You only get one set of adult teeth in your lifetime. Do you feel like you are "stuck" with the set that you have? There are many adults to feel that they could benefit from whiter, straighter teeth or even just MORE teeth. When it comes to finding a new job, meeting new people, or just going about your day, whether or not you have a smile to show off can make the difference between a good day and a bad one. More than half of adults would say that if they just had another set of teeth, that their lives would be drastically changed.

A lack of self-confidence can be discouraging. Starting with the restoration of your smile can really be a self-esteem and confidence booster! Teeth that are decaying, broken or left untreated can account for chronic tooth pain, and difficulty speaking and eating. Missing teeth that haven't been replaced with implants cause bone loss and an aging appearance. Restoring your smile with a simple whitening, crowns, fillings, or filling in gaps can take 10 years off your age!

Most dental offices thrive at the opportunity to help those suffering tooth problems to restore their confidence and get their life back. Often a smile makeover is in store and will bring the desired results from someone seeking out a confidence boost. A smile makeover is a detailed process with many factors that must be taken into consideration. The goal is to make the new smile look natural and beautifully blended in with the patient's mouth and face shape. Some of the aspects dental professionals consider are:

  • Tooth shape - the shape and length of teeth play a big part in making a smile seem more masculine or feminine or older or younger. The dentist may look at old photographs to try to match the natural appearance of the patient's youth as much as possible.
  • Tooth color - of course we all want white teeth, but it is possible to go too white. The dentist may choose a slightly less brilliant white for an older patient to make the smile look more natural. A good rule of thumb is to choose a color that is not whiter than the whites of your eyes.
  • Tooth proportions - the dentist will examine the teeth to correctly proportion each one against the other teeth so the two central front teeth are dominant and the smile line appears natural.

I really appreciate your article, it was just fantastic. Smile makeover is an important process in cosmetic dentistry. It is the process of applying any one or a combination of various cosmetic dentistry procedures with the purpose of improving the person’s smile. You can restore your smile with porcelain or resin veneers. Dental implants can help return your self confidence as you deliver a full smile with beautiful teeth. Having dental whitening services done professionally can help restore and rejuvenate your smile. Keep it up with those ideas.
