Something to Smile about! The Importance of a Beautiful Smile
Your smile is unique.
It tells the world about you... fosters communication and goodwill... indicates vitality... happiness and general wellbeing. A beautiful smile indicates confidence, success and friendship.
Does your Smile Convey what you want ?
Although most people understand the importance of a good smile, research shows that more than half would
like to make some improvement in their appearance of their smile. If you feel awkward
or self-conscious about your smile, cover your mouth when you talk or laugh or avoid
photographs, try answering the following questions to work out what bothers you about
your teeth that could be holding back your smile:
 Are there spaces between your teeth ?- Are your teeth dull, dark or stained ?
- Are your teeth crooked, misshapen, or out of line ?
- Do you show too much gum tissue ?
- Are your gums irregularly shaped, higher on some teeth, lower on others ?
- Are your teeth too small or too large ?
- Are the edges of your teeth (as a group) too long or too short ?
- Do your teeth slant one way or another ?
- Is the midline of your two front teeth centred with your face and nose ?
- Are the edge of your canines (eye teeth) too pointy or flat ?
- Are the biting edges of your teeth worn down ?
- Are any of your teeth missing ?
- Have your gums receded ?
- Are any ugly dental fillings showing ?
- Do any old or recently crowned teeth not match your natural teeth ?
- Are any of your teeth that have silver fillings stained blue or grey ?
If you have answered YES to ANY of the above questions, then Cosmetic Dentistry could help improve your smile. |
