How to Get a Great Smile

Posted on: 18 September 2017

Smiling makes you seem more attractive, confident and approachable. If, for any reason, you're feeling too self-conscious to smile, you may want to visit a cosmetic dentist.

Cosmetic dentistry is an area of the oral health world that boosts your appearance. Knowing just which treatment your dentist can use to improve your appearance is the first step in enhancing the way you look.

Whiter teeth could make you more attractive

Cosmetic dentists offer teeth whitening, which involves using a specially formulated solution to lighten the shades of your teeth. While you can buy products to do this yourself, they're not as strong as the solutions provided by your cosmetic dentist, and therefore, they're not as effective. One study conducted by Orbit Complete found that 69 percent of people find women more attractive when they're smiling than when they're wearing makeup. If whiter teeth give you the confidence to smile, you'll look more attractive instantly.

Straighter teeth will boost your confidence

Did you know that your cosmetic dentist provides teeth straightening too? They can achieve this through devices such as Invisalign braces, which straighten your teeth without looking unsightly during the process. Your cosmetic dentist may even consider an Inman aligner, which is the fastest way to deliver straight teeth. Or, there are lingual braces, which rest behind the teeth and act as an extra-discreet option.

Studies suggest that people who smile regularly come across as being confident, which is an attractive feature in itself. If crooked teeth are affecting your confidence, you may want to consider braces.

You can gain a celebrity smile

When you're looking for a complete smile makeover, you may want to consider porcelain veneers. Your dentist will use your natural teeth as a base for the veneers. Many patients benefit from results in as little as two weeks, which means it's a much faster alternative than waiting for braces to work.

As an option favoured by celebrities, veneers are highly desirable. However, it's worth bearing in mind that you may need a replacement every decade. That aside, installing veneers arguably leads to the quickest and most aesthetically pleasing results, allowing you to enjoy an enticing smile in no time.

If you're seeking ways to transform how you look, always keep your cosmetic dentist in mind. With a few non-invasive and invasive approaches, they can boost your smile, straighten your teeth, and give you a sense of confidence that'll turn heads.
