‘Say cheese’. By the time you done with this expert write-up and been to a competent cosmetic dentist, you won’t need a person to say cheese to make you smile for a snap as you will always be smiling.

Smile- is a person’s greatest beauty treasure. What strikes you the most when a stranger meets you & talks to you? The face. The most important aspect of the face – his/her SMILE. Face value increases by just a smile.

Very few are blessed with natural beautiful smiles. Ask yourself. Have you ever shied away from laughing out or smiling because you were conscious of your teeth? Do you lack confidence because of the way you look? Those people who have bad set of teeth would know how it feels if their teeth were referred to as rabbit teeth or even worse, fangs or Dracula teeth. Such nasty remarks can lead to psychological problems especially in children, leaving scars for life. One’s self esteem is crushed.

In this modern world where there is heavy premium on beauty and where first impression can make all the difference to your acceptability; be it in the entertainment or media industry, in a job interview or business meeting or making friends. Your looks are important because you may not have a second opportunity to make an impression. People think if you have fang-like teeth you could be vicious or you are not smart enough to be spoken to or in simple plain language, you are passed over.

Zebra or dirty yellow teeth suggest stained teeth. Terrible stains on the teeth can be caused by coffee, all forms of tobacco or medication given as a child. Simple polishing of the teeth can solve this problem. ‘Bleaching’ can miraculously change the look by whitening the teeth. Bleaching can be professionally by the dentist in the clinic or can be done at home (under the supervision of a dentist).

‘Cosmetic contouring’ is a simple procedure where the dentist can reshape the tooth. By modifying the look of one or more teeth, the entire smile can change.

Discolored fillings often seen, prick the human eye. If the tooth colored fillings are darker than one’s tooth then one should get them replaced with new tooth-colored cosmetic fillings, which match your tooth colour.

For people who have gone for orthodontic treatment or people with crooked or broken teeth or so-called rabbit teeth- help is at hand.
‘Smile designing’ with cosmetic treatment provides help for those people who want to avoid orthodontic treatment or could not do it earlier. Or sometimes, the need for orthodontic treatment can be totally avoided in some cases as they can be solved by cosmetic treatment. Crooked teeth, flared teeth, gaps between the teeth or fractured teeth, V- shaped half-moon shaped ditches in teeth just above the gums are just a few good reasons to visit a good cosmetic dentist. ‘Cosmetic bonding’, ‘Laminate Veneers’, ‘crowns’ aid this cosmetic transformation. The results are astounding.

There is help for those teeth with Minor ‘plastic surgery of the gum’ alone that lasts 15 minutes can transmogrify the look of the person. However, a qualified cosmetic dentist should do these practices. A conscientious dentist will use an ‘Operating Surgical Microscope’ to do this plastic surgery as the dividing line between damage and good is very thin which can be seen well only under a magnified field of the microscope.

There is nothing stopping you after the smile designing. Bring out the confidence, personality you have within you. Get ready to receive all the compliments in the world- ‘you look awesome!’ ‘Give credit to your cosmetic dentist if the passerby or your friend says ‘Wow! What a smile’ when referring to you. Just, Smile and make the world smile with you.
