As a rough 2021 comes to a close, it’s time to think about how you can treat yourself as the new year comes cautiously tiptoeing in. No matter where you live, what you do, or who you are, this has been a year short on smiles. The pandemic has made it difficult to live the life you want to live and see the people you want to see. Now is the time to do something to improve how you’re feeling about the future and yourself. Get a smile makeover to help you enter the new year with hope.
1. Your Self-Esteem Deserves It
Some people have been relieved about mask wearing because it hides a broken-down smile, stains, and other unsightly and embarrassing dental problems. Masks, in other words, have made it easy for people to push their cosmetic oral health issues to the side and just keep on keeping on.
But your self-esteem is still there and so are the mirrors you look into every day. It will be even better if you know that behind that mask you’re sporting a stellar smile that’s white, straight, and flawless, thanks to porcelain veneers or Lumineers.
2. Zoom Calls Aren’t Going Anywhere
Whether you work, go to school, or socialize via a video conferencing network, it’s a reality that Zoom, FaceTime, Google Meet, and all their cronies aren’t disappearing anytime soon. You’re not wearing a mask on those calls – in fact, your teeth may be magnified more than usual in close up shots on your screen for all to see.
You don’t have to feel like a bug under glass during these screen encounters. Invest in a professional teeth whitening treatment so your smile shines, or get those pesky teeth that have always bothered you corrected with porcelain crowns.
3. You Still Have to Eat
Whether you’re eating out or at home, you don’t eat meals with a mask on. If you’re embarrassed about the condition or functionality of your teeth, don’t live with that discomfort. Do something about it – because there is always something that can be done to improve an unsightly smile.
Restorative dentistry is part of smile makeovers too. Whatever you need to correct – broken, damaged, missing teeth or otherwise – there is a treatment for you. From dental implants to dental bridges to porcelain crowns, all the problems with your teeth can be corrected so they work and look better.
4. You Can Sneak in a Big Change
If you’ve always been self-conscious about certain elements of your smile, now is a great time to make a slow but significant change while you’re hiding your teeth behind a mask. Invisalign trays are nearly invisible anyway but some people feel better not revealing their orthodontic efforts to anyone in any shape or form.
Since you’re wearing a mask anyway, this is a great time to make an investment in a lengthier smile makeover treatment. Think of what a reveal you’ll have when you see people you haven’t seen for a long time and look better than ever with your gorgeous new teeth.
