You’ve probably heard or read the term before – on television, billboards, in magazine ads – but what exactly does that mean, “smile makeover”? A smile makeover can range from simply getting the teeth professionally whitened (and brightened!), all the way to a full-scale, multi-process endeavor that includes whitening, and one or more of the following: • Porcelain veneers • Crowns • Implants • Bridges • Full and partial dentures In a nutshell, a smile makeover means whatever it takes to make you happy with your own set of pearly whites – with appropriate guidance from your dentist, of course! Health Benefits, Life Benefits We’re all aware, or should be by now, of the health benefits reaped from good oral hygiene. This, of course, includes not only healthy teeth, but disease-free gums. Tooth and gum disease not only cause a pain-filled existence and an inability to eat properly, but have been linked to everything from strokes to heart disease to pancreatic cancer. But the appearance of our teeth also plays a crucial role in our lives. Studies have shown that the way our teeth look affects such fundamentals of life as landing a good job or establishing relationships. It doesn’t take much to understand how an employer, when faced with two prospective employees of equal background and experience might quite naturally – and possibly quite unconsciously – select the candidate whose teeth did not repulse. It’s also more than understandable how first impressions of the dental kind could make or break any possible future relationship between two people in the market for a soul mate. It’s Easier Than Ever Everyone needs to establish a routine of good oral hygiene – daily brushing, flossing, and those twice-yearly visits to the dentist for the sake of their overall good health. But nowadays, as we realize that appearances do matter, it may be time for some of us to consider “making over our smiles.” Why not enjoy the benefits of the latest technology and dentistry advances such as CEREC technology, no-needle sedation and new materials used to create beautiful artificial teeth or to vastly improve the ones with which we were born? A good smile makeover begins with finding a good cosmetic dentist. The first step he or she will take is to check the health of your teeth and gums, and improve it if necessary. Good dental health is the foundation of a beautiful smile. Then in short order you will also have teeth that can make you always ready to grin, and that will make you feel confident – ready to go out and live life to its fullest.
