Pearly Whites

The difference a great smile makes.

Facial expressions are the universal language. Our smiles say a lot about us, without having to speak a word. They can show off our personalities, give strength and encouragement, or build confidence. There’s a lot to be said for a healthy smile.

Unfortunately, some people are not happy with their smiles due to any of the following problems:

• Discolored teeth, ranging from yellow to black
• Discolored, swollen, or receding gums
• Missing or broken teeth
• Teeth or gums that frequently bleed
• Crooked teeth, or large gaps between your teeth
• Any of these imperfections can cause you to hide your mouth with your hand, and after a while you’ll simply stop smiling altogether out of habit. The good news is that you can restore a bright, healthy smile, and reap all the benefits that come with it.

How to solve your smile problems

A good cosmetic dentist can help you fix teeth and gum problems and get you grinning again. Dentistry techniques have come a long way from basic teeth cleaning: today you can receive everything from caps and crowns to smile makeovers. Here are just a few procedures a cosmetic dentist can perform:

• Braces or Invisalign to correct crooked teeth and gaps
• Dental bleaching to restore your teeth to a gleaming white
• A dental hygiene program to give you firm, healthy gums
• Caps and crowns to cover broken teeth, and dental implants to replace missing teeth

With a smile makeover from a cosmetic dentist, you can end the embarrassment of an imperfect smile and achieve good dental hygiene along with your brilliant, healthy smile. Remember that you can say a lot with your smile, so don’t hesitate to make it the best it can be!
