Oh, and the tooth thing depends on budget.
Hollywood -CGI, or maybe they are lucky and the actor already lost a tooth, or the actor is a method actor who removes it intentionally...

TV - could be cgi, but most likely a prosthetic tooth for close ups and blacked out for distance shots.

I guess.

That makes sense,
And as far as the method acting goes, is presumably why Daniel Day Lewis has never played an amputee.

What I figured, I'd just rather it was some other artistry.

Toothless stunt doubles, I reckon
Shane McGowan has a glittering Hollywood career beckoning.

Hmm, deffo the black-out for long shots.
But I just can't see someone like Hollyoaks doing that.

Maybe they have fake teeth'n'gums to put over their real teeth, like the "Goofy Redneck teeth" things that was popular a few years ago, I suppose that might work if stretch your lips down far enough.
