How Cosmetic Dentistry Can Give You an Edge in Your Career
Improve your smile and your confidence with cosmetic dentistry.
Despite our best intentions not to judge “a book by its cover” or people by their appearance, the fact is that first impressions of a person’s appearance do matter. And one of the first things people notice about one another is their smile.
In a study conducted at the request of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, participants were shown pictures of people with perfect teeth and people in need of dental work and asked to make guesses about their intelligence, success, and wealth. The study participants consistently associated a beautiful smile with higher intelligence, greater success, and more wealth.
If you are trying to make your way up the corporate ladder, you definitely don’t want bad teeth to hold you back by negatively influencing people’s opinions of your intelligence and ability. Fortunately, cosmetic dentistry can help you transform your smile so that it reflects your inner self and communicates confidence and success.

Teeth Whitening: Discolored teeth are not only unattractive, they also make you look older than your years. Fortunately, you can improve the color of your teeth dramatically with professional teeth whitening from your cosmetic dentist. We use stronger whitening compounds than you can get over the counter, and because you are under professional care during treatment the process is safer than whitening at home.
Veneers: If your teeth are severely stained, chipped, cracked, or worn, veneers provide a perfect way to cover up those imperfections and transform your smile. Veneers can also be used to cover up teeth that are oddly sized, have crooked edges, or have small gaps between them. The best option for veneers is porcelain, because porcelain reflects light much the way natural tooth enamel does. Your veneers will look totally natural and soon no one will even remember your former crooked, stained, or less than perfect smile.
Orthodontics: Crooked teeth can be problematic, not only for the appearance of your smile but also for your oral health. First of all, crooked or overlapping teeth are harder to clean and leave many places for tooth decay bacteria to thrive, so you may end up with more cavities. Secondly, you could have pain or discomfort if your bite is misaligned. So you can see there are many reasons to invest in orthodontics to correct your smile. If you opt for Invisalign, you don’t even have to deal with the embarrassment of having people know you have braces—Invisalign uses clear plastic trays that are practically invisible.
