Cosmetic dentistry can help you reach your professional and personal goals.
According to a survey conducted for the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD), 74% of adults surveyed felt that an unattractive smile could hurt a person's career success. Almost all (99.7%) felt that a good smile was an important social asset. So if you’re reluctant to smile, perhaps it’s time to find a good cosmetic dentist. Creating confident smiles is what we do - it may look like we focus on the size and shape of your teeth but in the end it’s the proud and confident smile that counts.
It is an accepted fact that when you look good, you feel good. When 150 employers were asked why they discounted a person applying for a job after the first interview the number one reason was a poor personal appearance.
When you feel confident about your smile – your teeth are straight and white – you’re much more likely to beam out a welcoming first impression. “Those who make a good impression make more money than those who don’t,” said Nelson Rockefeller and this is supported by the facts from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. They found that more attractive people earned five percent more an hour than their less good-looking counterparts. So your smile could be your ticket to a better job and a bigger paycheck.
Your smile affects your success in social relationships too. Harris Interactive Inc., of Rochester, New York, most widely known for The Harris Poll and pioneering leadership in online market research, polled 1000 Americans of all ages and found that 94 percent said they are likely to notice a person's smile when they meet them for the first time. Almost three-quarters (71%) believe people with a nice smile make friends more easily.
Since few people are born with perfect teeth and a million dollar smile, a visit to a cosmetic dentist could be the best investment you could make for career enhancement and social success. And it need not break your budget. With the cosmetic dentistry advances such as porcelain veneers, Lava crowns, metal free bridges, and a new DEEP BLEACHING technique that promises to get your teeth dazzling white!, Many procedures can be completed in just a few short visits.
