Although cosmetic dentistry doesn’t, by definition, address medical concerns, it still provides health and social benefits to patients. By completing cosmetic dental procedures to restore the beauty of your smile, you can improve your quality of life in several ways. 

The main health and social benefits of cosmetic dentistry include:

Enhanced Confidence

Chipped, broken, crooked, stained, and missing teeth can all cause your confidence to take a hit. Your smile is one of the first things that people notice about your appearance, and if you’re insecure about it, you may find yourself keeping your lips closed. Cosmetic dentistry can resolve these insecurities and help you feel secure in your smile. By giving you the straight, white, and healthy smile you desire, cosmetic dental procedures can greatly improve your confidence in social settings. 

Success in Career Settings

Confidence in your smile and overall appearance can help you succeed in career situations, such as interviews. When you feel sure of yourself in these settings, you’re more likely to be perceived as a strong candidate. Additionally, with a confidence boost from your flawless smile, you may feel less stress in important career settings, helping you stay cool and collected when it matters the most. 

Improved Oral Health

While the goal of cosmetic dentistry is to resolve cosmetic concerns, in doing so, we also often boost the patient’s oral health. For example, after a whitening treatment, we inform patients of how to maintain their white smiles. This encourages patients to refrain from actions that can discolor the teeth, such as smoking and drinking acidic beverages. Additionally, for procedures like crowns and bridges to replace missing teeth, the treatment will improve the look of the smile and the health of the jaw bone and gums.
