Has Clooney had a smile lift?
George Clooney appears to have had a smile makeover, a cosmetic dentist has claimed.
The 47-year-old actor sported an extra bright smile at the Costume Institute Gala in New York earlier this month, reported World Entertainment News Network.
After examining the photographs, cosmetic dentist Jonathan Abenaim told Star magazine that Clooney looks like he has had a "smile lift".
He explained that this involves laser treatment on the gums which results in more of the teeth being on show when the patient smiles.
"It fills out his face more and makes him look younger," he said.
Mr Abenaim added that the Ocean’s Eleven actor also looks as if he has had porcelain veneers fitted to correct his previously crooked smile.
"When you grind your teeth, they get shorter," he said. "To restore the original look the dentist has to lengthen teeth with porcelain veneers."
George Clooney has recently split from his model girlfriend Sarah Larson, People magazine has reported.
I didn’t know he had a dental lift. I think he’s had a mini facelift. Compare the way he looked in The Man Who Stared at Goats to the American. In TMWSAG, he had sagging cheeks & jowls. He was thin & haggard looking. He was no longer extremely handsome. In the American he looks like an attractive older man (but not as handsome as ten years ago). The cheeks are no longer sagging, the jowls are tight. Even with plastic surgery, he’s no longer the most handsome man is show business. Even his clone, Taylor Hicks, is better looking than he is.
