Tinsel, twinkle lights, and ornaments can already be found right beside pumpkins, scarecrows, and Halloween candy. While we don’t necessarily endorse celebrating one holiday before the other has even passed, we do encourage you to give some thought to your smile makeover wish list this time of year or any other.

Will Halloween Candy Ruin Your Smile Makeover?
The National Retail Federation reports that consumers plan to spend $2.7 billion on Halloween candy this year. Trick-or-treaters won’t be the only people consuming this candy, though. It’s tough to have so much sugar in your house without being tempted by it yourself. How will your teeth fare in the process? A hearty Halloween season in Midtown Manhattan may finally convince you that a smile makeover is in order.
Want a Permanent Costume? Choose a Smile Makeover
Halloween is the time of year to dress up and pretend you’re someone else, at least for a few hours. Maybe you pop in a set of vampire fangs, or perhaps you’re a mime who doesn’t open their mouth at all. If you find yourself seeking out a costume that doesn’t draw any attention to your teeth, it’s time to think about why you’re concealing your smile. If you’re embarrassed or self-conscious about the appearance of your teeth, the costume you need to be considering – permanently – is a smile makeover.
Perfect Your Fangs with Porcelain Veneers
The canine teeth (aka eye teeth) flank the front incisors in a human’s mouth. Some people have pointy, prominent canines, making these teeth the perfect accessory when dressing like an immortal for Halloween. There was even a recent Japanese trend to make this fang-look permanent, not so people could resemble someone in Dracula’s family tree, but to be more attractive. In the U.S., however, unless you’re working an unusual job in Manhattan or are in favor of an undead cultural shift, many people who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their canine teeth choose porcelain veneers as a solution.
