Feeling Confident About Your Smile Is Priceless – Don’t Live Hating Your Smile

At Ashbourne Road, the best thing about our work as dentists is seeing the change in patients after they’ve undergone treatment by their dentist in Derby. It’s astonishing how their confidence, demeanour and self-image improve, and we couldn’t be happier for them.

So, if you’re living each day covering your mouth or feeling paranoid about others noticing your teeth for the wrong reasons, consider getting in touch – here’s why you won’t regret it.

The Biggest Changes We See In Our Patients Post-Treatment

The way our patients perceive themselves changes significantly after undergoing cosmetic dentistry, or treatment to restore their smiles.

Dental treatment like dental implants, crowns, teeth whitening and composite bonding can completely change the way an individual carries themselves, and we see it every single day.

It’s fantastic to see patients no longer conscious of their teeth. This improvement in their focus and self-awareness pays huge dividends in other areas of their lives. This shift away from putting all their energy into hiding their teeth means they can focus on living their best life, undeterred by drawing attention to their smiles for the wrong reasons.

How Does My Smile Affect How Others Perceive Me?

Whilst how others perceive you certainly shouldn’t be a priority in life over how you perceive yourself, it can have an impact on your success through life.

Previous psychological research has demonstrated that attractiveness is linked to being perceived as intelligent, specifically, your smile.

Looking healthy helps others to see that you respect yourself and take pride in your appearance, which is often synonymous with having other good morals and lifestyle choices.

When you don’t feel like your smile looks the way you’d like it to, you may even be censoring how much you do smile. This may easily be misinterpreted by others, who think you simply don’t want to exchange a smile with them, whether that’s in a romantic setting, with a passer-by on the street, or in an interview.

With this considered, your smile has a profound impact on all the small and significant interactions you have with others.

How Do I Make Sure My Teeth Don’t Go Back To Looking Unhealthy After Treatment?

Maintenance is a necessary part of ensuring your newly treated smile stays looking healthy, and that your confidence doesn’t nosedive again in the future due to unsightly teeth.

Some of the ways in which you can protect the aesthetic of your teeth from deteriorating include:

• Seeing your dentist in Derby every 6-12 months for a check-up. We use high-magnification loupes to spot cavities early so that we can act fast and apply a filling to protect your tooth.
• See the hygienist for a regular scale and polish teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar. This type of staining is both harmful to your gum line (causing gum recession which can make your teeth look “longer”) and affects your tooth shade.
• Limiting high-sugar and high-acid foods that will tarnish your tooth shade and erode your tooth enamel.
• Protecting your teeth with a sports mouthguard during contact sports to make sure dental trauma doesn’t occur and cause cracks or a knocked-out tooth.
• Brush and floss twice a day every day to stop the onset of acid attacks and gum disease.
• Seek top-up whitening treatment to make sure your teeth remain a natural white shade following your initial teeth whitening treatment.
