Are you frustrated by aesthetic flaws in your smile but are on the fence about investing in cosmetic dental procedures? Most dental insurance companies don’t cover the cost of treatments intended to improve your looks more than your oral health. As a result, it’s normal to wonder whether upgrading your grin is worth the investment of time and resources.
But enhancing your smile can provide additional benefits you might not have considered! Continue reading to learn 3 convincing reasons to schedule a consultation with your dentist!
Perk #1: Younger-Looking Visage
Did you know the same person who helps care for your teeth and gums can also help you maintain a younger-looking appearance? Some dental concerns, like discoloration or worn-down enamel, tend to worsen over time and can make you look older than you feel.
Fortunately, your dentist offers different solutions, such as teeth whitening, veneers, or dental bonding to address various aesthetic issues, like stubborn stains, chips and cracks, or stunted or misshapen teeth to preserve a more youthful grin.
Some providers also offer additional services, like Opus Skin Resurfacing, that can result in smoother, more supple skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines that might betray your age.
Perk #2: Improved Oral Health
Once you’ve completed treatment, it’s natural to want to do everything you can to preserve the results. In many cases, the best way to maintain your recent upgrades is by practicing proper preventive care.
For example, you’re less likely to restain your teeth after whitening them if you brush and floss twice daily. Your at-home dental hygiene routine removes plaque and bacteria that give pigmented particles something to cling to. This also helps strengthen your teeth and gums so they’re better able to resist potential problems, such as cavities, gum disease, or injuries.
Perk #3: Enhanced Confidence
Did you know that people with dental issues are more likely to report feeling anxious or depressed? If you’re self-conscious about the state of your smile, you might avoid spending time with others to avoid being judged.
Addressing your concerns can boost your confidence, which can in turn improve your daily quality of life. For instance, you’re more likely to have better professional achievements, establish more meaningful relationships, and enjoy a more active social calendar.
If you’re unsure of the best way to achieve your smile goals, your dentist can devise an appropriate treatment plan to reach them at your consultation!
