Can Dentists Help You Regain Your Confidence?

See how treatments we offer at our Burton dental practice can help you feel more confident again.

A lack or loss of confidence can be caused by many things, with many of these being out of the scope of what we can help with. However, confidence starts with the way that we feel about ourselves and there are a number of treatment that we offer which can certainly help with that. It may not be a complete panacea for any issues you might have, but an attractive smile and confidence in your teeth can certainly get you off to a very good start.

Being more confident not only makes you feel better about yourself but others notice too. This can be of real help if you are dating or attending job interviews for example. Mature confidence and a winning smile might be just the thing that gives you that important edge.

Restorations

We provide a range of restorative options at SG Dental and Implant Centre and will discuss the most appropriate options with you following an assessment. Treatments such as fillings or the restoring of teeth with a crown not only (but importantly) protect the tooth from further damage but mean that you can feel more confident about their ability to do what they are supposed to do. For example, if you are on a date and sharing food, your potential date might wonder if you are a picky eater if you avoid certain foods simply because you don’t trust your teeth to handle them. Modern restorations mean that, in the main, this is something you shouldn’t need to worry about.

Orthodontics

The UK has a reputation for having crooked teeth. This has been exaggerated by its use in comedy sketches, especially in the USA where cosmetic dentistry has been popular for longer. There is some truth though that many people avoid having their teeth straightened due to the visibility and inconvenience of traditional braces. The good news now is that systems such as Invisalign aligners can provide you with even and straight teeth in a very discreet and convenient manner. If you have crooked teeth, or even a single crooked tooth that spoils an otherwise attractive smile, please talk to one of our Burton dentists so that we can help you.

Teeth whitening

This one is probably no surprise. Whitening has become increasingly popular and common over the years, probably due to it being widely publicised by celebrities etc. It is said that one of the first things that people notice about us is our smile, and if that smile is stained or discoloured, then that probably isn’t the impression that we want to make. The teeth whitening procedure is both non-invasive and affordable and the method that we use also allows you to carry out much of this at home following an assessment and demonstration by our cosmetic dentists. Within a couple of weeks, you can see a real difference in the whiteness of your teeth; a new smile that we feel sure will help to boost your self confidence.

Hygienist treatments

You might think that seeing the hygienist will make little difference to your confidence, but we think that you will be surprised. Even if your gums aren’t bleeding or especially sore, that doesn’t necessarily mean that gum disease is not present.

One of the biggest self confidence issues that poor oral health can cause is that of halitosis. If you have gum disease, there is a good chance that you will have bad breath. This varies in intensity of course but can be very pungent to the point that people involuntarily move away when you speak to them.  If we tell you that a good portion of the smell comes from bacteria basically having flatulence in your mouth from digesting sugars etc, we think you will get the picture.

Following a scale and polish procedure by the hygienist, not only will your breath improve but you will also notice how much cleaner your teeth and mouth feel. If you do this on a regular six monthly basis, this can make a real difference to your oral health and your self confidence. There are other treatments available which can help, such as the use of dental implants to replace a missing tooth. Not only does this add strength but also avoids the lack of confidence from your denture wobbling around when you are talking to someone.

Why not take the first step in not only improving your oral health but also how you feel about yourself, by booking an appointment with us for a full assessment? We can then suggest a treatment plan and help to restore your oral health and perhaps, your social life and career too.
