Feeling comfortable with your body, whether in the way you walk, speak, or look, is a key to happiness. This is why cosmetic procedures are available to help people correct their body’s imperfections. Porcelain veneer treatments are one of the many ways you can become more confident with your body. However, you have to earn your way to a winning smile by figuring out a few signs to tell you if you’re ready for it.

Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you. So, if you are not happy with your smile and don’t feel confident, it may feel like that’s all that people notice about you. Now, there is no shortage of reasons why you might lack confidence in your teeth. Teeth might be chipped or cracked. A tooth might be discolored, or the alignment might be significantly off.

Patients often ask us, “What is cosmetic dentistry?” Sometimes they ask out of curiosity and other times because they feel self-conscious about their smile. After all, who doesn’t want to flash a confident smile? 

After learning “What is cosmetic dentistry,” the next question is usually, “Is it right for me?” The answer varies greatly from person to person. Basically, if you feel that the appearance of your smile is making you feel less confident or holding you back than cosmetic dentistry is worth considering.

Botox injections are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments for people who aim to maintain a more youthful appearance. Along with tooth whitening, botox is a non-surgical procedure that helps many people feel more confident and less self-conscious. In fact, some patients ask us, can dentists do Botox?

The answer is yes! Dentists have joined the ranks of other healthcare professionals who offer Botox services. In fact, our own Dr. Kelly is one of the dentists qualified to perform Botox injections. A more important question to ask is why a patient may prefer receiving their injections from a dentist.
