Can Cosmetic Dentistry Improve Career Success?

The benefits of a beautiful smile are priceless; however, more than half of Americans are insecure about the way their teeth look. If you’re embarrassed by stains, chips, gaps, or other imperfections, you probably don’t smile as often as you’d like. You may even avoid social settings. Your quality of life isn’t the only thing to suffer. Believe it or not, an unpleasant smile can also hold you back in your career. You don’t have to feel stuck in your job prospects. Cosmetic dentistry can revamp your smile and open new doors for a more rewarding and lucrative future.

Career Benefits of an Attractive Smile

A healthy, beautiful smile can influence your first impression on other people, especially potential employers. 76% of people notice a person’s smile before any other physical trait. 

People with attractive teeth are viewed as younger, happier, successful, and confident, which are appealing qualities in the professional field.

Not only will others view you differently, but you’ll also feel better about yourself. Cosmetic dentistry can boost your self-esteem and make you more outgoing. You’ll look and feel your best to pursue better opportunities to climb the ladder of success.

Cosmetic Dentistry Solutions

If you’re ready to love the smile you see in the mirror, you have many options to reach your goals, like:

• Veneers: Customized thin shells made of porcelain are bonded to the front surfaces of teeth visible when smiling to correct many issues at once using a minimally invasive method. You can save time and money using a procedure that can last for a decade or more.
• Metal-Free Restorations: Tooth-colored materials are used to improve compromised teeth with metal-free solutions, like fillings and crowns. Only a trained dental professional will know they aren’t part of your natural smile.
• Cosmetic Bonding: A composite resin is shaded to match the color of enamel to blend in with the tooth when treating minor cosmetic and restorative issues. You can enjoy a quick fix that can last for 5+ years before needing to be replaced.
• Teeth Whitening: A professional whitening system can improve surface and age-related stains by up to 8 shades, with results that can last for many months or years, depending on your aftercare routine.
• Gum Recontouring: A soft tissue laser can sculpt a gum line damaged by infections or make teeth appear larger and proportionate to resolve a gummy smile.

Your cosmetic dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your concerns to create a personalized plan. They’ll turn the smile of your dreams into reality to enhance your confidence and overall quality of life. You can achieve the flawless smile you need to succeed in whatever career path you choose.
