What did Simon Cowell do to his teeth?

YOU’RE THROUGH TO THE NEXT ROUND

Exclaimed Simon Cowell’s cosmetic dentist when he completed the first stage of the dental veneer process.

After his higher-than-high trousers, the record company owner is best known for his porcelain smile.

Let’s take a look at what the X Factor judge has had done to his teeth.

The auditions

After a few years of the talent show Pop Idol, Simon launched The X Factor in the UK in 2004 (with the help of a few sidekicks and industry insiders). It involved him as the main judge, along with his pals Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne, telling people whether they had what it takes to be a star or if they should go back to their day jobs.

Fresh-faced Simon didn’t have bad teeth when he began his on-screen career. He had a pretty good natural smile, featuring the odd gap and some slight discoloration.

However, after years of smoking 40 cigarettes a day and lapping up the A-lister lifestyle, things started to shift. Initially, it seems as though he opted for teeth whitening to lift stains and uncover a clean and youthful gleam.

While teeth whitening is effective, it has to be done regularly to maintain the look - especially if you smoke like the SYCO founder - which increases the risk of sensitivity over time.

Boot camp bonanza

When he noticed the popularity of Saturday night entertainment, he branched out to Britain’s Got Talent, before jetting off overseas for American versions of his hit shows, including American Idol, The X Factor US, and America’s Got Talent.

But the more screen time you have, the whiter your teeth have to be. Right?

Dental veneers were his next port of call for a longer-lasting look. It’s not clear whether he chose veneers or crowns, but what we can see is that he chose the brightest shade on the color chart.

In 2019, it was reported he had them redone to make a more dramatic impact. Combined with his Botox refresh and shedding a few pounds, he was unrecognizable at first glance.

His teeth were very white and very straight, looking unnatural and almost uncomfortable.

Smile! You’re through to the live shows

Two years later, Simon ran straight to his dentist for reconstructive work on his veneers, for a much more natural look - though still a bright white shade.

Veneers are pretty tricky to get right and need all hands on deck to get the best smile for your facial structure and smile preferences.

After his next round of cosmetic dental work, the alignment is much neater and more suited to his face shape.
