Continuing reading to discover how life-changing cosmetic dentistry can be when it comes to improving your look and confidence.
Cosmetic Dentistry: More Than Physical Improvements
Cosmetic dentistry may be known for the physical changes it can make in a person’s appearance, but it also delivers more extensive benefits – ones that positively impact one’s mental and emotional well-being.
According to statistics, 99.7% of adults believe an attractive smile is important – often being the first thing people notice when meeting someone new. Also, an average of 74% of people believe a smile can either help or hinder a person’s professional job prospects and success.
Having a flawless set of teeth and healthy gums can change the way you see, think about, and talk to yourself. If you like what is staring back at you in the mirror, there’s a good chance you’ll remain more confident and happier in all other aspects of life.
What Problems Can Be Fixed with Cosmetic Dentistry?
There are plenty of smile imperfections that can be successfully treated by a licensed cosmetic dentist. They include:
- Stained Teeth: Often developing because of age, stain-causing foods and beverages, and smoking, surface and deeper-level discoloration can be improved with professional teeth whitening or dental veneers.
- Damaged Teeth: When teeth become chipped, cracked, or broken, various cosmetic options can be used to repair the damage and restore beautiful smiles. Your dentist may recommend metal-free restorations or custom veneers. It’s also possible to use cosmetic direct bonding if the problem area is minor.
- Uneven Gums: If your gumline appears uneven, or your teeth are considered “short,” your dentist can recommend a gum lift to help balance out your soft oral tissues, so they create a healthier, more symmetrical smile.
Give your grin the attention it deserves with proven effective cosmetic dentistry. The results will have you wondering why you didn’t pursue treatment sooner but also appreciating your new and more beautiful appearance.
