We all know Lamar Odom from his successful career in the NBA with the Lakers and then his very public relationship with Khloe Kardashian featured on many episodes of the hit series Keeping up with the Kardashians. More recently, the basketball star has veered off into new business ventures, becoming a New York Times Bestselling Author with his memoir Darkness to Light and his appearance as a reality star on Celebrity Big Brother. Now, we know Lamar for his “million-dollar smile” he recently shared with fans via Instagram. The former athlete shared that he spent around $80,000 on a veneer procedure to completely rebuild his smile.

The incredible smile was designed by none other than Haute Beauty Smile Expert and celebrity dentist Dr. Victoria Veytsman.

Veneers like the ones you see on Lamar Odom come along with some wonderful smile benefits for patients who may be the optimal candidates for veneers. If you struggle with confidence in your smile, veneers provide a lot of flexibility for making necessary cosmetic changes to your overall smile. You might be a good fit if you:

• Have generally good oral health
• Have several existing cosmetic issues
• Have uneven or discolored teeth
• Have a healthy amount of tooth enamel

Overall, porcelain veneers require a decent amount of preparation to ensure the patient’s needs are being met. If you’ve decided that porcelain veneers are the right choice for you, you can expect your teeth to be filed to make space for the veneers, and an impression of both the upper and lower teeth will be taken. Following preparation, the patient’s custom veneers are made, which typically takes around 2-3 weeks to complete. Then the teeth will be applied, resulting in some increased sensitivity to cool and hot temperatures over the next few days.

Regular visits following veneer application are critical to ensure all of the proper healing is taking place. Given all of the correct procedures are followed, a set of veneers can last for around 20 years, making it well worth the time and money invested throughout the process. We wish you the best of luck crafting your own million-dollar smile!
