It’s good for your self-esteem to be proud of your smile. But if you’ve always felt self-conscious about your teeth or worry that others are judging you for your unsightly smile, there are things you can do to transform all or just some of your teeth. There is no better time than the present to celebrate your smile, whether you opt for cosmetic dentistry, restorative dentistry, or a combination of both.
1. Prioritize Dental Care
The best way to take care of your oral health is with dedicated daily oral hygiene and visiting your dentist every six months for a teeth cleaning and exam. This preventive dental care ensures that teeth and gums stay as healthy and bright as possible, and any problems are recognized and treated quickly. Even if you aren’t planning to invest in any major cosmetic dentistry, a teeth cleaning with a thorough buffing of tooth enamel delivers a shinier brighter smile for weeks. That’s something to be proud of.
2. Ignore Pop Culture Beauty Standards
It’s easy to be transfixed by the stunning, white, perfect teeth you see on influencers and celebrities, but the best smile makeover is the one that suits you best. For some people, this might mean porcelain veneers, which do deliver that elusive perfection in every way. For others, it might be a professional teeth-whitening treatment that makes perfectly imperfect teeth look amazing. Whatever you do, avoid comparing yourself to others. Celebs and talking heads can inspire the look you want, but aim to find your unique perfection with the help of your Red Bank dentist.
3. Be Honest with Yourself
Many people try to alter their teeth using photo filters or attempt to disguise their dental imperfections with closed-mouth smiles or pursed lips, but the only true difference you can make to your appearance that will be visible in every picture or video is with the right kind of dental care. This smile success begins by being honest with yourself about what’s wrong with your teeth, how they can be improved, and how your Red Bank dentist can help you achieve your goals and make you proud of your smile.
4. Make a Change
If you have always been embarrassed by the condition of your teeth or overall smile, it’s time to act. Upgrade your look permanently with a customized smile makeover. This can include cosmetic dentistry, like veneers and tooth-colored fillings and porcelain crowns, which transform the appearance and strength of your teeth simultaneously. Some makeovers involve more advanced dentistry too, like dental implants or Invisalign, which beautify and correct your smile at the same time.
