@moonandthestars  I think it's HRC. I will leave it at that.  Plastic surgery is so commonplace!  The same holds for dental work. It's odd seeing so many with the same ultra white, straight or veneers.  The British actors on the PBS series have a different stance about extensive dental  procedures.

If HRC had plastic surgery, she should get money back.  She is only 75.  Maybe she uses face tape like KK.

Just recently I had a dental makeover. It has taken nearly three years to get here but now I have the smile of my dreams and I couldn't ask for anything more. Had to give up an arm and a leg but I would do it all over again if I had to...plus I only got one arm and one leg left anyways...lol!

@SilleeMee  Your humorous perspective is appreciated.  That's great; revel in your your new changes.

Hi @SilleeMee Congratulations on your new smile!

Do you mind sharing what you did?  I too would like to dream.  I am thinking about getting braces at 60 because my teeth have become crooked.  Not sure it's possible.  Gotta get to the orthodontist.  I have one crown, and am afraid I need another one. 

Can one get teeth straightened with crowns?  I suppose I could google that, and now that I thought about it, I will, but would I love to hear people's experiences.

I had all six front teeth crowned with the shape and size teeth I wanted. My dentist calls them the "social six" ...LOL! They don't look like my original natural teeth at all. They look a lot better, perfect. I also had eight implants plus eight more crowns for those, in the back of my mouth, to complete the process. My bottom front teeth were already good so nothing done there. It's a dream come true for sure. 

This is not my teeth but it's just like mine own. I gave this picture to my dentist and he used it to make my crowns.

I picked those out of these choices:

Thanks @SilleeMee!  Now I have some teeth to think about.  So instead of straightening the tooth, one could get a crown that is straight?  Sorry if this is a stupid question.  Never throught about this possibility...

I think so b/c some of my teeth were crooked and had really wide gaps between them. You would never know that by looking at my teeth now.

Going back to the OP cheek implant subject...

When I got all of my teeth put in my mouth that made a significant change in the appearance of my face, especially in the cheeks, where now they appear to have more fullness than before. Love that!

@SilleeMee Yes, I understand what is going on with the teeth affects the face.  I read somewhere (authoritative type, not bs, just don't remember where) that as people get older, the teeth sort of retract, which makes the mouth sink in (even with all the teeth).  So making the teeth more prominent is actually a youthful look.  Sorry for my inartful language, but I think I am making myself understood.

Congratulations again on the beautiful smile!

Love your sharing of info!  That is always a perfect gift.

And Merry Christmas if you celebrate!
