Roman Reigns’ Smile: Has It Changed?

Let’s start with what everyone is asking—did Roman Reigns get veneers?

If you’ve watched Roman Reigns start out in The Shield (2012-2014) and followed his journey to “The Head of The Table,” maybe you noticed his smile looks different. In older photos and shows, Roman’s teeth looked pretty normal, a little different in color and shape, just like most people.

Fast forward a few years. Suddenly, his smile is brighter, more even, almost like a movie star. Fans started talking online, asking, “Did Roman Reigns get dental work?” or “Are those veneers?”

Why do people care so much? It’s not only gossip. Smiles are important. They make you look good, give you more confidence, and for someone like Roman Reigns who’s always on TV, a smile can even help his whole career.

Let’s see what’s true and what’s just talk.

What Are Veneers, Anyway?

Imagine your teeth are like a painting. Over time, they might get chipped, stained, or a little crooked. Veneers are like a new cover for your painting—thin pieces made from porcelain or resin, shaped to go on the front of your teeth.

How do they work?

  • The dentist takes off a thin bit of your enamel (not a lot—just enough room)
  • They shape the veneer and glue it on your tooth
  • The result? Instantly whiter, straighter, and more even smiles

Veneers can help with:

  • Teeth that are stained and don’t get whiter with normal whitening
  • Small gaps or teeth that aren’t exactly lined up
  • Fixing little chips, cracks, or odd shapes
  • Making your smile look balanced and healthy

Think of veneers like a real-life filter for your teeth—but not just on your phone.

Want to see how they’re made? You can look at a veneer lab where skilled workers and new tech make these for a lot of celebs.

Why Celebrities (and WWE Superstars) Choose Cosmetic Dentistry

Getting your teeth ready for TV isn’t only about looking good—it can help your work. Imagine being Roman Reigns. Every close-up on Raw or SmackDown, every time he talks, people are watching. His look matters.

Here’s why so many stars choose veneers or similar dental work:

  • Looks Matter: A big smile shows you’re healthy and confident
  • On Camera: Straight, white teeth look good on TV and big event screens
  • Personal Brand: A strong smile becomes part of your look
  • Career Advantage: Small issues get covered up, letting you shine

In wrestling, being a sports star and a celebrity go together. WWE superstars are like actors too. As their story changes—from “The Big Dog” to “The Tribal Chief”—so does their style.

It’s not just Roman, by the way. Fans notice that others like John Cena, The Usos, and The Rock have all had smile upgrades during their careers, too.

Veneers, Whitening, Orthodontics: What’s Really Going On With Roman Reigns?

Okay, smile detectives—let’s look at what might have happened to Roman’s teeth.

The Case for Veneers

Check out YouTube or “then and now” photos. In Roman’s early days, his teeth looked normal: a bit uneven, a softer white color, just like most guys. Around 2015, they suddenly look super straight, evenly cut, all the same white shade.

Why does this “all at once” change look like veneers?

  • Whitening alone can’t fix how teeth are shaped or lined up
  • Veneers make that “perfect smile”—even, bright, and smoother than natural teeth get
  • You can fix many teeth at once with veneers, which is common for celebs

Dentists spot veneers by their strong shine, matching lengths, and how they flash on camera. Natural teeth, even with whitening, don’t always look this “perfect.”

Other Dental Options – and Why They Don’t Add Up

  • Professional whitening: Great for color, but doesn’t fix chips or make all teeth the same shape
  • Braces or clear aligners: Can make teeth straighter but don’t make them whiter or fix chips right away
  • Dental bonding: Good for small chips, but can’t totally change a full smile like Roman’s

Bottom line? It’s likely Roman Reigns got veneers. When smiles change this much so quickly, veneers are usually the answer.

The Big Impact: Roman’s Smile and His Superstar Persona

Let’s talk about how a new smile can change everything, for Roman and for you.

WWE is more than just wrestling. It’s about the story and how people look. When Roman changed from “the new guy” to the main event superstar and then to “Tribal Chief,” his whole style got an upgrade—including his smile.

Confidence and How You Come Across

Have you seen how a real smile makes someone look more confident? On TV and in the ring, Roman now stands out even more. When he smiles, it looks cool and powerful—and it helps his character look stronger.

Branding

A sharper, straighter smile goes right along with Roman’s new WWE role. The “movie star smile” is now part of what he shows the crowd, just like his tattoos or his wrestling gear.

What About Your Smile?

You don’t need to be in a main event to care about your smile. When you feel good about your teeth, you look better in photos, meetings, and everyday life. For some people, that’s reason enough to look into things like veneers—even for a small change.

FAQs About Roman Reigns’ Teeth

Let’s answer a few questions seen a lot online.

Q: Did Roman Reigns have “bad” teeth before?

No—not at all. His old teeth looked normal and healthy. They just weren’t super straight or super white. Just regular, like most people.

Q: When did Roman Reigns get veneers (if at all)?

There’s no official answer, but pictures show a big change happened about 2014-2015. That’s when his smile got people’s attention on TV.

Q: What dental work did Roman Reigns have?

Only his dentist and Roman himself know for sure, but most dental pros and fans say it looks like veneers. His teeth changed shape, color, and line-up all at once, which whitening or braces can’t do alone.

Q: Do a lot of WWE wrestlers get veneers?

Yes, many top wrestlers have improved their smiles—to fix damages in matches, look better on TV, or just for their brand. It’s a part of the job for TV stars.

Q: How much do veneers cost? Could Roman’s set be really expensive?

Veneers are not cheap. Porcelain veneers (the strongest, most natural) cost about $900 to $2,500 for each tooth. Most stars get 8-10 for their top teeth, so it can cost $10,000 to $40,000 or more. Some clinics use a china dental lab for more options.

Should You Consider Veneers? Who’s a Candidate?

Thinking about changing your own smile? Veneers aren’t only for celebrities. But they help best in some certain cases.

You might be a good candidate if:

  • You have healthy teeth and gums but want to fix chips, a little crookedness, or change shape/color
  • Stains haven’t gone away with normal whitening
  • Your teeth are strong (veneers only cover the front; they don’t fix really bad or broken teeth)

You might not want veneers if:

  • You have serious decay, gum trouble, or a bad bite (fix these first)
  • You grind your teeth a lot (although a night guard dental lab can help sometimes)
  • You don’t want to make a permanent change—after enamel is removed, you’ll always need veneers to look right

Real talk: Not every smile has to be like a celeb’s. Sometimes just good brushing and subtle whitening is plenty.
