Reasons to Consider Getting a Smile Makeover

According to the American Dental Association, 1 in 4 adults avoid smiling because they don’t like the appearance of their teeth. If you’re unhappy with the way your teeth look, it can affect your self-esteem and quality of life negatively. Cosmetic dentistry can help you achieve the smile of your dreams. Here are just a few reasons to consider getting a smile makeover.

Boost Your Confidence

If you’re embarrassed by stained, gapped, broken, or missing teeth, you might struggle with insecurities about your appearance. You may avoid certain situations to prevent unwanted attention drawn to your teeth. A smile makeover will boost your self-esteem by giving you a smile to be proud of. You will feel confident knowing your smile looks its best, improving your overall outlook on life. You just might find you are more socially outgoing and approachable.

Enhance Your Professional Image

You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but a person with an attractive smile is attributed with youth, confidence, and success–all of which are important qualities to have in any career. Researchers have found that a person with a pleasing smile is more likely to be considered for job opportunities. Enhancing your smile will improve your professional image, which just might lead to new career possibilities.

Improve Your Dental Health

Many aesthetic imperfections can affect your dental health negatively, like chipped or missing teeth. Giving your smile a makeover can improve your dental health, which also supports your general wellness. Not only will you achieve a stunning smile, but you can also invest in a healthy mouth and body.

Popular Smile Makeover Procedures

You have more options than ever before to give your smile a makeover. Your cosmetic dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to determine which procedures may be right for you, like:

• Teeth Whitening: Teeth whitening can turn back the clock to get your enamel up to 8 shades whiter.
• Metal-Free Restorations: Ceramic crowns and restorations blend in with your natural teeth.
• Dental Implants: A dental implant replaces both the tooth root and the crown. This gives you the next best thing to a real tooth when filling the gap in your smile.
• Cosmetic Bonding: Cosmetic bonding offers both aesthetic and restorative benefits to fix minor issues using a composite resin that’s shaded to the color of your enamel.
• Porcelain Veneers: Porcelain veneers can address many issues at once using a minimally invasive procedure, like stains, chips, and gaps.

It’s never too late to invest in a confident, radiant smile you’ll want to show off. You’ll enjoy long-lasting results with the correct care, like brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist regularly.
