Are you embarrassed by the color, shape, position, or condition of your teeth and fear they are only acceptable during a holiday that celebrates zombies and other creatures? You deserve to be confident about your smile all year, not just at Halloween when you can get away with anything. Embrace the idea of a customized smile makeover and find out how to make it happen.
Transform a Jack ‘o’ Lantern Smile
Plenty of pumpkins become Jack ‘o’ lanterns every Halloween, with toothy grins made by shaky carving knives. These gourds are imperfect, and they are better for their flaws, but it’s natural for you to want a smile that is perfect and won’t cave in on itself with the passing of time.
Many people aim for quick fixes, especially when a special occasion is on the horizon, but it’s smart and cost-effective to invest in a lasting smile makeover. Instead of trying to transform teeth for this Halloween alone, consider:
- Teeth whitening if you want brighter teeth that shine flawlessly, even if they’re not.
- Porcelain veneers if you hope to conceal every imperfection in your smile.
- Invisalign if you’re ready to close gaps, turn twisted teeth, and get a straight smile permanently.
Smile Makeovers: Better Than Makeup
If you love dramatic makeup for Halloween, whether skeleton, witch, clown, or dentist, you may notice certain colors affect the shade of your natural teeth. Red lipstick of the wrong hue can make teeth look more yellow while red lip stain of the right hue could create brighter teeth. Wouldn’t it be easier to have white, shining teeth no matter what?
With teeth whitening, you can make teeth up to seven times whiter with professional bleaching. Invest in customized porcelain veneers and they will cover every imperfection and make your smile look beautiful, whatever costume you wear from year to year.
Make a Permanent Change Not a Temporary Fix
Some people love to go dark and creepy with their Halloween costume. It’s an opportunity to make discolored or deteriorating teeth part of their look, at least for a night. That temporary reprieve from worrying about what people think of your smile, though, can make you feel sadder and more self-conscious than ever about the state of your teeth.
Wouldn’t it be nice to feel confident about your teeth all year, costume or not? Wouldn’t it be more fun to disguise a beautiful smile so you can be a zombie or other creature most foul for Halloween instead of trying to make a costume fit your teeth? Restorative dentistry treatments like dental crowns, bridges, and full-mouth reconstruction correct problems and beautify your teeth at the same time.
If Halloween is the only time of year you feel comfortable showing off your natural teeth, it’s time to talk to your Louisville dentist to discover what can be done to improve your smile – functionally and cosmetically. Some procedures will take time and others can be done in one dental visit. Don’t let your costume speak for you, let your teeth speak for themselves.
