The Famous Faces Who Had Their Teeth Replaced

While it’s common knowledge that celebrities enhance their smiles with veneers and other cosmetic treatments, such as teeth whitening, it’s not always well-publicised that other treatments, like dental implants, are used to replace missing teeth.

And when it comes to losing a tooth or two, celebrities are no exception.

Keep scrolling for the famous faces who have had to replace gaps in their mouths caused by trauma, decay, and gum disease.

Hilary Duff

One classic Disney Channel Star, Hilary Duff, best known for her role as Lizzie McGuire actually lost her tooth hours before her wedding.

“The beginning part of the day I lost my tooth,” Duff, 22, confesses on Friday’s Ellen DeGeneres Show. “Tooth fell out of my hand. Thank god I didn’t swallow it. Not good for a bride on her wedding day… I bit into a bagel. I was sitting on the bed with my mom and my sister, and they’re like, ‘You’re an idiot, you did not. Come on!”

Now, sporting a perfect smile, Hilary Duff has a combination of cosmetic treatments, including dental implants and veneers.

Mike Tyson

Now, with Mike Tyson, you might think you can guess how he lost his tooth.

Known for his two distinctive gold-capped teeth, he made headlines when he lost them, not by a punch in a fight, but from being headbutted by his pet tiger when Tyson leaned in for a kiss.

From this, Mike Tyson had to replace two of his front teeth.

George Clooney

It’s no secret that George Clooney has had cosmetic work done to his teeth, and the result of his smile is proof of several procedures instead of just one.

However, speculation about him having dental implants, particularly during his early career, is widespread.

He had bad teeth and bruxism that led to significant dental work, even though he had not confirmed the procedure himself.

Morgan Freeman

Shawshank Redemption star Morgan Freeman used to have a famous gap between his teeth.

Now, he has a smile that anyone in Hollywood would kill for.

While specific details about Morgan’s dental work haven’t been confirmed or publicly exposed, back in 2008, he lost several of his teeth in an injury sustained from a car accident.

So, it’s likely to restore his smile that Freeman underwent dental procedures like implants to replace the missing teeth.

Demi Moore

American actress and Ghost star Demi Moore has publicly shared that she had lost two of her front teeth (even with photo evidence).

In a 2017 interview appearance on “The Tonight Show“, Demi revealed to Jimmy Fallon that stress was, in fact, the leading cause of her tooth loss.

As stress can cause people to grind their teeth, Demi lost both of her front teeth as a result of stress-related bruxism and turned to dental implants to replace them.

Ed Helms

Known for his role in The Hangover, actor Ed Helms replaced a missing tooth with a dental implant due to a congenital condition that caused the gap.

Congenitally missing teeth happen when you’re bone is without an adult tooth in that spot.

Fun fact: Ed actually temporarily removed the implant during the movie to make the character’s missing tooth look authentic.

Catherine Zeta-Jones

Welsh actress and Oscar winner Catherine Zeta-Jones had actually lost a tooth while filming a fight scene during “The Legend of Zorro” and required immediate dental work to repair the damage.
