Getting Clear About Your Smile

Our smile is an important factor that affects our overall happiness and quality of life. So, you shouldn't just accept having one that you are unhappy about. The advancements in cosmetic dentistry allow us to fix any cosmetic complaints and have the smile you wish for. 

The Importance of a Great Smile

A smile is often the first thing people notice about us when they meet us the first time. A smile is more than just a way to show happiness. A warm smile indicates a greeting and signifies friendliness, acceptance, good health, and self-confidence. 

As per a survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, Americans highly value the need to have a great smile: Here are the significant findings of the survey:

• 92% of participants think an appealing smile is a crucial social asset.
• 85% think an unattractive or unsightly smile makes a person unappealing to the opposite gender.
• 74% of the survey participants believe that an unattractive smile can affect a person's career success.

Furthermore, the survey also says that almost 50% of Americans are unsatisfied with the appearance of their smiles. This accounts for the reason why cosmetic dental procedures are getting more popular every year.
