What Can I Do To Improve My Smile?

My Formal Is Soon. What Can I Do to Improve My Smile?

Your formal is coming up, and you are embarrassed by your smile. What do you do? Call the dentist!

Whether you are getting ready for the homecoming dance, prom, or any formal event, you want to be confident enough to show off your smile. A formal is something that only happens in high school and something to look forward to. The pictures you take will last a lifetime, but making sure you love them takes work and planning. At Gables Exceptional Dentistry, we can help you love your smile, even if your formal is only a week or two away. Here are a few of the steps we recommend.

Have Your Teeth Cleaned

Call (305) 614-2438 and schedule a teeth cleaning with our dental office. We can get you scheduled right away, and you will be amazed by how much better your teeth look when they are clean and the plaque and tartar have been removed. Plaque can make your teeth appear yellow and stained, even when they are not dirty. The good news is that a teeth cleaning can usually be completed in under an hour. After all, a cleaning is even more important for your health than it is for your appearance.

Teeth Whitening Options

If your teeth are stained, it may not be your fault. Even taking antibiotics regularly can make your white teeth look yellow. Soda, pasta with red sauce, or soy sauce on sushi can stain your teeth. Stained teeth can make you look older and unhealthy. That is not how you want to remember looking during your high school years. You should be fresh-faced with bright white teeth. We can give you a beautiful smile in one appointment.

When you visit our dental office for teeth whitening, you will be using a professional-grade whitening solution that works far better than anything you can buy in the store. The kits sold in the store are typically designed to remove the surface stains on your teeth. They will work well to remove the stains from a recent soda, but they may do nothing for the discoloration caused by taking antibiotics.

Our solution will eliminate even deep stains because it penetrates tooth enamel to target the molecules inside your teeth, causing them to reflect less light and appear colorless. Our teeth whitening solution can whiten your teeth by eight shades or more. This can dramatically change the appearance of your smile in time for homecoming or prom. Even with less than a week until your event, you can visit our office and see improvements to your smile.

Facial Exercises

At Gables Exceptional Dentistry, we mainly focus on the health and appearance of your teeth and gums. However, there are other things you can do to improve your smile, including facial exercises.

  1. Look in the mirror and flash and smile as big as you can. Hold it for 10 to 30 seconds and repeat throughout the day.
  2. Sing loudly and passionately. Pull out your smartphone, download a karaoke app, and get carried away. This is a fun way to work your muscles, and your friends can join in.
  3. Tighten the skin on your chin by pointing your chin toward the ceiling and kissing the air 20 times. Do this two more times.

Just like lifting weights and climbing stairs can tone your arm and leg muscles, facial exercises and tone your facial muscles and improve your smile.
