Are you a student? A teacher? A parent? The opportunity to start over and make a good first impression, or a better second impression, is a built-in part of every September. Depending on the role you play, your needs will vary. It’s safe to say, however, that everyone can do better with a perfect smile.
Say “Cheese” for School Pictures
If you’ll be standing in front of a camera to commemorate another school year, you’ll be taking stock of your appearance. Maybe you lost weight over the summer or gained a few pounds courtesy of a much-needed vacation. Perhaps your clothes are new or you’re already recycling pieces from your existing wardrobe.
Whatever your situation, when you know you’re going to be getting a photo taken – whether it is enshrined in a yearbook forever or just part of your family album – your smile will be a focal point. How does your grin look? Will you be smiling without showing teeth? Will you pull a straight face? Will you smile big and regret it later when you see the condition of your teeth?
A simple cleaning may be all you need to spruce up your teeth, but for many people greater intervention is a necessity. Cosmetic dentistry is the sure route to a beautiful and flawless smile. If your teeth are in serious disrepair and their functionality has been compromised, you may need restorative dentistry first. Strong, healthy teeth are essential before you can beautify.
Make an Impression
You’re a new teacher at a new school. You’re heading into your first college classroom. You’re a parent at a highly regarded private school. Whatever phase of life or circumstances you find yourself in, there is one constant: A good smile can make almost anything better.
All the first impressions you make at the beginning of a school year stick. Sure, you’ll get to know people better as the year goes on and adjust your view of them, but that first hello handshake and eye contact are critical, whether you’re a teacher meeting a parent, a parent meeting a teacher, an instructor meeting an administrator, or a student meeting an advisor. You’d rather people focus on what you’re saying than be distracted by a less-than-stellar smile.
So, what’s the right equation to improve your smile? Only your Madison Avenue cosmetic dentist can tell you for certain, but it may involve a quick round of professional teeth whitening, a meticulously customized set of prepless veneers, or a non-invasive touch-up using cosmetic tooth bonding. Straight, white, gorgeous teeth are the goal – how you get there is unique to you.
