Tori Spelling has given her fans an inside look at the veneer procedure that boosted her confidence levels and made her “smile again.”

But now Spelling no longer hides her teeth thanks to her best friend, celebrity and beloved dentist Dr. Kevin Sands.
Both Spelling and Sands shared a video chronicling their makeover, from their consultation to the day they officially got their veneers placed.
“I’m getting a new smile from Dr. Sands. It’s so weird for me to say that. Kevin and I have been best friends since we were 15,” Tori, who got her veneers in May, explained during her appointment.

“You had the most beautiful teeth!” Dr. Sands insisted.
“Yes, I did,” she replied in a wistful tone.

Tori candidly described how her teeth had “destroyed” her confidence levels over the years, despite them once being “her thing.”
“When I was younger, my smile was my thing,” Tori explained. “But then as I got older, I stopped paying attention to my teeth.”
“When I talk to people, I raise my hand and that has taken a lot of confidence out of me,” she added. “I’m really excited because Kevin is going to give me a whole new smile.”
Tori first received a set of temporary veneers.
In the two weeks since having the temporary shields placed, Tori has noticed an increase in her self-esteem.

Tori agreed with Sands’s stark statement. “Yeah, I couldn’t smile anymore. I didn’t smile,” she said. “I didn’t have cavities until I was 40. It was all downhill from there.”
After years of hiding her smile, Tori contacted Sands and they decided veneers were the way to go.
“I wanted you to look like the old days, the sexy little Tori I know,” Sands said, before explaining the procedure.
“We reshaped every single one of Tory’s teeth. We took these special custom molds and from those, we handcrafted each individual tooth and rebuilt her smile as if it were 20 years ago,” he said.
“You have a full smile now. They’re white, beautiful, sexy. Look at you. You look 10 years younger.”
Tori is absolutely delighted with the result. “I’ve never been happier. I smile now. I’m a completely new person. People underestimate the smile,” she raved.
