Is It True? Teeth Are So Embarrassing They Don't Even Smile?
How often do we run into unfriendly people? Walking up the street, shopping in the store, even in personal or professional situations ? and do we assume people are unhappy when they don't smile? The dentists at Bright Side Dental in Detroit, Michigan discovered that some of these "unfriendly" people are merely too self-conscious about their teeth to smile.
One patient explains, "Before I had my teeth corrected with porcelain veneers, I was very unhappy with the way my teeth looked. They had very large spaces and were old looking and I was embarrassed by my smile. I would look at my pictures and cringe. My friends say that they never even noticed but I surely did!"
Dentists meet with people all the time who tell them that they are just too embarrassed to smile. Some even hear of those that became recluse in order to avoid confronting their teeth. These people can come off looking depressed or snobby or gloomy. Self-conscious, they merely opt to not smile.
Of course, other people have unsightly smiles and seem to not even know it. Missing teeth, crooked teeth, yellowed teeth ? these are commonplace in important work and personal situations and can really create a bad impression.
"I would wonder if the impression that I made in business meetings was hindered by the look of my teeth.", the patient continues. "When I looked in the mirror, all I would notice was my teeth. I wanted to get ahead in my profession but with first impressions being so important, I could not help but think that I was damaging my reputation because I had never gotten braces as child."
A new smile can be important, whether for personal or professional motives. Bright Side Dental, with three Detroit, Michigan locations, is the office to get new porcelain veneers. In less than a month, with just two or three appointments, it is possible to achieve an all-new smile!
This patient was so relieved with her results: "When I walked into this office, I didn't know what to expect. I wasn't happy with the dental group I had at the time, and I just took a chance and selected a new one without any referrals. I am happy to say that right from the first appointment, I was pleased with my selection. There were many indications that this is a ¡ÆWell-run office'. I had a lot of work done to my teeth, some long appointments; however, everyone did everything in their power to make me feel more comfortable."
"Recently, this office has made me even happier with their service. Thanks to Dr. Neme and his staff, my smile was drastically improved and I thought it would take a miracle to do that. I didn't wear braces when I was supposed to. I developed some other problems due to a fall and decay, and for years I was self-conscious about my smile. Now, I am happy to say, I can feel comfortable smiling with my totally natural veneers. I am forever grateful for such an excellent job. Dr. Neme and staff, Thank You!!"
