Teeth whitening rejuvenates the appearance of a dingy smile, and veneers cover up the flaws you want to hide. A beautiful smile is an obvious benefit of cosmetic dentistry, but have you considered the impact it could have on your overall health? Your holistic Southlake cosmetic dentist explains more below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Your Smile\u2019s Appearance Can Affect Your Health<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, your smile\u2019s appearance can really make a difference in your emotional and physical health. First of all, it\u2019s not surprising that people who are happy with the appearance of their smiles are more likely to, well, smile more. And the psychological benefits of flashing your grin are well-studied. A person who smiles a lot is likely to appear <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">more attractive<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to others, and may be perceived as being more successful and likeable, too. Smiling also <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2015\/02\/08\/smiling-benefits_n_6598840.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reduces stress<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and lifts the mood. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you grinning yet? There\u2019s another often-overlooked benefit of improving the appearance of your smile, and it\u2019s also psychological. When people are proud of their teeth, they are more likely to brush, floss, and visit the dentist regularly. That means investing in cosmetic dentistry can help you &#8212; in a most unexpected way &#8212; enjoy better oral and overall health for a lifetime to come. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cosmetic Services at Enclave Dental<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Preetha Thomas takes a holistic, conservative approach in all areas of dentistry &#8212; and cosmetic services require the same careful consideration patients have come to expect from Enclave Dental. With professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and all-ceramic restorations, your cosmetic dentist in Southlake perfects smiles while promoting overall health and wellbeing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Porcelain veneers are one of the most popular treatments in cosmetic dentistry. They are thin coverings made out of biocompatible dental porcelain. It\u2019s a material that looks and feels just like your natural tooth enamel, for a stunning smile. When properly maintained, porcelain veneers can last for a decade or more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Thomas also provides professional teeth whitening for patients who would like to rejuvenate the appearance of dingy, discolored teeth. A careful approach reduces tooth sensitivity, and a custom fit keeps your gums and soft oral tissues free from exposure to the high-powered gel. With both in-office and take-home whitening options available at Enclave Dental, you can reveal your results at the pace you are most comfortable achieving. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All-ceramic restorations improve the form and function of damaged or decayed teeth. Made of natural-looking, beautiful dental porcelain, they are also an excellent alternative for people who prefer a metal-free option in restorative dentistry. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Achieve Your Best Smile in 2017<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a new year, and there\u2019s never been a better time to consider making big improvements to the appearance of your smile. We invite you to contact our office to learn about what\u2019s possible with cosmetic dentistry! <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.enclavedental.com\/request-an-appointment.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Request an appointment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at Enclave Dental today. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You probably already know the basics of cosmetic dentistry.
