Regain Your Confidence with a Beautiful Smile!

Have you laughed today? It’s estimated that the average American adult laughs about 16 times daily. Unfortunately, if the look of your teeth has you giggling behind your hands, you may find it difficult to fully enjoy the moment. In fact, a growing amount of research indicates that the impact your smile has on your confidence spreads to multiple areas of your life. Read on to find out how a dazzling, self-assured set of pearly whites from your cosmetic dentist could improve your personal happiness, social perception, and career advancement!

Personal Happiness

What is it that you don’t like about your teeth? Whether they’re stained, chipped, cracked, or crooked, your dentist can transform them into one of your most prized features. Cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening, dental bonding, and porcelain veneers are an excellent way to easily, comfortably, and dramatically improve your smile.

When you love the look of your smile, it shows! You’ll naturally start to smile more when you’re no longer worried about your dental imperfections. This triggers the release of feel-good chemicals in your brain like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. The more often you set off this reaction, the more often you’ll feel relaxed, confident, and optimistic.

Social Perception

A great smile can significantly influence how the people around you see you. According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 48% of American adults report that a person’s smile is their most memorable feature when making a first impression. Countless additional studies indicate that a pretty grin can make you appear younger, healthier, more attractive, and more approachable than those with average teeth. This means that a better smile will make you feel and look more confident!

Career Advancement

While it may be no surprise that a smile can make you look more friendly, did you know that it could also make you appear more trustworthy and competent? A recent study from the University of Pittsburgh found that the more subjects smiled, the more trustworthy others described them as. In a similar survey, participants reported that those with a smile looked more confident and self-assured, and therefore more competent in their task, than those who hid their smile. These qualities could make all the difference in a job interview, work presentation, or getting a raise.

If you’re not happy with the look of your teeth, there’s no reason to postpone seeing your cosmetic dentist. With so many easy and effective cosmetic dental treatments available, it’s never been easier to regain your confidence with a beautiful smile!
