ow you feel about your smile affects how you project yourself, how confident you feel when speaking in front of others and it can influence how you are perceived by others.

It would be nice if people formed opinions of us based only on our actions, our accomplishments and our intelligence, but people form opinions based on instant impressions. A parent can spend thousands to get their child through college only to see them lose opportunities that should have been theirs because their smile wasn't perfect. It's unfair but it happens too often to be ignored. All things being equal, a moderate investment in a beautiful smile can pay back huge dividends over the years.

The advances in cosmetic dentistry in the past five years have revolutionized how dentistry is done and has given patients affordable options that were never before available.

Bonding materials, crowns and bridges have all been improved in the last few years. At the Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry the development we are most excited about is porcelain veneers. The appearance of this new porcelain material is so natural that it is difficult to distinguish between a natural tooth appearance and a veneer surface.

Porcelain veneers will last longer than tooth enamel, are resistant to staining and can be used to completely alter a person's smile. Crooked teeth can be straightened, gaps can be filled in, worn teeth can be lengthened and flaws in tooth surfaces covered over. We no longer need to live with the flaws that nature and life accidents provided us!

At the Centre for Cosmetic Dentistry, we have the capability of changing your smile completely. Imagine the increase in confidence that comes with being able to laugh or smile freely. "I can smile without covering my mouth now... I never realized how much I held myself back because I was embarrassed about my teeth." This comment and similar comments by dozens of patients is what encourages us to continue providing this service. For many patients an improved smile is a life changing experience.

People judge us on our appearance and a person's smile is now considered to be the first thing that people notice. You can pretend that how your teeth look is not important but for many positions, especially those in the public view, a good looking smile is considered to be very important. A first impression can only be made once, and your smile is a significant part of that impression.

We have had patient's make significant career advancements after investing in their smiles. Obviously they have to be skilled at what they do, but too often advancement in a career has nothing to do with the skill sets a person has. How a person looks does play an important part in the opportunities they are presented with.

For most of our patients, confidence in themselves increased. Some paid more attention to how they looked, others all went places and did things they had never done before and all of them smiled wider than they ever had before.

The magic of a great smile comes from within the individual themself. When he or she realizes that they no longer have to cover their teeth and that they can laugh and smile freely, they relax in the presence of others and can truly be themselves. That's when the real magic happens.
