COSMETIC DENTISTRY IS LIFE CHANGING

 

While traditional dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and preventing, diagnosing and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving a person’s teeth, mouth and smile. Today, millions of people turn to cosmetic procedures as a way to improve their overall appearance, self-confidence and image. 

Beautiful white teeth have become a status symbol

Beautiful white teeth are seen as a status symbol, and what use to be only available for the rich and famous is now available to everyday people who are looking to enhance their smile. Cosmetic dentistry offers the solutions to make you more confident, attractive and increase your self esteem ten fold. Thanks to dental technology advancements, you can have a runway-ready smile through a instant facelift or cosmetic smile makeover. 

 

Smile makeovers

The new trend in cosmetic dentistry is commonly referred to as a smile makeover. The goal of a smile makeover is to give the patient a smile that is brighter, whiter, and more even. There are a number of ways you can achieve that perfect smile. Smile makeovers are a combination of procedures, such as whitening of discolored teeth; straightening of teeth with braces; repairing chipped, cracked, broken or decayed teeth with porcelain crowns or bonded composites; replace missing teeth or fill spaces with implants; and correct uneven gums with gum re-contouring. Placing ceramic crowns or veneers on discolored, cracked, broken, decayed or worn teeth teeth can produce dramatic results in a relatively small amount of time. If you want a natural look, all ceramic crowns will match your natural teeth color perfectly and is very durable. Because of these dental advancements, more and more people are having their old crowns and fillings replaced with newer, tooth-colored materials to enhance their appearance and smile.

Any of these procedures and dramatically improve your smile and give you that appearance you’ve always dreamed of.

 

Reasons why patients want cosmetic dentistry

1. Whiter Teeth: People with a beautiful white smile generally show more confidence than those with ugly stained teeth. Tooth whitening is the easiest and quickest and most cost effective cosmetic procedure to give you a whiter and brighter smile in about an hour. 

2. Straighter Teeth: Beautiful white, straight and healthy teeth show well-being and attractiveness and is a desire of each person. A beautiful smile and healthy teeth make you feel great and has a positive effect on one’s social and business life. You could be the nicest person in the world, but if you have crooked or uneven teeth people may think otherwise just because of your teeth. Yes, it’s sad, but it’s unfortunately true.  Crowded  and crooked  teeth can be corrected with orthodontic treatment, porcelain crowns or veneers. 

3. Feel more attractive : A study conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry revealed that 96% off adults believe that an attractive smile makes them  more appealing to the opposite sex.  Approximately, 3 out of 4 people also felt that an unattractive smile can affect their chances for success in their careers. 

4. Replace missing Teeth: No one likes to having missing teeth, is does not look nice and is difficult to eat without teeth. Teeth can be replaced with dental implants. Dental implants are on the rise and fastly becoming one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures done today. 

5. Unattractive Gummy Smile: A “gummy” smile can make your teeth seem almost secondary in appearance to your gums, making your teeth look short and unattractive. A periodontist will quickly and accurately remove those gummy gums with laser gum sculpting, and bring out those beautiful teeth that were hiding for so long. 

6. Feel & Look Young and confident: It’s absolutely amazing what a new smile can do. We’ve seen it so many times. A normal, average looking person will come in to our office and want a smile makeover done instantly. Usually ceramic veneers  and/or bleaching will do the trick. What’s amazing is once the veneers are placed and they see their new, beautiful smile, the real transformation begins. On their next visit they’ll now have a new hair style, new clothes, tan skin, and a new confident attitude. It’s quite amazing to see and we in the dental profession are happy to be apart of it.

7. Restorative benefits: Dental fillings are a common procedure used to treat decayed teeth. Previously most dental fillings were composed of amalgam (metal fillings).  Today, dental fillings fall into the category  of cosmetic dentistry, because you can select fillings made of composite or porcelain materials that closely match the color of your teeth, thus maintaining the natural appearance of your teeth and smile.
