Some people embrace resolutions, others shun them. There is no right or wrong way to approach the start of another new year, as long as you’re satisfied with yourself and where you are in life. Many people, though, are extremely dissatisfied when it comes to their teeth. If there’s one thing you do for yourself in the new year – and it doesn’t have to begin the first of January – prioritize your oral health and teeth and invest in a new smile.
Reasons to Pursue a New Smile
Resolutions are all about doing something good for yourself. Whether that means focusing on physical, mental, emotional, or financial self-improvement, the goal is to come out of the effort feeling accomplished, new, and ready to recharge your life.
For many people, resolving to get a new smile in the new year is their recipe for success. Why? Here are just some of the reasons:
- Look better when you smile.
- Feel better about yourself.
- Be happy to take selfies.
- Speak up on video calls.
- Feel confident in face-to-face interactions.
Whether you’re single or married, getting wed or getting divorced, trying to take your career to the next level or land an entry-level position, a new smile improves everything, especially self-esteem. Improving the look of your teeth is one of the most powerful things you can do to transform your appearance and yourself as a whole.
Cosmetic Dentistry for a Smile Makeover
The big question, of course, is what type of cosmetic dentistry or restorative dentistry is right for your transformation? That depends on what you dislike about your smile or what kind of dental problems you may be experiencing. Here are some options your dentist may recommend:
- Porcelain veneers: These super-thin, customized porcelain shields are the most transformative treatment you can undergo. They sit atop your natural teeth and reshape it into a white, straight, flawless smile.
- Porcelain crowns: Never thought you’d get that permanently stained tooth whitened or that misshapen tooth to blend in with all the others? A personalized cap will cover, protect, and perfect.
- Dental implants: Missing teeth are a big problem no matter where they are in your mouth. Filling the spaces with permanent dental implants restores the smile to full strength so it works well, looks good, and feels natural.
- Invisalign: This orthodontic treatment isn’t the fastest solution for correcting misaligned teeth but it is certainly the most discreet. The thin, clear aligners move a few teeth at a time until your entire smile is in alignment. Many follow their treatment with professional teeth whitening.
