What is Your Best Smile Like?

Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures FAQ's

Your smile is one of the first things anybody notices about you. If you feel that your smile is healthy and attractive-looking, you will likely smile more often and with more confidence. Your smile will be in your eyes as well as on your mouth. A confident smile presents you as a confident person, which inspires respect and confidence in others. There is a chain of events here that starts with a beautiful smile.

Health is the Foundation of Beauty

An attractive smile must first be a healthy smile. Cosmetic dentistry both establishes dental health and also builds on it to increase attractiveness. An example of that is porcelain fillings.

A porcelain filling takes care of everything a metal filling used to take care of, and more. It also strengthens the tooth, bonding it together and lengthening its life. That increases dental health. A porcelain filling increases dental beauty by being invisible as a filling – it matches your natural tooth color and blends in so well that nobody will know it is there. There is no dark gray color to mar your bright smile.

Some other procedures that address both health and beauty are porcelain crowns , dental bonding, and Invisalign tooth straightening.

Your Best Smile is Bright

Time and daily food and drinks gradually discolor our teeth. They become yellowed or dulled, perhaps stained. This lowers the brightness of your face when you smile. However, it is easily remedied with a Zoom! Teeth Whitening procedure. Dr. Worthington can often whiten your teeth many shades in just over an hour in his office.

If you prefer to do it yourself, he can supply you with a home kit containing two customized trays and professional-strength whitening gel. Either way, you can have dramatically whiter teeth from a simple process if you are indeed a candidate.

Your Smile is Unique

Connecticut Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Worthington approaches each person’s dental care in an individual way. Your smile is yours alone, and when he starts to plan your smile improvements, he will look at your overall facial shape, your facial movements, the way your lips change when you smile, and the way your upper and lower teeth meet (your bite).

If he determines that porcelain veneers would be an excellent way to correct some smile defects, he will look at the shape of your smile and plan a veneer line that will complement and enhance it.

He will discuss options with you and explain how each one might enhance your smile. Before he begins any work, he will make sure you understand the advantages and disadvantages of each option, and why some are better for you than others.

The first step in achieving your best smile is to contact Dr. Worthington for a free smile makeover consultation. Our office serves Westport, Fairfield, Darien and New Canaan, Connecticut and we look forward to meeting with you.
