A survey by the American Dental Association...

 

Found that a person's smile outranked eyes, hair and the body as the most important physical feature.

 

Having a beautiful smile may just help you on that job interview or give you enough confidence to stress less. In a recent survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentists, 74 percent of the people responding said they believed an unattractive smile could hurt a person's chances for career success.
 

A great smile is one of the first things people notice. People with great smiles have better self confidence, they feel better about themselves, and will help their self esteem when perusing what they want, whether it be a job interview or just personal relationships.

 

There are many different procedures that can be used to get the best whitest smile:

WHITENING

Teeth white for brighter whiter teeth because you want that white, bright smile. Your teeth can become discolored due to age, smoking, drinking and eating staining foods and liquids, such as red wine, coffee, tea, dark soda, berries and even soy sauce.

The latest in-office treatment is the Zoom Advance, a 45 minute-to-an-hour treatment. It's one of the strongest in-office treatment available today.

Westbrook Village Dental can help you decide if you're a good candidate. If you have gum disease or decay, those issues should be taken care of first. If you have crowns, veneers or fillings, we will let you know if they will not bleach (whiten).

 

To keep your teeth white after your treatment, or in general, don't smoke, and limit staining foods and drinks. If you can, drink staining liquids through a straw. Try to use a whitening toothpaste, brush twice a day, and floss.
 

ENAMEL RE-CONTOURING

This is ideal for small chips, and to give a more pleasing smile. If one tooth is a little longer than the other, or if one tooth has some bumps on it, or if a tooth is pointy (like vampire teeth), those areas can be re-contoured to a softer, rounder, more pleasing look. There is no need for anesthesia. Let us give you your smile evaluation with treatment plan and your options.

BONDING / COSMETIC CONTOURING

This is a great way to restore teeth that have decay. It can fix chips and broken teeth, and fill in gaps. It can be done in a single visit. Results are immediate.
 

 

DENTURES

 

Complete dentures can be either "conventional" or "immediate." Made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal, a conventional denture is ready for placement in the mouth about 8 to 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed.
