Is
Your Smile Hurting Your Career?
In a survey
conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 74% of adult
Americans who responded believed an unattractive smile could hurt a
person’s chances for career success.
In a business
setting, a confident smile can speak volumes about a person’s
belief in their ability to successfully tackle and complete any task
at hand. There are many cosmetic dental treatment options available
today than ever before for those whose smile doesn’t exude confidence.
Some of
today’s cosmetic dental options include:
Whitening
– The most commonly prescribed cosmetic dental procedure for a
bright smile. There are many options including one-hour in office whitening
and take home bleaching.
Bonding
– An option for chipped or cracked teeth, bonding is a process
in which an enamel-like material is applied to a tooth’s surface,
sculpted and polished for an ideal smile.
Veneers
– An increasingly popular procedure, veneers are ultra-thin, custom
laminates that are affixed directly to the teeth. This is a great option
for closing gaps or disguising discolored teeth that will not respond
to whitening such as teeth stained by medications.
Implants
– Implants are a wonderful replacement for dentures. Implants
are a stronger more attractive option for replacing missing or lost
teeth.
