5 Ways Cosmetic Dentistry Improves Self-Image

Serving areas of Okemos, Lansing, and East Lansing, MI

Smiles are unique. We all have one, but that doesn’t mean everyone feels confident about their smile. It could be the color or shape of your teeth that make you feel embarrassed. Perhaps you have missing teeth with obvious gaps. Those things could affect your confidence, but don’t let it impact yours. Let Tenaglia Smiles help build your self-confidence through cosmetic dentistry. We’ve gathered a list of the top five ways that cosmetic dentistry in Okemos could help you.

Correcting crooked teeth or a gap between teeth: Many people have doubts about the way that their smile looks, especially among those with crooked or gapped teeth. For many people experiencing these issues, anxiety takes hold. Okemos cosmetic dentist, Dr. Christine Tenaglia, can correct or hide these issues, so you don’t have to worry in social situations any longer. You can feel confident at job interviews, on first dates, when taking pictures, and when meeting people every day. Porcelain veneers can be a great option to enhance your smile.

Discolored teeth: Even if your teeth are strong, straight, and healthy, they probably will start to develop stains over time. Dingy discoloration and staining happen to most people at some point, even those with fantastic oral hygiene. Coffee, wine, and other foods can discolor teeth—as can age and tobacco use. Dr. Tenaglia can treat discoloration or stains by performing a professional teeth whitening procedure using the Zoom! System.

Broken, chipped, or cracked teeth: Your teeth are not indestructible. Injuries and accidents can happen to anyone, creating aesthetic issues, and potential oral health hazards. Dr. Tenaglia can use a variety of methods to repair your teeth. This may involve placing veneers or, in cases of severe damage, replacing the entire exterior with a porcelain crown.

Missing teeth: It’s impossible to conceal your smile if you have a missing tooth. A lost tooth can be demoralizing to your appearance while also hindering your chewing ability. However, it is an easily treatable issue that Tenaglia Smiles would be happy to correct. We can replace lost teeth by installing bridges or implants.

Reversing signs of aging: Did you know that your smile can start to show signs of aging long before your face or body does? Having teeth that are damaged, discolored, or missing can make you appear older than you are. Dr. Tenaglia uses state-of-the-art cosmetic dentistry to take years off your smile.
