The Anatomy of a Smile

According to a quote from Charles Reade, “Beauty is power; a smile its sword.”  Our smile creates a lasting first impression and sends signals to others that we are friendly, approachable and confident people.  The truth is, attractiveness can determine how others perceive you and treat you.  Scientific research has proven that the better you look, the better others treat you. Whether you are in a job interview or on a first date, your smile is one of your most important assets.

According to Lee Mildon “People seldom notice old clothes if you wear a big smile.”  Charles Gordy says “A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks.”  These quotes just further demonstrate how important your smile is to your overall appearance.

But what if your smile is hindered by the embarrassment of missing teeth?  Do you hide your smile?  Do you turn away from people, even if just slightly to hide the gap in your mouth from a missing tooth?  Do you withhold your smile from a big grin even at the funniest moments?  Missing teeth can destroy your self-confidence and change how your smile.

If missing teeth or wearing dentures are hindering your smile, dental implants are definitely worth considering.  Dental implants are prosthetic tooth roots that allow for replacement teeth that look, feel and function like normal teeth.  This revolutionary tooth replacement system has enabled millions of patients to once again smile, laugh and speak with confidence.  Talk to an Oral Surgeon today about dental implants and how they may improve your appearance.
