HOW THE STARS SPEND MONEY
- Despite her perfect set of teeth, Lana Del Rey has sported both a sparkly silver tooth cap and a 14K gold crown worth about £200.
- After chipping her tooth on a mic, actress Hilary Duff got porcelain veneers, each of which can cost up to £600. But she quickly had them shortened when several media outlets dubbed them “giant horse teeth”. Ouch!
- Cheryl Cole’s smile is supposedly the one most patients want for themselves. The former X Factor judge spends £9500 a year on straightening and whitening treatments.
- Victoria Beckham says she was afraid to smile as a gap-toothed kid. Not the case anymore – she’s reportedly splashed out more than £25,000 on dental work.
