5 Reasons to Get a Smile Makeover!

Are you unhappy with your teeth? Well, you wouldn’t be alone. Research has found that 33% of Americans are unhappy with their smile and 36% believe a better smile would improve their social life.  Fortunately, you have the ability to transform your grin with cosmetic dentistry! Treatments like veneers, cosmetic dental bonding, and professional teeth whitening can improve your pearly whites and your life in more ways than one. Here are five reasons to consider getting a smile makeover.

#1: Strengthens Your Immune System

When you don’t feel good about your teeth, you are less likely to smile. But did you know that smiling more can even positively impact your health by boosting your immunity? According to a study by the Loma Linda University School of Medicine’s Department of Clinical Immunology, white blood cells increased in the study’s participants whenever they chuckled and smiled, which helps the body fight infection and other diseases. Cheers to a beautiful smile and good health!

#2: Gives a Great First Impression

It’s been said that a first impression can last a lifetime. Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you. If your teeth are bright and healthy looking, you won’t feel self-conscious and will be more likely to engage. With your white smile and willingness to interact, people will find you outgoing, competent, and attractive. This can be extremely beneficial for your emotional well-being as well as open more opportunities for your professional career!

#3: Makes You Look More Youthful

A recent study conducted by Oral B found that models with whiter teeth were perceived to be five to 10 years younger. By enhancing your smile with a cosmetic dental treatment like professional teeth whitening, you’ll be able to wind back the years with your new pearly whites.

#4: Helps You Recover from Stress

Wall Street Journal reported a study that found smiling helped people recover faster from a stressful task. Not only does smiling reduce your heart rate more quickly, but it also sends signals of “safety” to the brain. When your stress level is lowered, you can make the most of your days and relationships with your beautifully enhanced teeth.

#5: Increases Your Happiness

If you feel proud of your smile, you will freely show it to the world! When you do, your brain releases “feel good” chemicals when you flash your new teeth. This can happen whether you do it spontaneously or deliberately. By achieving your dream smile, you’ll subconsciously feel more confident about showing off your teeth. Naturally, you’ll find yourself smiling more often, increasing your happiness in the process.

Cosmetic treatments can benefit more than just your appearance. As you continue to enjoy your enhanced pearly whites, you will see the positive benefits in many areas of your life!
