Virtually all Americans (99.7%) believe a smile is an
important social asset. Consumer studies have proved
that a beautiful smile will make you more attractive, but according to recent research
conducted for the
American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry a new
smile will also make you appear more intelligent, interesting, successful and
wealthy.
A
smile makeover can increase your self-confidence when meeting new people,
giving presentations and conducting meetings.
It
allows you
to translate emotions and ideas more easily to colleagues, clients and friends.
Common Responses
74% of adults feel an unattractive smile can hurt an
individual's chance for success and that people have very specific preferences
about the way a smile should appear. When asked "what is the first thing
you notice in a person's smile?" the most common responses were:
- Straightness
- Whiteness and color of teeth
- Cleanliness
- Sincerity of smile
- Missing teeth
- Sparkle of smile
When asked "what types of things do you consider make a smile
unattractive?" the most common responses were:
- Discolored, yellow or stained teeth
- Missing teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Cavities and decay
- Gaps and spaces
And finally when respondents were asked "what would you most like to
improve about your smile," the most common response was "
whiter and brighter teeth."
Cosmetic Dentistry
Another
study found that nearly two thirds feel that people with warm and open smiles
are more approachable. A third of the people
surveyed are concerned about their teeth and they have a strong interest in
cosmetic dentistry. But many are held
back by impressions of affordability,
The
value of success in your career and your relationships is hard to quantify. Ask people who have completed cosmetic dental
treatment (from whitening to 20
veneers and/or
porcelain crowns) and they will
tell you it was money very well spent! Cosmetic dentistry can easily fix any of these
smile deficiencies and give you a smile that makes you appear more attractive,
successful and intelligent. Talk to your cosmetic dentist – you’ll find that
almost every practice has affordable ways you can
finance your new smile and
enjoy the benefits and the value for the rest of your life.
