Presenting Your Best Self
by Susan Roberge, DDS
Presenting your best self never goes out of style. The most important day of your life, be it your wedding day, job interview, or sales presentation, should reflect
your self confidence and joy. A more confident you will make others take notice. What draws us to someone can most often be their appearance. There is no
dispute that one of the most important attributes to have is an attractive smile.

The first step in getting those pearly whites looking their best involves the help of your dentist. There are many ways to improve your smile. After a thorough
evaluation, a plan to outline the best course of action can be made. He or she can evaluate your particular concerns to determine the best options available that fit
into your life. There are many procedures the dentist is trained in that can help you achieve your desired outcome. Once the problems that negatively impact your
smile are determined, a treatment plan can be created.

Crooked or mal-aligned teeth, short or long teeth, too much or too little gum tissue, and badly shaped or dark colored teeth are cosmetic concerns that can
influence the way you look.

Straightening your teeth with braces or clear plastic trays called Invisalign can move the teeth into their proper position to maximize your smile potential. If the gum
tissue has receded creating too long looking teeth, simple procedures can change the gum line. The shape and contour of the teeth can be enhanced by bonding
materials like composite and porcelain. Tooth position and color can also be improved with dental bonding veneers.

If color is your primary concern, you might want to try bleaching your teeth. There are several methods available to lighten the color of your teeth.

Whitening strips are sold over the counter and are thin plastic films containing a mild form of bleaching gel. You fold the film over your teeth for about an hour
several times a week for a few months until you notice a color change.

Another system involves having your dental team make custom fitting trays for your teeth into which you place the whitening gel. The trays are worn for about an
hour for a few days to get the desired results. The benefit to this system is you can purchase a higher concentration of bleaching gel that whitens your teeth faster.

The quickest way to whiten your smile is in the dental office. Under supervision, the highest concentration of whitening gel can be used to bleach your teeth whiter
and faster. The process takes about an hour.

In today’s ever competitive world, presenting your best self might be the deciding edge that gets you what you want. Doesn’t everyone deserve that?
