Let’s face it: Looks matter. We are a looks-obsessed society. And it doesn’t matter if you’re a socialite, a Kardashian, a stockbroker, a model, a salesperson, or a teacher, how your teeth look will impact your level of success in life, especially when you live or work in Manhattan. A smile makeover can catapult you into a new echelon of your career.
Changing jobs can be compared to selling a house. You want to make sure that home is in tip-top shape before you officially put it on the market. Every doorknob, light fixture, faucet, and piece of molding matters – buyers look at the details. Sure, a new roof is nice, and so is a finished basement – these are solid, undeniable facts on your home’s spec sheet – but there are certain characteristics that seal the deal. The same goes for you, as you sell yourself in a job interview or client meeting. You could be wearing a designer suit or flashing a Rolex, you might have an MBA or an internship with a coveted editor under your belt, but the lasting impression you will leave with your potential new colleagues comes from your face: your smile.
Manhattan Cosmetic Dentistry for Professionals
If you’re ready to add a smile makeover to your resume, you may not know where to begin. There are plenty of options. The first thing to know is that, no matter your age or station in life, a smile makeover is possible for you. You could be fresh out of college and ready to start your career. You could be a stay-at-home mom ready to get back in the work force. You could be a retiree who isn’t ready to hang up their professional hat just yet.
Smile makeovers are not just for people who have oral health problems. You can have a healthy smile and want a cosmetic dentistry procedure. In fact, you’re the best candidate for cosmetic dentistry in Manhattan if you already have a solid foundation of healthy teeth and gums. Here are just some of the options available to you:
- Porcelain veneers: If you think of the most amazing smiles out there, it’s a safe bet to assume that porcelain veneers are behind many of them. Customized to suit a person’s smile, veneers are carefully crafted in size, shape, length, translucency, and color so that they look natural and make your smile into a superstar grin.
- Teeth whitening: The easiest and fastest route to a brand new smile is teeth whitening. Job interview in two days? There’s time for a professional teeth whitening treatment, which only takes about an hour in the dentist’s office. You can get your teeth up to eight shades brighter than they are now, and there will be no discomfort with the preparations that your cosmetic dentist makes, unlike over-the-counter products that can cause irritation.
- Porcelain crowns: Maybe you have a few teeth that are gnarly looking or just don’t resemble your other teeth. Maybe you have a damaged tooth or two, or are dealing with some cracks and chips. Porcelain crowns will transform your smile naturally, disguising the problem tooth with a strong porcelain crown that is bonded to your enamel.
- Dental implants: If you have any missing teeth or holes in your smile, dental implants are an absolute necessity. You are not only repairing the look of your smile but you’re improving the health and functionality of your smile. You will no longer be self-conscious about big spaces in your smile – dental implants are permanent and long-lasting. They look natural and feel so normal you’ll forget you even have them.
How you look is important in every profession, some more so than others. If you’re in front of people, whether all day or just sometimes, your smile plays a role in how those interactions proceed. If you need to boost your resume, invest in a smile makeover. Contact Manhattan dentist Dr. Michael J. Wei to learn more about your smile makeover options. Make an appointment today.
