If you were home alone on Valentine’s Day – and you weren’t happy about it – then it’s time to figure out if your teeth are preventing you from finding love. When you’re honest with yourself, you know the hang-ups that are holding you back from accepting a date with someone new, or putting yourself out there on dating sites. Quite often, it’s a person’s appearance that prevents them from saying yes to opportunities for finding love. If you’re seeking a way to “better” yourself, put time and energy where it will really make a difference – aesthetically and emotionally – invest in a smile makeover.
1. Your unwillingness to smile makes you unattractive.
When people smile, they look happy and healthy. Smiles are welcoming and encouraging. When your smile is in no condition to show off, then you undoubtedly spend plenty of time trying to hide your smile behind your hand, or not smiling at all. And preventing yourself from smiling just makes you look grumpy, stern, and anything but lovable. You’re so worried that your teeth make you look unattractive, but your unwillingness to smile is the real problem. No matter your age, you must – and can – fix the cause of the issue: your teeth.

2. You’re ashamed of your teeth.
If you don’t love yourself, how can you allow others to love you? If you’re saying no to opportunities for love because you’re embarrassed by the condition of your teeth and gums, it’s time to make a change. So many people simply hide away, not even bothering with online dating let alone getting out in social situations and capturing opportunities to meet someone new. When you’re so ashamed of your smile that you have turned into a hermit, this is a clear sign that you need to make a change for your own emotional and mental well-being, as well as for your love life.

3. Your confidence is at rock bottom because of your broken-down smile.
When you’re so self-conscious about your appearance, you may not even be able to recognize when love is right in front of you. Are you rejecting a flirtatious advance because you aren’t confident about the smile you’ll offer someone in return? Are you stifling your own feelings about a special person because you don’t feel good about the image you present? Your teeth are the focal point of your face. Customized cosmetic dentistry solutions will redefine your self-image and self-worth.

4. Your teeth make you look older than you are.
You may take great care of your teeth, but some people are simply predisposed to having dark teeth. Or perhaps you’ve missed dental exams and professional cleanings over the years, or opted not to take care of damaged teeth. Either way, when your teeth are stained or broken-down, they may you look older than you are. And if you already feel like you’re too old to find love, a smile that’s neglected certainly doesn’t help. Cosmetic dentistry is age-defying, and the right procedures can actually make you look younger. Teeth whitening, of course, brightens up a smile, but treatments like porcelain veneers can plump up your lips and reduce fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth.
5. You think you’re a poor candidate for a smile makeover.
No matter your age, demographic, or profession, there is a smile makeover that’s right for you. Perhaps your cosmetic dentistry needs an upgrade – you’re not alone. Maybe you want a straight smile but you think orthodontia is out of the question – it’s not. Invisalign is always a possibility, but so are porcelain veneers (and they fix multiple problems by whitening, straightening, lengthening, and shaping your teeth all at one time). And maybe you think your smile is beyond repair – this is never the case. Even if you’re suffering with gum disease, you can still have a beautiful smile once the foundation of your smile has been properly repaired.
