Celebrities have always been at the forefront of style and glamour. But what many don’t realize is that even the most iconic smiles often have a secret—celebrity dentures. From George Washington’s famous false teeth to modern-day stars, the world of celebrity dentures holds captivating stories that span centuries.
Fun fact!
Everyone knows George Washington wore dentures and by the time he reached the age of 22, he had only one tooth left. While they weren’t made of wood, the first President of the United States did indeed have false teeth.
