A beautiful smile is an invaluable asset that not everyone is lucky enough to be born with. Thankfully, dental science has developed a range of treatments to treat both cosmetic and functional dental problems so people can achieve healthier and prettier smiles. In some cases, a personalized treatment plan involving a number of cosmetic and restorative treatments can be the best way for a person to achieve their ideal grin. Here are a few reasons why a smile makeover might be worth considering.
A Smile Makeover Can Give You a Prettier Smile
Not having a smile you can be proud of can make it hard to make an excellent first impression. People who smile frequently are often seen as more confident, trustworthy, and approachable by other people, which makes it easier for them to build connections in the business world and the social scene. If you are embarrassed about smiling due to issues like dental stains, misalignment, or missing teeth, a smile makeover may be just the thing to give you teeth that you’d be eager to flash at friends and strangers.
A Smile Makeover Can Improve Your Oral Health
Misaligned teeth can be harder to clean while being easier to injure due to unevenly distributing chewing force. Over time, this can lead to tooth decay and injuries that require restorative treatments or even extractions and tooth replacements to address. For some patients, a smile makeover can be a way to address issues like these early so that they can enjoy a lifetime of better oral health.
A Smile Makeover Can Make Eating More Enjoyable
It’s hard to enjoy food if you can’t chew it properly. Sadly, many people with misaligned or damaged teeth have difficulty chewing tough and nutritious foods like steak or raw veggies. Treating issues like tooth decay and gum disease while realigning teeth with Invisalign can allow a patient to chew more comfortably so that they can enjoy a wide range of tasty and healthy foods. This can help prevent malnutrition and a plethora of other overall health problems.
Don’t let a troubled smile stand in the way of success and the enjoyment of life. Consulting with your dentist can help determine if a smile makeover is right for you.
