How Can I Make My Crowns Last Longer?
Making an investment in your oral health can both improve your overall physical health and give you a big confidence boost. Making sure your investment lasts as long as possible extends those benefits.
Get Your Smile Summer Ready with Veneers
Everyone has something they feel self-conscious about. Maybe you’ve always been hyper-aware of the size of your feet. Maybe you think all anyone sees when they look at you is a mole.
Your self-esteem and self-confidence are part of what makes you human, but sometimes they can hamper you from living the life you want.
If you’re concerned about how you look when you smile, you might smile less, and that changes how you’re perceived. Dr. Stephen Hiroshige wants you to feel great about your smile, and that’s one reason he offers veneers.
As you consider getting yourself ready to enjoy all the pleasures of summer, consider your smile for a moment. Do you feel good about how you look when you smile? If not, veneers could be your solution.
The basics of veneers
Before we talk about how veneers can benefit you, we should talk about what they are. Veneers are very thin shells that are bonded to your natural teeth and are custom-made to fit your smile perfectly, both in shape and color.
Usually, veneers are made of porcelain because it reflects light similarly to the enamel that coats your teeth. When you get veneers, we remove a very small amount of your enamel so that the veneer fits and is indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Veneers can be used to cover many flaws, including stains, chips, cracks, and misshapen teeth. The result is a beautiful smile — maybe even the smile you’ve always dreamed about having.
Smiling and your life
“People see those who smile as likable and trustworthy, driving better social interactions. This trust can help in both personal relationships and at work, showing how a simple smile impacts your everyday life.”
This quote is from AP Psychology and brings up the important point that smiling more has a powerful and positive impact on your life. Your self-confidence shines through when you smile, and that means that people see you in a different light.
Consider what your life would look like if you felt more confident. Would you apply for a promotion? Ask someone on a date? Be more comfortable at social gatherings?
When you have a smile you’re proud to show off, you don’t have to wonder what your life would be like if you presented yourself more confidently. Make this summer the season you smile more and feel good about it.
The process
The first step in getting veneers is a consultation with Dr. Hiroshige. During that consultation, he will advise you about whether you’re a good candidate. If so, the next step is creating a treatment plan designed to address your specific situation and address any issues, such as cleaning or fillings, you need before your veneers are placed.
