Instead of being overly concerned about what expressions of love you may or may not receive from that special someone in your life on February 14, figure out how to make Valentine’s Day a success on your own. If you feel like you’re just not representing yourself in the best way, ask yourself if it’s because you’re ashamed of your smile. Are you worried about how people perceive you when you open your mouth? Whether you’re single or married, dating or divorced, your smile matters, and the state of your smile affects how you present yourself to others.
Here are five easy ways to show your smile some love, with the help of your Manhattan cosmetic dentist:
1. Go from dark to light
For people who are seeking a mind-blowing change to their smile, a professional teeth-whitening treatment will get the job done. In about an hour, your smile can be up to seven shades whiter. Discoloration and stains will be blasted away by the strong bleaching agents used by your dentist. Over-the-counter treatments may be able to whiten your smile for a little while, but they aren’t going to get down deep and suck out what’s really stuck in your enamel.

2. Pretend you’re a celeb
It may feel like celebrities have the best of everything, but they are not the only people with access to an experienced Manhattan cosmetic dentist. Celeb smiles are some of the most enviable on the planet, and that’s because they know the secret to a stunning smile makeover: porcelain veneers. The beauty of porcelain veneers is that they are incredibly versatile, correcting several problems at once, from tooth stains to misalignment, crooked teeth to short teeth, gapped teeth to chipped teeth. You’ll be ready for your close up when you opt for porcelain veneers.

3. Detox your teeth
If you’re of a certain age, you may be saddled with far too many amalgam silver fillings. Not only do these fillings mar your smile, sticking out like a sore thumb, they can eventually begin to leach into the enamel and gums surrounding the affected tooth. This side effect is unsightly, plus the fillings are just plain toxic, riddled with mercury which passes into your system. Tooth-colored fillings are not only natural-looking, repairing your teeth so that they look like they’ve never had a problem, they are made of a safe, mercury-free composite that does not negatively impact your overall health.

4. Choose your crowning glory
If you have a damaged or fractured tooth, a porcelain tooth crown is the fast and natural-looking repair that gives you a gorgeous smile. Tooth crowns are often used in conjunction with root canal therapy, covering the affected enamel with an attractive prosthetic tooth. But above all, porcelain crowns are versatile, correcting everything from chips and cracks to misshapen teeth, whitening severely discolored teeth to supporting dental bridges.
