WHAT IS A BEAUTIFUL SMILE AND HOW IS IT CREATED?
Have you ever wondered why many successful people have beautiful smiles and exactly what is a beautiful smile? More than 92% of adults agree that an attractive smile is an important social asset. If you smile at people, it will encourage them to smile at you in return. There is strong evidence that attractive smiles enhance peoples� self-esteem, their business opportunities, and their social interactions.
As smile makeover experts, our goal as cosmetic dentists is to make your smile beautiful and functional! A good cosmetic dentist combines artistry and technology together to accomplish this goal and create the smile of your dreams. This result is accomplished by carefully examining all aspects of your smile to determine the right procedures that are needed for you individually to create your new smile. We use leading-edge dental technology, procedures, and materials to create the ideal smile for your face and one that makes you happy. We work with an onsite porcelain artist to produce a beautiful smile by combining anatomy, function, and esthetics. Correct form and function go hand in hand to establish the smile you want.
Healthy appearing teeth are the foundation of a knockout smile. Beautiful Smiles have the following characteristics:
- Teeth that are straight and evenly spaced;
- Teeth that are aligned in the center of your mouth;
- White Teeth without any stains or discoloration;
- Smooth and even gum-lines;
- Correct contour relationships between the teeth, gums and lips during a smile;
- Upper gums that do not show in a well balanced smile;
- Biting edges of the top teeth that evenly follow the curve of the lower lip.
Additionally, the teeth should not appear too short, too wide or too long in a beautiful smile. However, the perfect size and length of the teeth will vary slightly for each person depending upon the characteristics of the person�s face and mouth.
Finally, don�t worry if your smile isn�t quite perfect now, because your cosmetic dentist can develop it to your satisfaction! That is what cosmetic dentists do is create beautiful smiles and keep smiles beautiful. For cosmetic smile enhancement or alteration, seek out a dentist that has had advanced training beyond their regular dental degree in the various aspects of cosmetic dentistry. This advanced training may include anterior tooth restorative cosmetics, posterior tooth restorative cosmetics, implant placement, limited tooth movement orthodontics and whole mouth cosmetic reconstruction. Whole mouth reconstruction is often called an extreme makeover because almost all of your teeth or a majority of them are altered or changed in some fashion.
