The world-famous supermodel and America’s Next Top Model judge, Janice Dickinson, lost her teeth.
It may sound strange but it seems she wears false teeth when she’s out an about, with her admission that she was reportedly ‘so excited talking to my friend that I put my teeth in my napkin and then I couldn’t find them!’ coming as quite a surprise to many of her fans.
She evidently paid a lot for them, eventually enlisting staff in the search for them. She said, ‘These things are so expensive they could feed a small village.’
The revelation has prompted cosmetic surgeons to reiterate the benefits of veneers – a cosmetic procedure that permanently improves the appearance of the teeth, rather than the temporary solution Ms Dickinson has opted for.
With veneers usually made of porcelain fitting over each individual tooth and uniquely made, the fit is perfect and they never have to be taken out. They’re a permanent fix to a crooked or yellow smile and there’s even a new pain free procedure on the market now.
Whereby veneers used to be custom made to fit teeth that had been filed down, the new style veneers are perfectly designed to fit over the tooth, keeping the tooth intact and avoiding the pain that usually comes with traditional veneers. This major development in cosmetic dentistry has an awfully large impact on one’s self esteem and self confidence, with many people admitting that it’s changed their life for the better.
With all her money, it’s a wonder Janice Dickinson is still opting for the removable false teeth usually associated with the elderly, especially considering their tendency to fall out or become loose – unlike the permanent veneer.

I hate my smile, due to some dental work several of my teeth have a yellow tinge that cannot be lightened. I notice it in all my pictures and have become very self-conscious about it. When I have my student loans paid off I would love to fix this situation. I’m very glad to hear about the newer version of veneers so that I don’t have to have my teeth filed. I hate that more then the original problem of the yellow teeth. I cannot imagine how much happier I will be once I have a nice smile again!
