Smile Makeover

Benefits of a Smile Makeover

A smile makeover can improve your appearance in many ways. However, there are benefits of this cosmetic dental treatment that go beyond the way your face and smile look. You will also gain a boost of self-confidence. This could even lead you to a new promotion at work or a relationship.

What is a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is a series of dental treatments that are designed to improve a patient’s smile. These treatments may include teeth whitening and options to replace missing teeth. Before a smile makeover begins, the dentist will meet with the patient to discuss the patient’s goals for the makeover. The patient may wish for straighter teeth, a whiter smile or a smile that is less “gummy.” The dentist will then be able to develop a customized treatment plan for that patient.

Good first impressions

Making a good first impression is imperative for any relationship, especially for ones at work. The first impression is what will stay with someone whenever they think of that individual. Whether a patient is looking for a relationship, a new job or a promotion at work, a beautiful smile can go a long way. People usually have higher opinions of other people who smile often.

Self-esteem boost

A little bit of self-confidence can make a big difference in an individual’s life. A smile makeover can enhance an individual’s self-image enough that the individual wants to interact with other people. A bright smile is a great way to break the tension in an awkward situation. Smiling can help individuals feel less nervous.

Smiling boosts mental health

When an individual has a great smile, that individual will naturally want to smile often. Smiling is good for the health. It stimulates the brain to release neuropeptides, which send messages around the entire body. Neuropeptides can decrease an individual’s stress by stimulating hormones such as dopamine and serotonin. These hormones are known as “happy hormones” because they increase an individual’s happiness.

Improved oral hygiene

Sometimes, a smile makeover can even improve an individual’s oral hygiene. After the time spent getting a beautiful smile, many individuals will work hard to maintain their smile. People who have gotten smile makeovers can be more careful about brushing, flossing and regular visits to the dentist.

Better overall health

A smile makeover is not all about the looks. Patients may have sensitivity to hot or cold foods, or it might be difficult to eat hard foods. This can make it difficult for patients to get a balanced diet that includes fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoiding these healthy foods can put patients at risk for many health conditions.
