Cosmetic Dentistry Can Improve Your Career Success

Whether you are a CEO or entry-level employee, a white collar or blue collar worker, your job defines who you are. And so does your smile. Whether you like it or not, your appearance impacts how clients, customers, and colleagues respond to you. While it would be nice to think that experience and expertise alone are what gets you ahead in your chosen career, the fact is that looks matter, especially your teeth. Cosmetic dentistry can help you reach your career goals.

Immobilized by a Broken-Down Smile

If you have less than perfect teeth, you know it. But every person with oral health complaints feels differently about the condition of their smile. A few crooked teeth could be repaired with orthodontics like Invisalign, but will that make or break your job success? Maybe. It depends on the line of work you’re in – an actor could benefit from flawless teeth; a sales person could seem more relatable with a few crooked teeth.

However, if you are sporting an unhealthy-looking and unsightly smile that is stained, broken, and worse, you can almost guarantee that the people you interact with from day to day are turned off. And it doesn’t matter what line of work you’re in – a bad smile can turn every day into a long day on the job.

An unhealthy smile implies that you haven’t taken the time or made the effort to care for your appearance. If that’s the case, then how can you do your job effectively, whether that is to defend a case, teach a child, sell a home, heal an injury, style a head of hair, give a tour, welcome guests, or otherwise?

How Much Cosmetic Dentistry Do You Need?

The good news is that the term “smile makeover” has a broad and flexible definition. You may want to eliminate the surface stains on your enamel – a professional teeth whitening treatment can get the job done. If those stains prove to be within your teeth and will not respond to whitening, porcelain veneers will create a natural-looking, white, celeb-worthy smile.

In fact, porcelain veneers are one of the most popular smile makeover options for job-seekers, promotion hunters, or people who simply want to have greater success at their current job. Veneers typically take two visits to your Johns Creek cosmetic dentist, but the time put in is worth it. Porcelain veneers are a versatile smile makeover solution that can repair multiple aesthetic issues at one time, from stains to chips to gaps to misalignment. Hesitant about veneers? You can opt for the less-invasive but equally transformative and permanent Lumineers.

Improve Your Professional Resume with Cosmetic Dentistry

Professional setbacks are brutal – missing out on the job you coveted, being overlooked for a promotion, tanking on that major deal. However, what can be even more demoralizing is feeling like you’ve failed daily on the job: A client glancing uneasily at your teeth; a customer who chose to seek out another professional to help them after seeing your smile; your boss avoiding eye contact or infrequently engaging you in conversation.

Now, think about how your working hours would be different if your teeth were white, flawless, and healthy. You could confidently look and act like the professional that you are without any level of self-consciousness invading the information or services you deliver. After all, 74 percent of Americans believe that an unattractive smile can negatively impact career success (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry). A smile that makes you look happier, healthier, smarter, and more authoritative will give you the strength to behave as such and embody those elements.
