Your smile is your greeting to the world. If you’re uncomfortable with the way your smile looks, it’s projected into all aspects of your life. The way you talk, laugh, and even greet people is affected by your smile. You may look away when speaking to others or hesitate to get close to hide your teeth. Unfortunately it may be assumed you are unfriendly or aloof, even when that’s not the case. Conversely, when you feel confident about your smile, it shows. You are perceived as friendly, successful and self-assured. You’re approachable to others and comfortable with yourself. Fortunately, you don’t have to live with a smile you are unhappy to show. Lewis Family Dentistry offers Smile Makeovers in Vancouver WA. You can have the smile you’ve always dreamed of, in only a few short visits.
If your teeth are relatively aligned but stained and yellowed, teeth whitening may be the answer. Teeth whitening is a simple procedure that usually takes less than an hour and can turn dingy, yellowed teeth into a dazzling, white smile, almost before your eyes. Most children have white shiny teeth, but with age, the enamel thins and stains tend to develop on the teeth turning them dingy and adding years to your appearance. When whitening your teeth, a gel like substance is placed on them to remove the stains and whiten the teeth. Sometimes, a special light is applied to enhance the process. When the gel is removed, a short time later, the teeth are white, shiny and stain free, giving the patient a new youthful appearance. It’s an easy procedure with big results.
Another relatively simple procedure that can turn uneven, cracked, chipped or misaligned teeth into a gorgeous smile is veneers. Veneers are paper thin porcelain pieces shaped as the front of a tooth. The procedure takes two visits. One visit makes the mold to form the veneers. The return visit adheres the veneers to the existing teeth with a bonding agent. This immediately turns a less than perfect smile into a picture perfect smile. Veneers usually last at least 15 years with proper care, so they are considered a long term solution to your smile woes.
