Many adults want to change their smiles. Some want to correct problems they have had since childhood (discolored, gapped, or crooked teeth). Others want to fix conditions they've developed over time (cracked or worn-down teeth) to help create a more youthful smile.
If your teeth are dark or worn and make you look older, if gaps or chips make you feel self-conscious, or if crooked or discolored teeth stop you from smiling fully, a Smile Makeover can help. Although every patient's smile is unique, some new smiles are completed in a single visit. A Smile Makeover can redesign the shape of your gums and teeth, and change the overall look of your smile. It's not just about beautifying your smile, although that is of extreme importance. It's also about adjusting your bite so that it is healthy and strong.
Does your smile it say it all?
Although a vast number of Americans understand the importance of a good smile, only half think their smile makes the grade.
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry states:
9 out of 10, or 92.5 %, of Americans agree that an attractive smile is an important social asset.
3 out of 4, or 74%, of Americans agree that an unattractive smile can hurt a person's chances for career success.
Only 1 out of 2, or 50%, of Americans are satisfied with their smile.
For most people, an appealing smile is an important part of the overall impression a person makes. According to an American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry survey:
- More than 92% of adults agree that an attractive smile is an important asset.
- Nearly as many, close to 88%, say they always remember someone with an especially attractive smile.
- 85% agree that an unattractive smile makes a person less appealing to people of the opposite sex.
