A Smile to Smile About
By DR . JOSH WILLIAMS
There is a famous quote from Mother Teresa that says : “ Let us always meet each other with smile , for a smile is the beginning of love .” I couldn ’ t think of a more beautiful way to share the vast importance of having a beautiful smile .
A smile is often the first thing we notice about someone , and with it we impose love , laughter , joy , and many other positive emotions that ultimately shape lives . The fact that we can change someone ’ s day and how they feel about us and their circumstances just because of the appearance of a smile cannot be underestimated . That is why I want to talk to you about smile makeovers .
Because of the effect of years and life , our teeth can start to decline , and it becomes evident when we smile . Stains , cracks , trauma , decay , or crooked teeth all give the appearance that our teeth are struggling , and it is often accompanied by decreasing the confidence of the person . I cannot tell you how many times I have noticed people who alter their normal smile to hide something with their teeth that embarrasses them .
Years of not smiling in a relaxed way will also create wrinkles in less than desirable ways around the lips . I also cannot tell you how many times we have created a new smile for a patient and it becomes life changing . The process is easier than you probably think . It all starts with a consultation with a cosmetic dentist to explore the possibilities .
This article will help you understand several of the options available to help you achieve the smile you have always dreamed of having .
Teeth Whitening
The first and most common procedure we offer patients is teeth whitening . This is the simplest way to freshen up your smile and it can be done in-office or at home . Using a Zoom whitening system , whitening in-office is the quickest way to whiten your teeth , allowing the patient to spend less time thinking about the process , and more time spent with work or family . Whitening at home is accomplished with custom trays , enhancing your teeth from the comfort of your home .
Orthodontics
The second option is often orthodontics . Using Invisalign , crooked teeth are straightened and moved into proper position . This allows easier cleaning and fewer issues for food traps , gum irritations , and
traumatic biting relationships prematurely wearing down teeth . Invisalign trays are custom given to the patient in a series for a patient to wear , slowly moving teeth into proper alignment , giving a healthier mouth and better cosmetic appearance .
Crowns
Another excellent option , crowns . Crowns are wonderful for patients because many things are accomplished at the same time and can be completed very quickly . Teeth that are worn down , crooked , or discolored can be covered with shaded / whitened crowns to give a natural and beautiful white smile .
Many patients choose to makeover their smile in one day with crowns and get an instant life-changing effect ! Crowns are great options for those who have struggled clenching their teeth throughout life and have lost too much of their tooth structure . Crowns , when taken care of , can last a very long time and are quite sturdy and strong . The goal with using crowns is to accomplish a beautiful smile that fits the patient naturally and makes them look younger .

Cosmetic dentistry is some of the most incredibly rewarding dentistry that I offer . It is exciting each and every time to be able to play a part in helping someone achieve the look they have envisioned for themselves .
At the end of the day , we get one walk through this journey of life . Why not live life to the fullest in the manner which brings out the best and most confident version of ourselves ? For women , it might be to create a smile that sparkles with elegance . For men , perhaps the aim is to create something that looks professional .
