It may be time for a change

Cosmetic dentistry has been in existence since dentists started restoring teeth and thereby improving the looks of smiles. It is essentially any dentistry intended to improve the aesthetics of a smile. When we look in the mirror and like what we see, we get a boost in confidence, and it sets the tone for the day. We meet the world with a winning smile and a self-assured air; however, if we see flaws in our smile, the tone for the day isn't good. It can lower your self-esteem and even cause you to avoid social situations. If you see flaws in your smile, cosmetic dentistry can help you put on a fresh face and smile at life.

If you are considering smile enhancement, it should start with two smile analyses. The first, a personal analysis by you, and then a technical analysis will be conducted by your dentist. Before seeking cosmetic treatment, you should look in the mirror and decide what you do like about your smile and what you don't like about your smile. Define the flaws that you perceive, and be ready to explain them to your dentist. It is important that you know the results you desire and communicate your wishes clearly.

During the consultation, the dentist will listen to your concerns and goals and then conduct the second smile analysis. Listen carefully as your dentist explains what is and is not achievable, it is crucial to have realistic expectations. Your dentist may recommend other possible changes to your smile. Clear communication between you and your dentist can make the difference in pleasure or disappointment with your new smile.
