Health & Happiness Can Start with a Smile!

You know what a smile can do. It is an amazing way to communicate happiness and joy, to encourage a stranger, to warm up a room, to show your kids you are proud of them. It even makes you feel healthier just by wearing one as often as possible. But if your smile is broken, discolored, or flawed in a way that embarrases you, you are really missing out on all the benefits a smile can offer.

Your Joy Prescription

According to an article written by Ronald E. Riggio, Ph.D. in Psychology Today, “Smiling activates the release of neuropeptides that work toward fighting off stress,” he writes. “The feel good neurotransmitters dopamine, endorphins and serotonin are all released when a smile flashes across your face as well. This not only relaxes your body, but it can lower your heart rate and blood pressure.”

But that’s not all, he further reports that pain-killing endorphins and anti-depressant serotonin are released as well – all without the side effects of prescription medications! Plus, smiling is FREE!

How Our Cosmetic Services Can Help

Clearly, cosmetic dentistry isn’t just for stars and celebrities anymore. In fact, you may have noticed some mysterious improvement in a neighbor or coworker’s appearance and wondered exactly what was going on. They may have had some cosmetic dental care! Even something as simple and convenient as a tooth whitening can take years off your appearance and brighten your entire look. It can even make unevenness or gaps seem less noticeable.

If you need more than a whitening to bring back your confidence, our gorgeous porcelain veneers can completely transform and repair any smile. If you are looking for a more conservative option, composite dental bonding can also repair, correct, and conceal quite effectively. You’d be amazed at what a difference a few, small changes can make.
