Comments (7)


Is there any bigger turn on than a set of well-aligned, pearly white teeth? A well-groomed dental situation can be the difference between getting that phone call for date number two and another lonely night. Thankfully, some of our favorite celebrities have smiles we can use as motivation to keep our chompers healthy and beautiful. While they have the bucks for the best dental care there is, there are a number of things we can do at home to achieve the same results. Here, in no particular order, are the Top 15 Celebrity Smiles, and a few tips for maintaining your own.


1. Kerry Washington

This beauty has a smile as bright as her career. To achieve a smile like Kerry Washington's, try using a water pick. They are easier to use and less painful than regular old dental floss. Using one twice a day in addition to your daily dental regime is a surefire way to keep your teeth in tip top shape. Try the Waterpik Cordless water flosser. ($34.99, waterpik.com)

2. Jada Pinkett-Smith


Think you can pull a hottie like Will Smith without a sparkling smile? Just check out the teeth on his wife Jada! Add a brightly-colored blush to the apples of your cheeks. The pop of color on your face will make your teeth look whiter. Try Mac Powder Blush in Frankly Scarlet. ($18.50, maccosmetics.com)


3. Nia Long

Much like her a beauty, Nia Long's smile has withstood the test of time. To get this ageless look yourself, try using Crest 3D White Strips. While it is not recommended for usage on crowns or for people with sensitive teeth, it can be a miracle worker for those with less fussy grills. They're easy to apply and don't take much time. Perfect for the woman on the go. ($29.99, 3dwhite.com)


4. Holly Robinson Peete

Being on daytime television every afternoon means teeth that sparkle are a necessity. Holly Robinson Peete pulls this off flawlessly. To achieve the bright white of Holly's teeth without spending lots of money, try a good, old-fashioned whitening toothpaste. Colgate Total: Whitening is strong, but not overpowering, and leaves your teeth feeling incredibly clean. ($5, drugstore.com)

5. Gabrielle Union

As if the gorgeous skin and stunning eyes weren't enough, Ms. Gabrielle Union has teeth of perfection. They're straight, they're shiny and they leave plenty to be envious of. If you're working with a budget similar to Gabrielle's and want to get pricier with your tooth care, try Go Smile Whitening System. With an $89 price tag, this easy to use set will keep you looking like you just stepped out of the dentist's chair. ($89, sephora.com)


6. Paula Patton

Whether it's because she's pregnant or holding hands with her sultry crooner husband, Paula Patton is always glowing. Coax out a smile, and you may need to break out the shades. This woman exudes all things graceful and that cheerful grin is just the cherry on the sundae. To make your smile shine, go for a bold lip shade as Paula did here. Similar to the blush, the pop of color right next to your teeth will make them shimmer. A great option is Revlon ColorStay Overtime Lip Color and Top Coat in Infinite Raspberry. ($9.99, walgreens.com)


7. Kellita Smith

You can be certain that spending hours a day with the late great Bernie Mac resulted in hours of laughs. What better set of teeth to watch chuckling away than those of Kellita Smith? With looks that could kill, that amazing smile just adds to her beauty. Luster's Weekend Tooth Whitening System is just the thing to get you a similar look. It's inexpensive, quick and painless. Perfect for the busy mom. ($10, lusteroralcarestore.com)


8. Jill Scott

Soulful diva Jill Scott has a voice as big as her smile. She's been making us all melt for years with her singing, but it's her smile that captured our hearts. To get this lovely lady's sassy smirk, try Go Smile On-The-Go Teeth Whitening pen. It's small enough to fit in your purse and is perfect for a touch-up before a big meeting or hot date. ($22, sephora.com)


9. Rihanna


Since she's hit the scene, we've been in awe of this gorgeous singer. She's tall, sweet and genuinely talented. With a life as hectic as Rihanna's, keeping up that sexy smile to be on our list has got to be hard. She, however, makes it look super easy. Want to rock a platinum smile like hers with a busy schedule to match? Go for Rembrandt Two- Hour Whitening Kit. It will keep your teeth looking just as fabulous and you can do it while multi-tasking. ($22.99, Rembrandt.com)


10. Tyra Banks

Being a supermodel and entrepreneur can take quite the toll on your life, but Tyra Banks makes it look easy. Though she is no longer gracing the runways, she looks every bit as hot as she used to and her pearlies are no exception. Want to mimic her look? Consider Listerine Vibrant White pre-brush rinse. Not only does it help to freshen breath and strengthen teeth, it helps to make teeth as bright as possible. ($3.99, listerine.com)


11. Halle Berry

Known worldwide as one of the most beautiful women in the world, Halle Berry doesn't need any accessories - that majestic smile is more than enough! Who knew that it only took a cheap home staple like Arm & Hammer Baking Soda to get a show stopping look like hers? Just dampen your toothbrush, sprinkle a bit on and use as normal toothpaste. It also neutralizes acids in the mouth to keep breath fresh. ($1.09, amazon.com)

12. Janet Jackson

Janet Jackson captured our attention as Penny on "Good Times" and continues to astound us as an accomplished singer and one of Tyler Perry's go-to stars. As we've watched her grow over the years, her innocent smile is the one thing that has always stayed the same. If you're a woman with a little extra time on her hands, go for the alcohol- and sugar-free BreathRX Three Step Starter Kit. While you'll have to do a little more work, this kit is a great way to give yourself a winning smile and top notch breath. ($19.99, store.breathrx.com)

13. Angela Bassett

Angela Bassett undoubtedly has the kind of presence that makes everyone take notice when she enters a room. What better way to highlight such poise and elegance than with a fabulous set of teeth? If you're a woman that wears lipstick, try applying a small amount of Vaseline petroleum jelly to your teeth. This classic beauty queen trick will prevent any lipstick color from showing up on your teeth. It doesn't hurt that it also makes your smile shiny. ($2.99, drugstore.com)

14. Sessilee Lopez


Jetsetting to multiple countries and walking some of the world's most famed runways would take a toll on the average person. Not Sessilee Lopez. This stunner looks fantastic no matter where she is. If your schedule is as crazy as Sessilee's probably is, use Listerine Whitening Quick Dissolving Strips. You can put these on as you're running out of the door and go about your day. The strips dissolve on their own, so you won't be stuck in the house waiting for your timer to tell you to remove them. These are great for the everyday busy woman. ($16.99, drugstore.com)

15. Iman

Wife, mother, supermodel, cosmetics guru - is there anything Iman can't do? It seems like she has it all, so that she would have a gorgeous smile is not at all surprising. If you're a woman into natural products, opt for Burt's Bees Natural Toothpaste. Cranberry extract, a major ingredient in this toothpaste, has natural whitening and tooth strengthening power. This is a great and simple way to keep your set shining. ($5.00, burtsbees.com)
