When Halloween rolls around, people who are embarrassed by their smiles can begin to feel a little awkward. Creepy masks sporting fake teeth are boldly on display in costume stores and pop up on the street, and when these fake smiles look a little too much like your own – broken-down, stained, and in major disrepair – you may find yourself covering up your teeth more often than usual. Instead of tricking yourself into feeling better by indulging in Halloween candy, treat yourself instead and invest in a smile makeover.
Stained teeth are one of the biggest cosmetic complaints when it comes to a person’s smile. And this is a problem that is so easily solved. Whether your stains or darkened teeth are from age, smoking, coffee, wine, antibiotics, or any other reason, professional teeth whitening only takes one hour in the dentist’s chair to makeover your smile. You’ll leave the office feeling brighter, cleaner, smarter, healthier, and happier.

Smile Makeovers Are for Anyone and Age Is Just a Number
For dental problems that go a little deeper, a more thorough smile makeover may be necessary. Too often, people try to live with whatever oral health issue is plaguing them, believing it’s just easier to accept the chipped front tooth, the cracked molar, the misaligned teeth. You’re never too old – or too young, for that matter – to change your smile for the better.
Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dentistry solutions. The application of wafer-thin veneers to the front of your teeth transforms your smile, lengthens your teeth, plumps out your lips, and helps minimize wrinkles. Veneers are an amazing innovation in cosmetic dentistry, and they’re custom-designed for your face and smile so that your smile makeover looks natural.
Restore Your Smile to New Health
When you are dealing with serious foundation issues within your smile like gum disease and loose or missing teeth, restorative dentistry is likely in order. Don’t assume that because you’ve reached a certain age that dental problems are inevitable. A missing tooth is a big deal, and not determining why it happened and replacing it will begin to age you even more – missing teeth can lead to jowls and hollow-looking cheeks.
Dental implants are the permanent alternative to dentures, which means you don’t have to feel like you’re old beyond your years, worrying about adhesives and the permanence of your fake teeth. Dental implants are secure, natural-looking, and allow you to eat and speak confidently. They feel like natural teeth and act like them too, replacing the missing groundwork of your smile.
You’re wearing a costume when you live with a smile that doesn’t make you happy, and that actually delivers a blow to your self-confidence. Sometimes smiles break down, whether it’s from lack of care or whether you’re genetically predisposed to oral health problems. It doesn’t matter how you’ve gotten to this point of disrepair, the goal is to move through the embarrassment of a broken smile, sign up for your smile makeover, and look forward to what’s possible: a new, attractive grin that you can be proud to wear, on Halloween and all year through. You’ll look like yourself – only better.
