Dear Reader,
In our many years of practice, we have noticed patients trying to hide their teeth while smiling. Isn't this a strange thing because every time you come in front of the camera, the photographer asks you to say "Cheese" which means maximum display of teeth while you smile??
We understand this concept today, because as dentists, we are today seeing more and more patients with improperly positioned teeth or excessive show of gums becoming tremendously conscious of their appearance. But why should these factors mar your appearance or lower your confidence??
Have you ever looked at your favourite actor/actress and wondered how it is that they look so beautiful all the time? Have you ever found yourself smiling while watching them smile?
While on that thought, may we ask do you want to look just as attractive?? Good make-up can only make your skin look better but it is their confident smile that actually charms you.
With advancements in dentistry and the fact that people and you judge your appearance constantly, its time you understand the various procedures we offer for that perfect smile.
A bright and attractive smile creates a winning first impression and even without saying a word, your smile can lure people to you. A recent survey revealed that:
- Over 75% of people don't feel confident to smile in a photograph.
- Over 45% of people make judgements about people by the look of their smile.
- Over 75% of people think that a beautiful smile helps people psychologically.
- Over 65% of people think that an attractive smile helps romantically.
A good smile involves in it more than just healthy teeth and gums. It is a blend of symmetry, color, shape and lines that create a balanced harmonious smile. The various attributes of a smile can be favorably altered for a complete change in the smile. Smile designing deals with the remodeling of the teeth and supporting structures so as to give a complete new look to the patient. It is with this aim that I'm introducing this book with information on various dental procedures that can alter your smile favourably.
All the cases that have been displayed in this book are procedures done by us. We hope this book conveys the information and the expertise we maintain in our clinic. We have also enclosed General Dentistry procedures to help you understand dental health and hygiene better.
