Confidence may come from within, but with years of experience under our belt, we can say with relative certainty that the best way to measure confidence is in the size of someone’s smile.
When we feel at our best, we smile more – becoming instantly warmer and more engaging to those around us. Not only does this have a positive impact on our relationships but it is directly linked with professional development and personal success.
This is why, when it comes to cosmetic dentistry in Essex, we measure the success of each treatment in client smiles.
Want to boost your confidence and walk away with a gleaming smile? Here are three of the top treatments that we recommend to finetune your smile and build your confidence.
1. Orthodontics
So often we see influencers and specialists plugging the benefits of teeth whitening as a go-to for improving their smile and giving them a boost of confidence and self-belief.
However, while teeth whitening has its benefits (that we will come onto later in this article), even the whitest teeth can still appear wonky and crooked without orthodontic support. If you are lucky to be blessed with straight teeth from birth then you can skip past this treatment option – however, many clients suffer with some degree of malocclusion. This can leave teeth misaligned with gaps, overcrowding issues, and more.
Invisalign is one of the most popular and least invasive treatment options for those seeking orthodontic support. Fixed braces are another option for those with more severe dental alignment concerns.
2. Teeth Whitening
Sometimes included within an orthodontic package, teeth whitening is designed to add a shine to a well-balanced and straight smile.
From covering up stains and discolouration to simply lifting the colour of your teeth by a few shades to achieve that perfect Hollywood white smile, teeth whitening comes in a variety of formats – including at-home and professional techniques.
If you are serious about teeth whitening, then we recommend heading to your dentist rather than choosing a less effective at-home or DIY kit. Professional whitening treatment is achieved via trays which are moulded to fit your teeth and embedded with a bleaching kit. Results can be enjoyed in as little as 4-6 weeks.
3. Composite Bonding
If you have visible chips or cracks in your teeth, then composite bonding will not only transform your smile but will also help to stabilise your teeth.
Composite bonding involves the use of a versatile material which is moulded onto the affected tooth/teeth and filed down until it perfectly replicates the shape and colour of a natural tooth. Blending perfectly into your smile, composite bonding creates a new layer that is safe for everyday eating, brushing, and more – and that gives you a smile to be proud of.
