Your smile says a great deal about you. It reflects on your personal habits and overall health, as well as your personality. People who are embarrassed of their smiles tend not to smile as often, giving off negative vibes. Your confidence level may be low when you have a smile you don’t like. All of these things contribute to reasons to consider a smile makeover.
One way to easily transform your smile is through teeth whitening. There are many types of whitening products available in your local drugstore, including strips, gels, and toothpaste. When you are looking for fast and dramatic results, professional whitening methods are the way to go. These involve using stronger concentrations of whitening agents that effectively brighten your smile in a short amount of time.
Another part of a smile makeover is undergoing cosmetic dental procedures. Every person is different about how their smile has aged, damage that may have occurred, or even cosmetic problems you’ve been dissatisfied with your whole life. A visit to a cosmetic dentist provides an opportunity to explain what you dislike about your smile, and for the dentist to provide suggestions on ways to improve it. Some common procedures during smile makeovers include veneers, implants, braces, bonding, and contouring. You and your dentist can come up with a plan together to transform your smile.
Faking it
If you’re not ready for a smile makeover, you can try some simple tips to fake your way to a more attractive smile. For example, choose lipsticks with a blue undertone to brighten your teeth instead of brown tones that bring out the yellow in your smile. Also, darker makeup base or light tanning products can make your teeth look whiter. Makeup artists may be able to provide even more tricks for enhancing your smile.
