How Can Cosmetic Dentistry Instill Confidence?

You may feel self-conscious about your smile, but you don’t have to! There are ways to boost your confidence, and it all has to do with cosmetic dentistry in Studio City. From veneers and crowns to dental implants and teeth whitening, cosmetic dentistry brings many benefits to people of all ages looking to improve their smile.

When you look in the mirror, you may not like what you see. Your smile may be flawed by discoloration, cracks, chips, gaps, or crooked teeth. It’s finally time to do something about it!

Here’s how a great looking smile can impact your life in positive ways:

More Confident Social Life

It can be tough to have a rewarding social life when you are self-conscious about your smile. When you’re afraid to show your pearly whites, you appear more reserved, less outgoing and more reluctant to socialize. But when you fix whatever’s bothering you, whether that involves simple teeth whitening or something more complex like bridges and veneers, you will enjoy a new-found confidence that allows you to smile, eat, and talk more easily. Thus, you’ll come off as friendlier and more approachable.

Workplace Benefits

If you hold a career that requires you to interact with the public or clients, you want your smile to be the first thing they notice. You only get one chance to make a first impression, and a person’s smile is often the first thing people notice. Whether you’re interviewing a new candidate or making a big pitch to a roomful of people, a confident smile makes you look more trustworthy, loyal, confident, and youthful. Hiding a smile out of embarrassment makes you look reserved, stressed, and insincere.

Overcoming Trauma

If your smile was compromised by trauma, such as an accident, altercation, or sports injury, you may be dealing with a past traumatic experience on top of the damaged smile. Cosmetic dentistry can help you recover from that experience. Not only does cosmetic dentistry put you in control of your appearance, it can aid in your recovery, both mentally and physically.

Cosmetic Dentistry Options

There are many ways to enhance your smile, including:

1.      Teeth Whitening

If your teeth have stains or discolorations, teeth whitening is an easy solution. Stains happen over time due to foods, beverages, and other substances such as tobacco, wine, tea, soda, berries and more. Age has a lot to do with it too. Get professional-grade teeth whitening in Studio City to brighten your smile. Here at Studio City Dental Center, we use the GLO Brilliant Teeth Whitening Device in conjunction with Whitening G-Vial Gels and a Whitening Mouthpiece.

2.      Porcelain Veneers

These are essentially thin shells of dental porcelain bonded to the front of your teeth, designed to mask virtually any imperfection. As an added bonus, dental porcelain resists stains.

3.      Dental Bonding

This is ideal for small chips or other imperfections. Your dentist will apply a composite resin to shape your tooth into its desired look. It’s quick (usually just one visit) and painless.

As you can see, there are many ways to refresh your smile!
