Teeth, of course, are nothing like a skyscraper, a bridge, a museum, or any notable New York City structure. However, there are some things that smile makeovers and NYC landmarks have in common. If you are a tried-and-true New Yorker, or just wish you were, the following comparisons between NYC landmarks and smile transformations can help inspire self-care for your smile.
Be Proud Like the Statue of Liberty
You want attention, you demand it, or your job foists it upon you. Whatever the reason you’re in the spotlight, your smile must always look its best in your larger-than-life occupation. From actors to attorneys, finance experts to journalists, CEOs to literary agents, you are on display with colleagues, employees, clients, and more – and that means your teeth are too.
What do you need to stand out like Lady Liberty? Certainly not a literal crown or torch, but there are uniform, shine-building cosmetic dentistry treatments that can transform your teeth. For a quick smile makeover, talk to your NYC cosmetic dentist about professional teeth whitening. For a major makeover, it’s time to discuss porcelain veneers.
Shine Bright Like the Brooklyn Bridge
The historic Brooklyn Bridge is known for its iconic arches and perceived perfection in every wire and suspension cable. Your smile makeover can be constructed just as elegantly and convey flawlessness even if the journey requires multiple cosmetic dentistry or restorative dentistry procedures.
Sometimes, smile makeovers require several treatments to perfect a smile functionally and aesthetically. This might involve placing prepless veneers and a few porcelain crowns to strengthen weak teeth, or filling spaces with a dental bridge or dental implants. The construction of your smile is unique to you, just like the Brooklyn Bridge, and it’s okay to take your time so you can appreciate the art of the journey and your Manhattan cosmetic dentist can get it just right.
Look Natural Like Central Park
If back-to-basics is your general approach to life, you’re likely drawn to the most natural part of New York City – Central Park. Making decisions for your smile can be just as straightforward as parking yourself on your favorite patch of green or jogging on your favorite path or reading on your preferred bench.
Central Park is about honoring the natural world and a slower, softer slice of life amid construction and noise. Your smile can deliver the same kind of message, and investing in cosmetic dentistry that corrects problems subtly is a great way to get a beautiful, natural-looking smile. Tooth-colored fillings can fix cavities, of course, but they can also tweak an unsightly tooth. The same goes for a porcelain crown or veneer.
Build Your Own NYC Smile Makeover
Your NYC cosmetic dentist, of course, does not propose that you rebuild your smile into a Manhattan landmark, but do take a moment to consider the features around you and compare your smile needs to feel good about a smile makeover.
Whether the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and its unique curves speak to you, or if you have always loved the Empire State Building and its observation decks, think about the ongoing maintenance these NYC structures need to stay in stellar shape. You too deserve some TLC to keep your smile shining bright.
