Kingston TN
Smiles are unique and have a huge impact on making first impressions. Unfortunately, you may not be making the best first impression possible if your smile embarrasses you or you have crooked, stained, or missing teeth. More than half of adults in the U.S. report feeling unhappy with their smile, according to one study. If you’re one of those adults, you can feel relieved knowing that cosmetic dentistry could be the answer you’ve been searching for. Dr. James Walmsley and Dr. Josh Walker of LakeView Dental Arts are highly regarded in the Kingston, Tennessee area for offering exceptional cosmetic dental services to adults just like you. But many adults put off fixing their smile for various reasons or they just don’t know where to start. Today on the blog, Drs. Walmsley and Walker share five reasons you’ll want to get a smile makeover now.
What’s a smile makeover?
A smile makeover addresses all smile concerns, not just a single issue like one problem tooth. Smile makeovers are unique and individualized to each patient’s needs but typically combine cosmetic dental treatments to achieve the best results. Drs. Walker and Walmsley use their expertise and skill to yield natural looking results that boost self-confidence. But here are five additional reasons to stop putting yourself last and why you should get a smile makeover now.
Makes better first impressions
First impressions are exactly what the word says, first. Meaning, it’s the what others make about you when meeting you for the first time. And, according to studies, smiles are the first thing that others notice when meeting someone. Therefore, if your smile is subpar or you tend to flash a closed lip smile and not show your teeth, you could be giving off the wrong first impression. However, cosmetic dentistry can give you a smile that makes you feel proud and boosts your self-confidence, especially when meeting others.
Improve oral health
People are more likely to take good care of their teeth when their teeth are nice and straight. They feel like they have a reason to care for their smile. While maintaining good oral health requires effort, you’re more likely to brush twice a day and floss daily if it means maintaining an attractive smile.
Corrects bite or jaw misalignment issues
Misaligned teeth or jaw issues can breakdown teeth or cause significant damage to the enamel, evening chipping or breaking teeth. Cosmetic dentistry addresses these issues by getting to the root of the problem so that your new investment is made to last.
Replaces missing teeth
It’s not uncommon for adults to have one or more missing teeth, especially in the back of the mouth. However, this can affect your ability to chew nutritious food and may cause damage to your other teeth as they absorb more biting pressure. Additionally, missing front teeth can be embarrassing and may cause you to hide your smile. Therefore, cosmetic dentistry offers solutions to replace missing teeth, restoring your smile confidence and bite so that you can eat what you want again with any discomfort.
Is customizable
One of the best reasons to choose a smile makeover is because the treatments are catered to your unique smile needs. Drs. Walker and Walmsley meet with patients for a consultation to determine the best treatments for each case. It’s important to be open with the dentist during your consultation so that they can be sure to address your concerns and how you feel about your smile as well. Then, you’ll receive a customized treatment plan and timeline for achieving your confident smile. You may only require one or two treatments that can be completed in a visit or two, while other case may take weeks to achieve their desired results.
