When you are not at all pleased with the way your smile looks, there are a couple main paths you may find yourself following. For some, time spent feeling upset and embarrassed may lead to sadness and guilt. For others, a deep desire to feel good and confident again will quickly lead to some serious motivation. Our suggestion? Choose the path that’s most proactive, so you can get your smile back with cosmetic dentistry! Think it’s easier said than done? We can help.
Remember, Sadness And Guilt Won’t Help!
Yes, we agree, if your smile becomes discolored as the result of a medication, if an accidental trauma damages your tooth, or if something you did (or didn’t do) leads to esthetic problems, it’s normal to feel a bit down in the dumps. However, heading down this road is only going to leave you with the following:
- A smile that has not been treated with cosmetic dentistry yet
- A smile that still leaves you feeling unhappy
- A smile that may actually harm you by negatively affecting your self-esteem and causing you to hide out instead of feel good about yourself
Harnessing Motivation Is Key!
All it takes is the tiniest spark of motivation to turn your smile that you feel unhappy with into something you can truly feel proud to call your own. As a result, we encourage you to shake off the momentary disappointment and consider the following:
- If you contributed to your smile damage, remember: You can learn from your mistakes, so you never need to dislike your smile again
- Scheduling a cosmetic dentistry consultation will give you all of the information you need regarding how to improve your smile
- When you feel good about yourself, you feel more motivated about everything else in your life!
