Kids smile as many as 400 times each and every day. When you are older you become much more self aware, and a good deal of people do not smile as much as they used to.
The reason? A lot of people are embarrassed by the appearance of their teeth or gums, and tight lipped smiling or not smiling at all seems preferable to people asking why you could not afford braces.
Some may hesitate before getting cosmetic dental work, but without good reason. Why avoid something that can improve your confidence, smile, and quality of life?
Assuming you have bit the bullet and now even look forward to getting them done, what can you expect from cosmetic dentistry procedures?
Start With Those Pearly Whites
Cosmetic procedures can serve as an alternative to braces. And, with malocclusions or under bites and over bites leading to irregular teeth and disproportionate jaws, getting your teeth straightened is not just about your looks.
Likewise, teeth whitening treatments can improve your smile and put that spring back in your step. Avoid stained, yellow teeth with peroxide, or oxidation based, treatments or laser surgery.
Do Not Forget About Your Gums
Gums also have a great influence over your smile. Dark gums can be hereditary or a sign of conditions like gingivitis, a preventable and curable gum disease.
Cosmetic dentists have several options to bleach dark gums that are not an indication of a more serious condition.
What value do you place on your smile? True, cosmetic dental work can cost, on average, between 5,000 and 6,000 dollars. To most people, however, that cost is worth a lifetime of confidence and not having to avoid smiling for pictures. See this link for more references.
i think the article states it pretty bluntly, but having uneven teeth or a horrible over or under bite can be really humiliating. people do not have a filter and they will say really hurtful or embarrassing things to you, in public too
i agree, if you can afford it, go for it. i have very large teeth and i always get “horse” comments. it doesn’t matter whether they are directly to my face or whispered behind my back, they hurt. i’d get it if i could afford it.
