A smile makeover can be a major boost to your self-confidence. A smile is one of the first things we notice, the straightness and color are both noticeable features.
As long as your dental health eliminates tooth decay or gum disease, perfectly straight pearly whites are not essential. But if you're not happy and concerned about showing your teeth then you may be slow to smile and reluctant to interact with others, which can severely affect your relationships.
Something as simple as treating yourself to a new electric toothbrush and changing to an intensive whitening toothpaste can make a huge difference to the appearance of your teeth. Or you may need more expert help.
It's not just pearly white teeth that people want but straight teeth too which can be more aesthetically pleasing and can positively impact a person’s oral health.
If braces have been ignored in childhood they can be very effective with adults; a friend of mine has had amazing success with out of alignment front teeth.
It takes a while but over time they will gradually ease the teeth into the desired position. All procedures need patience but it's always worth discussing this process with your dentist.
For those looking to adjust the spacing, misaligned, or chipped teeth, veneers are an option. They are made from porcelain or other materials like resin to cover the whole tooth.
After being molded to fit they are matched to the color of the tooth and bonded on. You may choose to have the coloring of the veneers a whiter shade to showcase the pearly white smile you've always desired.
As with all smile makeover treatments, it is time-consuming and you should be fully committed and confident in your decision. Several trips to a recommended dental specialist requires molds to be taken, waiting for the veneers to be created, and then fitting. But veneers are a permanent solution for someone wanting the dream Hollywood smile.
Dental implants have the longest timeline of almost any dental procedure but the strength, longevity, durability, and aesthetics are often worth it for many patients.
Many years ago my toddler son dived onto me in bed and practically knocked out one of my front teeth. Treatment at the time served me well for many years until extraction was necessary. After a crude first attempt at a bridge when I couldn't bring myself to look at holiday photos, I eventually chose an implant.
This is a permanent and time-consuming process which not only boosts confidence but can help to improve oral health too. Treatment at a respected clinic can be expensive but to me it was worth every penny!
Book a visit to your dentist to discuss the current health and quality of your teeth and discover which option for your own smile makeover might be possible or available.
Regardless of which route you choose, investing in a brighter smile could certainly help to make a positive difference to your self confidence and future!
Believe me it can change your life!
