Cosmetic Dentistry: More Than Just a Pretty Smile

While cosmetic dentistry is known for improving the appearance of your smile, more and more patients are realizing the other benefits that can be gained with their investment. When teeth are straight, balanced and aesthetically pleasing, it often creates a healthier and more functional smile as well. If a smile makeover could offer both beauty and function, would you consider it a more worthwhile investment?

The Versatility of Cosmetic Dentistry

Every smile is unique, and each patient has their own level of concern about their dental imperfections. Fortunately, you’ll find that the versatility of cosmetic dentistry allows for simple corrections such as brightening stained teeth or repairing teeth that are misshapen as well as more advanced procedures such as dental implants for replacing missing teeth, porcelain veneers or gum recontouring. Regardless of which smile enhancing procedure you choose, you can be sure to walk away with more confidence in your smile. In fact, most patients feel and look younger after their smile makeover!

A Confident Smile is Both Healthy and Beautiful

A beautiful smile goes a long way in terms of how others perceive you and how you feel about yourself. When you appreciate your smile, you are also more likely to take better care of it. This often translates into better attention to nutrition, lifestyle and cleaning habits.

A healthier smile can also be fostered through cosmetic dentistry when the teeth are straighter, more even and properly spaced. Imperfections such as wide gaps can often trap food and create a breeding ground for decay.
