AceShowbiz - Tori Spelling, best known for her role in "Beverly Hills, 90210", has always been candid about her personal struggles. In the June 4 episode of her podcast, "misSPELLING", the 51-year-old actress discussed her dental issues with her best friend and dentist, Dr. Kevin Sands. During this heartfelt conversation, Tori shared how her teeth had deteriorated over the years, causing her to shy away from smiling. "I always say I have a fear of the dentist. I let my teeth go to s**t," Tori admitted. "So, how bad were my teeth?"

Dr. Sands didn't hold back in his assessment: "Disgusting, to say the least. They were chipped, discolored. Didn't look like the Tori I used to know." Tori acknowledged the severity of her dental decay, adding, "Yeah, I couldn't smile anymore. I didn't smile. I didn't have a cavity till I was 40. That was all downhill from there."

Realizing that her self-confidence was tied to her smile, Tori decided to gift herself a set of veneers for her 50th birthday. Dr. Sands, who has also worked with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Drake, meticulously reshaped each of Tori's teeth using custom molds to craft individual veneers. "We reshaped each of Tori's teeth. We took these special custom molds and from those molds, we handcrafted each individual tooth, and we just rebuilt her smile like it was 20 years ago," Sands explained. "Now you have a full smile. They're white, gorgeous, sexy. Look at you. You look 10 years younger."

Tori's satisfaction with the results was palpable. "I've never been happier," she boasted. "I smile now. There's a whole new me. People underestimate a smile." Her journey to a new smile has been transformative, not just physically but emotionally as well.
