I am embarrassed to smile

I have never said this to anyone. I am embarrassed to smile. I have always thought of cosmetic dentistry as something for the vain. I wouldn’t be able to live with one of those too bright Hollywood smiles. But, wondered if there is anything I can do to feel better about my smile?

Dear Anonymous,

Please don’t feel alone in your predicament. More than half of Americans are unhappy with their smile.  Maybe that is because we put untold pressure on people to have the perfect everything on our current culture.

Cosmetic dentistry is designed to give you the smile you would be proud of.  You don’t have to mimic the almost radioactive glow of many Hollywood smile. Besides, who wants teeth a NASA satellite could pick up from space?

Find a highly experienced, artistic cosmetic dentist. You might start by looking on the mynewsmile.com website to see who is recommended in your area. Then sit down and with them and discuss your smile goals. The beauty of cosmetic dentistry is they can make your teeth into any shape and color you’d like. Some cosmetic dentists will even give you a beautiful smile guarantee.
