A whole new kind of ‘bling’ for your smile

Veneers are totally the new grills. For the uninitiated, grills are one of the popular trends with many hip-hop and R&B artists is to get a snap-on "grill", typically made of gold or platinum and occasionally encrusted with diamonds or other gems worth tens of thousands of dollars, for their teeth.
According to the Atlanta Center for Cosmetic Dentistry, as the urban-hop community has adopted dental grills as the cool new "bling," many have experienced the fact that wearing these metal attachments can cause permanent damage to the wearer’s smile. It is common to experience everything from poor fit, bite problems, to irritated gums and decay underneath the crowns or "grill" contributing to bone loss and periodontal disease. So, the Atlanta Center for Cosmetic Dentistry is starting to see a new trend emerge… a "new bling," says Dr. Richard Creasman. A number of wearers are realizing the disadvantages to grills and turning to a more natural-appearing alternative — a beautiful white smile and a chance to look just like Hilary Duff.

"We are now helping large a number of R&B artists and rappers that have come to have these same grills removed and replaced with beautiful new porcelain veneers ," says Dr. Creasman.
