How do I know if I'm a good candidate for cosmetic dental treatment?
Pretty much everyone is a candidate for a cosmetic smile makeover!
The bigger question is which services are best for you. Because a
smile makeover is a step beyond responding to dental health
problems, it’s important to first make sure you have a healthy
mouth and any major dental issues have been taken care of prior to
your cosmetic treatments. For example, you may have an underlining
disease causing shifts in your teeth which would fight against the
effectiveness of clear aligners. Or if your teeth are stained from
drinking wine or coffee, then dental veneers would be a more
effective whitening option than bleaching or whitening trays. Once
your oral health condition has been determined, consider asking
yourself the following questions:
• Do your teeth have chips, cracks or wear that you’d like
fixed?
• Are your teeth as white as you want them to be?
•
Do your teeth look too big or too small?
• Does your smile
appear gummy?
• Would you like any gaps or holes fixed?
•
Do you like how your teeth are aligned?
• Are you
self-conscious about any aspect of your smile?
After
all, cosmetic dentistry is about giving you the smile of your
dreams. A perfect smile looks different to different people. Some
may imagine perfectly straight teeth while others may value the
whitest and brightest smile possible. And others still may go for
a more natural look that leaves a few small gaps or color
variations. It’s important to communicate exactly what changes you
want to see in as much detail as possible at your initial
consultation, and Smile by Dr. John Paul will help you determine
the possibilities in terms of your facial balance, oral health as
a whole, schedule, and budget.
What are the benefits of esthetic smile designs from Smile by Dr. John Paul?
It's impossible to overstate the emotional, social and even
professional benefits that smiling with confidence can give you.
If you find that you cover your mouth when you smile or even hold
back your smile because you don't want to show your teeth, you
should consider what cosmetic dentistry — the art of smile
enhancement — can do for you.
Choosing Smile by Dr.
John Paul for your cosmetic dental treatment ensures that you
receive personalized care tailored to your unique needs. With
extensive experience in cosmetic dentistry, John H Paul, DMD are
adept at customizing each procedure to achieve the best possible
results for you. Just a few visits to Smile by Dr. John Paul can
transform your smile, allowing you to confidently showcase your
radiant and beautiful self to the world.
Additional Benefits Of Cosmetic Dentistry
Health & Beauty Benefits Of Cosmetic Dentistry:
• Increases oral health — Removing stains or correcting damage
offers a number of oral health benefits that can leave lasting
effects and prevent problems from arising in the future. Plus, it
is simply easier to keep your mouth clean when it is filled with
straight, beautiful teeth.
• Improves overall
health—For optimal health and wellness, it is vital to eat a
varied diet of foods with high nutritional value. Yet people with
crooked, missing or misshapen teeth often find that they have
trouble chewing certain foods. When you do manage to eat, your
food may not be digested as efficiently, since chewing is an
important first step in the digestive process. Improving your
ability to chew with cosmetic dentistry can help ensure that your
body receives important nutrients and processes them properly.
•
Reduces signs of aging — Even the most simple touchups to a smile
can eliminate wrinkles, crow’s feet and other signs of aging,
leaving our patients with a more youthful, confident and healthier
appearance.
• Can be completed quickly with little
recovery — Most cosmetic dental procedures are fairly quick to
complete and boast of a quick and speedy recovery. This makes it
easier for our patients to customize their makeover plan the fit
their unique schedule. Treatments can also be spread out over time
to accommodate all types of schedules and budgets.
•
Offers beautiful, lasting results — Not only are the results of
cosmetic dental treatments stunning, they are long-lasting as
well! Our most popular smile makeover procedures, such as crowns
and veneers, can last up to 10 years! Other procedures, like teeth
whitening, will require regular maintenance, but when paired with
proper daily hygiene and at-home preventive treatments, the
effects of even just one treatment are lasting.
