Dorit Kemsley debuted a new set of teeth on the 12th season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and in a new Instagram video, a dentist is breaking down how the procedure worked.
Years after Dorit, 50, admitted to having a habit of excessive grinding and revealed that it led to smaller and more sensitive teeth, Dr. Lior Tamir, a California-based doctor specializing in cosmetic dentistry, described how the proportion of Dorit’s new teeth changed her whole look.
“In her before photos, her teeth appear small relative to her lips, with a more muted color and shade. Her after photos show noticeably larger, wider teeth, with her lower teeth redesigned to match, giving her much more lip support and volume,” Dr. Tamir began in the caption of a September 14 post on Instagram. “The goal isn’t just bigger or whiter teeth … It’s a smile with the right proportions for the face it belongs to.”

“What did Dorit Kemsley do to her teeth? If we take a look at the before photos, what you’ll notice is that her teeth were pretty small compared to her lips. The color and shade were pretty muted. If we look at the after photo, you’ll notice that her teeth are significantly larger, much whiter, and give her a lot more lip support,” the dentist continued in the video.
Dr. Tamir went on to say that it also appeared that Dorit’s lower teeth matched the upper teeth with the new design.
“So it looks like she ended up with a full mouth of veneers to give her a much more youthful, robust, and more volume in her overall smile,” he explained.
As RHOBH fans may recall, Dorit sought the help of Dr. Sam Saleh in 2020 when she decided to have her smile redone.
When Dorit initially shared the news of her new teeth, she confirmed that her now-estranged husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, 59, also got veneers.
“I couldn’t be more excited and impressed with my new smile,” she gushed. “PK and I are both so grateful and couldn’t be happier with the results!!!”
Although Dorit is happy with her new look, not everyone is a fan. On Instagram, after Dr. Tamir’s assessment was shared, one person said her teeth looked “too fake and not natural.”
“Too square and too large,” said someone else.
“Her original teeth look natural; the new ones look like they belong on a marionette,” added a third.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 16 is currently in production.
