How Cosmetic Dentistry Can Boost Your Self Confidence

Cosmetic dentistry refers to procedures and treatments that are designed to improve the appearance of your teeth. The primary goal of cosmetic dentistry is to enhance your smile, although some procedures also improve your oral health. 

If you are dissatisfied with your smile and you think you may be interested in cosmetic dentistry, here are some of the ways it can boost your self confidence. 

Feel More Like Yourself 

If your teeth have become damaged, decayed, stained, chipped, or otherwise altered, you may not feel like yourself. You may look back at old pictures of yourself from years ago and wish you could have that same smile back. Well with cosmetic dentistry, you can. Bring those pictures with you to your consultation and they can be used as a reference to plan the various treatments you may need to recreate your old smile. The goal of cosmetic dentistry isn’t to change you and make you look like someone else, it is to make you look more like your natural self. 

Smile More Often 

When you are self conscious about your teeth, you are less likely to smile. This can have a negative impact on your mood as well as your interactions with others. But after cosmetic dentistry you will be able to smile with confidence, knowing that your teeth look healthy and natural. Smiling more will boost your mood and potentially open up opportunities for new personal and professional relationships. 

Be Ready for a Special Event 

Do you have an important event coming up? Whether it’s a wedding, a family photoshoot, your high school reunion, or any other special event, you want to look your best. Photographs from these events will be forever recorded and you may be reunited with some people you haven’t seen in years, so you want your smile to look as good as it possibly can. 

Cosmetic Procedures and Treatments 

If you’re wondering what cosmetic procedures and treatments are available to enhance your smile, here are some examples: 

• Teeth whitening. Professional teeth whitening treatment provides dramatic results in as little as a few weeks with at-home treatments. The whitening agent is gentle and effective for minimal sensitivity. 
• Veneers. Veneers are thin shells that cover the front side of the teeth in order to conceal imperfections such as chips, stains, crooked teeth, and uneven lengths. 
• Cosmetic bonding. Composite material can be used to reshape teeth that are worn down or chipped. 
• Orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment may include Invisalign and other clear aligner systems, or possibly braces depending on your needs. 

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry 

Will cosmetic dentistry make my teeth look fake? 

With advancements in technology, cosmetic procedures look more natural than ever before. Treatments are designed to make your teeth blend in with your existing teeth in color, shape, size, and texture. 

Is professional teeth whitening better than store bought whitening products?

Professional teeth whitening offers more effective results than whitening products you can buy in stores or online. The active ingredient is stronger, yet more gentle on your tooth enamel. It is also carefully controlled by your dentist for natural and safe whitening.
