A couple thoughts about why we do what we do

One of the most gratifying aspects about being a cosmetic dentist is seeing cosmetic patients gain confidence. This is an amazing phenomenon that is discussed among cosmetic dentists all the time. When patients see their new smile for the first time, it's often a very emotional experience and tears of joy are quite typical and very gratifiying to everyone present for this moment . When someone sees an area that they consider a flaw suddenly transformed into a strength, you can see them lower their guard. All of a sudden, it’s okay for the rest of us see their real personality come out.

Here is an interesting observation about confidence. Attractive personalities draw people in because they seem so natural expressing themselves. The truth is, they are relaxed and comfortable with how they appear. That quality is translated into confidence. This is one of the main reasons people seek out cosmetic dentists to enhance their smiles.

We get a lot of patients who just want to let their "Real Me" out for everyone to see but won’t because they are unhappy with their smile. I think this is why we see so many dramatic changes in personality and confidence with cosmetic dentistry. It really is gratifying.

Maybe you are thinking about cosmetic dentistry for this reason. If you are, email me here and we can set up a consultation to discuss the possibilities for you.
