Your smile is your best asset. From your boss to your friends to your partner everyone notices your smile and their star attraction: your teeth. When your teeth are crooked, missing or all of those lattes and red wines have made them less than pearly white it's easy to become self-conscious about your smile. Cosmetic dentistry is becoming more popular as more people realise the value in having a smile they're happy with, but it can seem like a big investment. People are often surprised by how quick and affordable modern cosmetic dentistry is in comparison to traditional dentistry. Cosmetic dentistry is a worthy investment for some reasons you may not have considered.
Improving confidence. If you're worried about your teeth your confidence takes a battering. You can't relax and let your true self shine. Cosmetic dentistry helps give you a smile you can be proud of and the difference to your self esteem can be astounding. You won't need to worry about smiling or showing your teeth when you smile. Instead you'll be looking for opportunities to show the world your amazing smile.
Anti-ageing effects. We subconsciously associate a straight and gleaming white smile with youth. Cosmetic dentistry can takes years off of your appearance in just a few quick and comfortable appointments.
Healthier gums. Did you know that cosmetic dentistry can improve gum health? Misaligned teeth make it harder for you to brush and floss effectively no matter how good your technique is. The more difficult it is to remove bacteria and plaque, the more likely you are to end up with gum disease. That beautiful straight smile you gain from cosmetic dentistry will also help your gums, which can, in turn, reduce inflammation in your body and improve general health.
Long lasting changes. A quick trip for cosmetic fillers or anti-wrinkle injections may improve your look temporarily, but the effects can disappear in a matter of weeks. Cosmetic dentistry offers long lasting improvements to your appearance. You can reap the rewards for years to come.
Prevent future damage. Just as one bad apples spoils the bunch, one bad tooth can spoil its neighbours. A missing tooth can lead to other teeth drifting changing alignment or can put extra pressure on neighbouring teeth, leading to decay or cracking. Getting the problem fixed now via cosmetic dentistry techniques such as implants protects your smile for the future.
A qualified and experienced cosmetic dentist can help you apply these benefits to your individual situation and your unique smile.
