Tamra & Eddie Judge Show Off Their Updated Smiles: "Like Getting a New Car"
The RHOC couple headed all the way to Texas to swap out their veneers.
Tamra Judge and Eddie Judge have more reasons to smile.
On Friday, October 25, The Real Housewives of Orange County couple took fans inside their brief visit to Smile Texas — a Houston-based dental practice specializing in cosmetic dentistry. Tamra teased the trip shortly after she and her husband arrived at the Post Oak Hotel, confirming they were updating their veneers.

“Look at this beautiful hotel. We are in Houston, Texas, and we are headed to Smile Texas to get our permanent veneers put on,” she said in a video. “I’m so excited about getting the temporaries removed.”
The OC mom then posted a video of Eddie standing in the elevator, revealing it was she who convinced him to swap out his veneers.
“Are you excited to get your new teeth?” she asked her hubby. “This is something you never thought you were gonna do. Did I talk you into it?”
“You did but I’m excited. Very excited,” Eddie responded. “It’s like getting a new car.”
Tamra then highlighted a sizable gap in the top row of her husband’s teeth, which was the result of him losing one of his temporary veneers.
“You just had to point that out,” Eddie said.
“Big day,” Tamra continued. “Smile, with your missing veneer on the side.”

The OC ’Wife eventually made it to the office and met with Dr. Mackenzi Mcafee-Dooley.
The doctor explained she would remove the temporary veneers and replace them with the permanent variety. The former are white-colored shells made from less durable material, like dental wax, acrylic, or resin. They're typically removed once the permanent porcelain veneers are ready for installation.
“Are you excited?” Dr. Mcafee-Dooley asked Tamra. “Today’s the day! So we are about to get her temporaries off.”
“I don’t hate my temporaries,” Tamra added.
“No, your temporaries are lovely,” the doctor replied, “but the veneers look insanely beautiful.”
Tamra and Eddie show off their new smiles: "They don't look fake"
Eddie was seen by Dr. Bret Davis, who posted before-and-after shots of the husband’s new teeth.
“Nothing beats the moment when someone sees their new smile for the first time!” Dr. Davis captioned an October 25 Reel.“Today, [Eddie] got to experience that feeling—and the joy was contagious.”
Although the couple was clearly happy with the results, they found it difficult to hold a smile due to the numbness around their mouths. They made light of the struggles in a few more photos and videos, including one in which Tamra couldn’t hold in her drink.
Tamra and Eddie shared another look at the results the following day, once the numbness and minor swelling had subsided.
"I got new teeth, you guys!" the OC mom said in an October 26 video. "I feel so good. What I Iove about them is they don't look fake. They just look pretty and nice. It's not like my teeth enter the room before I do."
