People who ask themselves this question are often plagued by imperfect teeth. Dissatisfaction, shame, and embarrassment about your teeth are normal and pretty common sentiments – especially if your teeth aren’t perfect.

One great solution for such situations is cosmetic dentistry. If you are undecided about whether to see a cosmetic dentist, here is more information for you to consider.

What a Cosmetic Dentist Can Do for You

Cosmetic dentists are skilled in creating bright, healthy, and beautiful smiles. They can fix crooked, broken, decaying, and misshapen teeth to give you a great smile. For example, they can make your teeth whiter and fix chips and cracks as well as misalignments and gaps. They can also make your gums healthier and address any bite issues you may have. The treatments cosmetic dentists use also benefit oral function, not just aesthetic appearance.

The services that a cosmetic dentist can provide include:

• Teeth whitening
• Tooth reshaping
• Dental fillings
• Porcelain veneers
• Composite bonding
• Dental crowns
• Dental bridges
• Dental implants
• Invisalign
• Dental inlays and onlays
• Surgical reconstruction

When To See a Cosmetic Dentist

It’s time to see a cosmetic dentist if you have a missing tooth or teeth. Waiting around for teeth that will never grow back is a waste of time – and not something you have to live with. Eventually, missing teeth will cause more dental problems. For example, the surrounding teeth could become misaligned as they move into the gap left by the missing tooth. Additionally, missing teeth can affect your bite force and cause pain when chewing, and eventually weaken your jawbone.

Dental issues such as yellow or discolored teeth, missing teeth, and a crooked smile can cause embarrassment. If you find that you are canceling on family, friends, and co-workers or stifling your smile when meeting new people or taking pictures, it’s time to see a cosmetic dentist. Withdrawing from social gatherings can make you lonely and depressed – not to mention prevent you from enjoying life to the fullest. Cosmetic dental procedures can give you the confidence boost you need to feel great about yourself.

Could it be that the embarrassment you feel is your body telling you to consider cosmetic dentistry? After all, yellow, crooked, misaligned, or missing teeth can change how you look and contribute to an older appearance. Listen to your feelings and fix your dental issues today by visiting a cosmetic dentist.
