When it comes to love, your smile is important. Your smile conveys so much emotion, whether it’s on display or covered up. The lack of a smile sends messages to potential partners – such as, don’t kiss me. Even worse, maybe you reveal your broken-down smile as part of your authentic self, inviting in some affection, but kisses are sparse because, well, who wants to kiss someone with gross teeth? A smile makeover can minimize your romantic woes and improve your kissability factor.
What’s in a Smile?
Your teeth can be crooked or gapped or perfectly imperfect. You can embrace what you were given, or pursue cosmetic dentistry, if your oral health is in good shape. The problem arises when your teeth are stained, loose, missing, broken, or discolored. Your smile may be genuine but your teeth will look unhealthy, which makes you look unhealthy, which doesn’t make anyone want to pucker up.
Your smile is so much more than just a sign that you’re happy. A confident smile also means that oral health is in good condition and you have no discomfort. Much of the time, when a person’s teeth are out of alignment or damaged or decayed, they’re difficult to live with, whether they cause TMJ, make it difficult to eat, or just leave you in pain most of the time.
Smiling is important to make you more attractive to others, but it also helps you feel better about yourself. A good smile will draw potential matches to you. However, the teeth in your smile need to look good first.
The Path to a Smile Makeover
A smile makeover does not have to be incredibly invasive or in-depth. Some patients have very stained teeth, but a professional teeth-whitening treatment may be all they need to spruce up their smile. All the better to kiss with!
The patients who are experiencing tooth pain will find themselves looking at restorative dentistry procedures before they can undergo any cosmetic dentistry. You can’t put veneers or Lumineers on top of teeth with cavities or a mouth full of gum disease.
Thankfully, smile makeovers are comprised of any dental treatments, and they are customized to your needs specifically. Restorations like porcelain crowns and dental implants double as cosmetic improvements because they look like natural teeth. The most important element is to get your mouth healthy so you can go after the aesthetic improvements you want and make your smile utterly irresistible.
Be Kissable with a Smile Makeover
Let your smile make it clear to your date or partner that you want to kiss them, that you want to be kissed, and your flawless teeth are ready for it too. You may be thinking and feeling one thing, but if you’re ashamed to show your teeth and gums because of how they look, you won’t be able to adequately express yourself, or encourage any spontaneous kissing.
Remember, 33 percent of people would not kiss someone with bad teeth (source: American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry). You don’t want to fall into that category. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Michael J. Wei, Midtown Manhattan cosmetic dentist, to discuss your smile makeover so you can get to the important business of finding love.
