Cosmetic dentistry is the practice of caring for the aesthetics or look of the teeth as opposed to general dentistry which focuses on the functionality and health of the teeth. You would go to your general dentist to get a simple exam and cleaning, x-rays, cavity fillings and more extensive services such as root canals. You would see a cosmetic dentist to correct teeth discoloration with whitening treatments, fix teeth which are chipped, crooked or misshapen with dental veneers, or replace missing teeth with implants.

It is important to visit your general dentist on a regular basis to keep your teeth healthy and strong. However, a visit to a cosmetic dentist, for some people, can be a life changing experience. Here are a few ways in which cosmetic dentistry can change your life for the better and improve your outlook.

  • Cosmetic dentistry can increase your confidence. Cosmetic dentistry can not only give you a great smile, it can also give you great confidence and a boost in self-esteem. Because when you look good you feel good.  This increased confidence can improve your life in many ways.
  • It can help you in the job market or in business. Improving the appearance of your teeth can help you to appear more professional. In addition, when you are confident about your smile, you will naturally smile more. This confidence and professionalism will shine through and will make potential employers or customers take notice. This increased confidence may also allow you to speak up more in interviews and meetings, giving you more visibility.
  • It can help to boost your mood. When you are confident about your smile, you will naturally want to smile more. It has been proven that smiling more has many mental benefits, including improved mood and stress relief. You will also feel less anxiety about your appearance.
  • It can improve you social life. You may be reluctant to socialize or date because you are embarrassed about your smile. Cosmetic dentistry can open up a new world for you by giving you the confidence to socialize and who knows, you may find your dream mate or some new friends.

If you are not pleased with your smile, you don't have to just live with it. A cosmetic dental procedure can not only make improvements in the look of your teeth, it can possibly make improvements in so many aspects of your life.
