    Veneers became standard some time ago. Have to go back 20ish years to reliably find actors with actual teeth.

    Probably cuz talent agencies low-key require perfect teeth when they sign on. At least for likely US American talent agencies.

    Before shooting his first really big blockbuster movie, they required Ben Affleck to get veneers.

    But after they get they’re perfect teeth, no one knows that they’re going to get cast later as the homeless poor character.

    Nobody goes into acting hoping to play homeless characters. They’re all hoping to be stars of some kind. So they’ve had their teeths did to prepare for a lead role some day.
