gums.”

Mr Akhavan added dental veneers are also often used, as they can cover any defects in teeth and be colour-matched more easily.

Elsewhere, a recent survey of 2,227 adults by Harris Interactive on behalf of RealSelf.com showed 54 per cent of US adults hope to have teeth whitening treatments next year.

It revealed the majority of Americans are in favour of achieving the Hollywood smile and teeth whitening could be the best way to do this.
