Cosmetic dentistry is a popular field of practice these days, with adults of all ages expressing an interest in altering the appearance of their smile. In most cases, what is sought is subtle improvement. For example, all teeth whitening does is liven up the smile by removing stains. Not such a big deal, right? The thing is, it is a big deal. There are numerous benefits to making those subtle changes (or big changes) that you seek.
The Rewards of a Better Smile
The ultimate goal of cosmetic dental treatment is to obtain a better smile. That alone is a huge reward. But research indicates that there is more to be gained by straightening or brightening or enhancing the smile, things like:
- Loving your results. Most people who want to change something about their smile have envision what they may look like with better teeth. What is so wonderful to see is how surprised most patients are when they actually see those improvements in real life. Changing the smile can change the whole face in a really great way, and this feels really good.
- Loving your smile. Isn’t this the same thing? No. Studies on cosmetic dentistry have revealed that people who love their results from cosmetic treatment often begin to give their smile more love on a regular basis. You know, brushing and flossing daily and actually seeing the dentist twice a year. Clearly, there is a reward for this level of oral care. It might even be lifelong oral health.
- Getting that job. Research also indicates particular advantages for people with attractive smiles. On the professional front, an attractive smile is an asset for the person who wants to get a job, get a promotion, build an empire. On the social front, an attractive smile tells people that we are friendly and successful and have a host of appealing traits.
