It’s another new year. Did you make any resolutions? If you did, you’re not alone. About 60% of Americans kicked off this year by making one or more resolutions. Most of these involve getting more fit, or healthier.
Making resolutions for new beginnings is the easy part. Fulfilling them is more difficult, as studies show that only about 8% of us will actually achieve these resolutions. So, what’s an easy resolution that will help you look and feel better, and healthier in 2020? Smiling more! Smiling reduces stress, helps you live longer, helps others feel better and is good for your relationship –> learn more about the powers of your smile!
OK, so smiling more in 2020 is definitely a great resolution, but what if you’re uncomfortable sharing your smile because you’re self-conscious about your teeth?Surprisingly, many of us go to the extremes to hide our smiles. One study claims that 57% of Americans cover their mouths when they laugh, because they’re insecure about how their teeth look. And one in two people also prefer to smile with their mouth closed. Chipped, discolored, broken, or missing teeth can get in the way of a beautiful smile
Luckily, we offer 4 common dental solutions that can help you bring back your smile, and keep you smiling throughout 2020.
4 Ways to Start Your New Year with a New Smile

They look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. Most people who undergo an implant procedure don’t feel any difference between their implants and their natural teeth. What they do notice is the remarkable ability to enjoy crunchy, crispy foods, and smile with confidence. For function and aesthetics, implants are better than other alternatives. Schedule a consultation to learn how dental implants can be used to replace one or more missing teeth. - Veneers – No More Chipped, Worn or Uneven Teeth!
Porcelain veneers are ultra-thin shells of ceramic material, which are bonded to the front of your teeth. They can restore chipped or worn teeth, close spaces, and even lengthen teeth that are uneven. Veneers also help mask discolorations and can keep your smile bright because they’re highly resistant to permanent staining from coffee, tea or even red wine! - Invisalign Braces – An Easier Way to Straighten Your Teeth!
Want straighter teeth, without wearing visible braces? Then Invisalign® is for you; it’s designed to be invisible so you can go on with your life without being self conscious of your braces. These plastic aligners comfortably fit over your teeth and you can take them out when you’re eating, or when you brush and floss your teeth. Besides correcting crooked teeth, Invisalign can fix gaps between your teeth, an overbite, underbite and other dental issues. If you’d like to learn more about Invisalign, and whether it will work for you, request an Invisalign consultation today.
