Reasons to Invest in a Smile Makeover

If you’re not happy with the way your teeth look, you’re not alone. Not everyone hits the genetic jackpot when it comes to flawless teeth. Not to mention, various factors can affect their appearance, like accidents, smoking, or decay. Although you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, 99% of adults agree that an attractive smile is an important asset. However, 67% of adults are self-conscious about their teeth. You don’t have to hide your smile any longer. Here’s why you should consider getting a smile makeover.

Improve Your Dental Health

It’s true that chips, cracks, and crooked teeth can be unattractive, but they can also affect your dental health. Fixing certain aesthetic flaws can improve your oral health. With your dental health linked to your overall wellness, an attractive smile can be an investment in a healthy mouth and body.

Boost Your Self-Esteem

Poor confidence not only affects your quality of life but also how others perceive you. You might be standoffish or avoid certain situations because of your insecurities. This can make you appear unapproachable, which can harm personal, social, and work relationships. Addressing your imperfections will boost your self-esteem, so you might find yourself smiling more often. You’ll appear happy and confident, which also might change your outlook on life. 

Enhance Career Prospects

The clothes you wear aren’t the only thing to influence your professional image. 74% of adults believe that an unattractive smile can hurt career success. A person with a pleasing smile is associated with youth, confidence, and success. Revamping your pearly whites just might lead to new career opportunities.

Various Treatment Options

There are many solutions to address common cosmetic complaints, which means there’s a solution to fit your needs and your budget. Your cosmetic dentist will examine your mouth to determine which procedures might be right for you, like:

• Porcelain Veneers
• Teeth Whitening
• Invisalign
• Metal-Free Crowns
• Direct Bonding
• Gum Recontouring

Cost-Effective Options

You don’t have to be rich to achieve the smile of your dreams. The diversity of treatments available means there’s a solution that accommodates your budget. In some cases, your dental insurance may even cover some of the costs for any medically necessary procedures. Many dental practices also accept third-party financing, like CareCredit. You can make monthly payments for any out-of-pocket expenses to keep a picture-perfect smile affordable. 

It’s never too late to invest in a stunning smile. You can’t put a price on the benefits you’ll gain by giving your smile a makeover.
