Do you feel like your career has stalled? Maybe you haven’t landed your dream job? No matter the issue, your smile might be holding you back. You’ve heard the saying, “You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover,” but people often base their first impression of a person on the appearance of their teeth. Few people have perfect teeth naturally and many factors can affect them over the years, but cosmetic dentistry can give you a picture-perfect smile. Believe it or not, an attractive smile is proven to improve job opportunities. Here’s how refreshing your smile might just boost your career.
Influence of an Attractive Smile
If you’re not happy with the way your teeth look, you might struggle with insecurities about your appearance. You may hide your teeth when talking or smiling, which can make you seem unconfident and unapproachable. Not only can this affect you socially, but it can also influence your career.
A person with a pleasing smile is viewed as youthful, confident, intelligent, and successful. Resolving your aesthetic flaws will revamp your professional image and enhance your self-esteem. You’ll benefit from a better quality of life and may find new career growth.
Common Cosmetic Dental Procedures
You don’t have to be rich to invest in cosmetic dentistry. You have more options than ever before to transform your smile, so there’s a solution to fit your budget. Your cosmetic dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to determine which treatment is right for you, like:
- Porcelain Veneers: A veneer is a thin restoration that’s bonded to the front side of a tooth, improving its color, size, and shape. Bonding veneers to the teeth that show when you smile can fix many issues at once using a minimally invasive method. It’s a cost-effective option to treat stains, chips, gaps, and more.
- Invisalign: Clear aligners are worn over your teeth to correct bite and alignment issues. You can have a straight, healthy smile in about 12 months with no brackets or wires.
- Teeth Whitening: Surface and age-related discoloration can be improved by up to 8 shades using a professional in-office or at-home whitening solution.
- Tooth-Colored Fillings: A composite resin is shaded to the color of your enamel to blend in with your tooth when used to treat decay.
Cosmetic dentistry is a simple way to refresh your appearance to achieve a more lucrative and successful future. You can’t put a price on the benefits you’ll gain by investing in the smile of your dreams.
