According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, a smile is a powerful thing. In recent surveys, the academy discovered most people report smiling makes them feel happier. Smiles also uplift those around us. However, if your smile is lacking due to stained, chipped, gapped, or worn teeth, you may find yourself reluctant to smile.
A beautiful, healthy smile radiates health, happiness, and personality. Unfortunately, according to Dear Doctor, 80 percent of us are dissatisfied with our smiles. If you’re one of those 80 percent, what are you waiting for? Your Lombard dentist offers cosmetic solutions to give you the smile you’ve always wanted.
Whether you need minor changes like reshaping and whitening or require more dramatic results through veneers or implants, Dr. Julie Glud at Dental Care of Lombard can help. Contact our friendly team today at 630-629-5700 to set up a consultation.
The Power of a Smile
A person with both healthy and attractive teeth is more likely to smile. This voluntary behavior is proven to improve a person’s quality of life in numerous ways. These benefits can include:
- A longer and more fulfilling life
- Increased happiness
- Increased attractiveness
- An immune system boost
Although cosmetic dentistry focuses on providing aesthetically pleasing smiles, it can complement your overall general and oral health. So, before our dental team can make your teeth beautiful, we must make sure they are healthy first.
Where to Start
The first thing patients should do before seeking cosmetic treatments is to figure out what makes them feel insecure about your smile. Here are some questions to ask yourself:
- Do I dislike the color of my teeth?
- Do I have cracks, chips, or tooth wear that make me look older?
- Do I have a gummy smile?
- Do I have gaps between my teeth?
- Do I have crooked teeth?
If you said yes to any of these questions, make a list of the changes you want to make. Next, take that list and a picture of what you want your teeth to look like to an experienced cosmetic dentist like Dr. Glud.
