If you’re like most people, you want to have a healthy, beautiful smile. But how exactly does one determine what makes it beautiful? Typically, there are a few elements that we automatically notice that determine whether someone’s grin is good or bad. Here are just a few of these characteristics, and some amazing cosmetic dentistry treatments that can help you achieve them in your own smile!

Color

Color is one of the most important ways to determine whether a smile looks healthy and young. After all, most children have gleaming white smiles. Unfortunately, over time those smiles can turn colors due to diet, lifestyle, medications and simply by the natural aging process. Thankfully, you can reduce stains and discoloration easily with the help of treatments like professional whitening, dental bonding, and veneers and get your gorgeous grin looking like a kid again!

Spacing

The spacing of your teeth is another important indicator of a beautiful smile. Crooked positioning, excessively large gaps, bite problems, and crowding can all make the mouth look older, and can also be much harder to keep clean and healthy. Treating alignment issues discreetly with Invisalign can help improve the appearance and health of your smile faster and more comfortably than with traditional braces!

Midline

The midline is the line between your two central incisors (your two front teeth) that create symmetry throughout your face. If this is off, it can change your whole appearance, however it can be corrected with the help of solutions like Invisalign, dental bonding, or veneers.

Remember, there are several things that go into creating a beautiful smile. If you are missing one or more of these important elements, speak to your dentist today about the benefits of cosmetic dentistry. Together he or she can help you create a more healthy, harmonious appearance that achieves all your smile goals.
