Your Smile Is Your Most Important Asset

Smile

Smiling with confidence can make the world of difference to one's self-esteem. Studies have shown that people with beautiful smiles look younger and are more successful than those with less beautiful smiles. A beautiful smile will give one confidence in the way we perceive ourselves and how others perceive us. A smile reflects one's inner self. An attractive smile in harmony with the lips and face crowns the beauty of that person's character.

There is no reason today why anyone need be unhappy with their smile. Cosmetic dentistry, including tooth whitening and porcelain veneers is now affordable to everybody - not just the rich and famous! A smile can be improved by simple techniques such as tooth whitening, reshaping teeth by making minor adjustments and replacing discoloured restorations. More severe problems may require greater intervention such as veneers (still minimal tooth substance removed), orthodontics, implants, crown and bridge work etc. Cases such as this would include misshaped teeth, badly aligned teeth, unsightly gaps or discoloured teeth.

Cosmetic contouring is an easy way to alter the appearance of minor irregularities of the teeth e.g. chipped teeth, teeth of varying heights. These can occur as a result of normal wear of the teeth or through trauma eg. sports injury.
