Ways a Smile Makeover Can Change your Life

Louisville, KY

First impressions are everything, and our smiles are usually what people notice about us first. When people aren’t confident or happy with their smiles, they can sometimes feel withdrawn, and they avoid smiling or hide their teeth when they do smile. Teeth that are crooked, missing, crowded or stained make people feel self-conscious. This is no way to live.

But don’t worry. Our cosmetic dentists in Louisville have big news that we know you can smile about! No matter the current shape of your teeth, our smile makeovers can completely restore your smile and confidence. Read on to find out more …

What’s a smile makeover?

Unfortunately, with age comes normal wear and tear on our teeth. Our own lifestyle and habits, such as the foods and beverages we consume, can stain our teeth and erode tooth enamel, making the teeth look dingy or appear yellow. Involuntary habits such as clenching or grinding of the teeth during sleep can lead to chips, fractures or broken teeth.

Fortunately, dental technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years. In as little as two weeks, our Shepherdsville cosmetic dentists can incorporate one or more of our cosmetic dentistry procedures — including professional teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, gum contouring and dental implants if needed — to reverse signs of aging on your face and bring your youthful smile back to life.

How can a smile makeover improve your life?

Everyone deserves to live life being comfortable in their own skin and proud of their smile. Did you know that when you smile, your body releases endorphins, serotonin and dopamine — all neurotransmitters that help you feel good? A smile is a natural (and free) antidepressant. There are other ways that a smile can drastically change your life. Our cosmetic dentists in Jeffersonville compiled the following list:

Oral and overall health

A smile makeover can address and correct teeth that are crooked, stained, damaged and misaligned. All these issues make it difficult to thoroughly brush and floss the teeth. Studies show that unhealthy gum tissue from poor oral hygiene increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease.

Social life

According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the large majority of the population perceives a smile as an essential social asset. A great smile makes you look happier and more attractive. Confidence boosts mood and inspires people to take better care of themselves, perhaps leading to them wanting to go out more and meet new people.

Professional life

A bright, confident smile can make you look more healthy, confident, capable, accomplished and intelligent. This is critical in a job interview and the workplace. Image is important to success, and first impressions matter.
