In a society where appearance is highly valued, many people are ashamed to smile. In our daily lives we receive people who tell us how this problem affects their self-esteem and consequently their whole life: they avoid social contact, they make excuses to hide, they never go to parties or eat at restaurants, they never take pictures smiling and avoid public speaking.

Whether this is because they have crooked, yellowed, separated, damaged or ugly teeth, there are several reasons that lead to this feeling. When they finally solve the problem, all our patients say the same: their life has changed, and if they had known how simple and painless it was, they would have solved it much sooner.

An ugly smile can alter body perception, which, in turn, conditions self-esteem and self-image. A beautiful smile is therefore essential for good self-esteem and quality of life.

The good news is that these problems can be overcome with good hygiene habits or through some procedures performed with our partners.

1. Perform a correct oral hygiene

The main oral diseases are caused by poor brushing and lack of flossing, which leads, for example, to the appearance of caries, tartar, and inflamed gums. These diseases in turn cause tooth loss, which reduces the beauty of your smile.

2. Visit your dentist.

Regular visits to the dentist are essential to keep your oral health up to date and your teeth beautiful for life. This is because, during the consultations, the professional will evaluate your oral cavity and, if he identifies a problem, will propose the best treatment option. It also allows maintenance to be carried out to prolong the results of treatments already carried out and to apply preventive measures. On average, it is recommended to visit your dentist every 6 months, however, the spacing may vary according to needs.

3. Put on braces

Orthodontic braces are the most suitable treatment for those who have misaligned teeth. In addition to improving the aesthetics of the smile, it also corrects problems in the bite, making the chewing process more efficient.

4. Use fixed prosthesis or dental implant

If you wear dentures or have missing teeth and this makes you embarrassed to smile, you can resort to using fixed dentures or implants. The procedures are suitable for patients of all ages who are missing one, some or all their teeth.

Both treatments offer very good aesthetic results and improve the patient’s chewing. However, only the dentist can assess which option is most appropriate for each case.

See the testimonies and clinical cases of our patients as well as the advantages and benefits of each of these options: fixed prostheses and implants.

5. Do a teeth whitening

If you’re embarrassed to smile because of the color of your teeth, get your teeth whitened. The technique removes stains and leaves your teeth white.

The procedure is simple, painless and, with proper oral hygiene care and proper nutrition, it can last for many years.

6. Place ceramic veneers

Contact lenses or ceramic veneers are ultra-thin layers that are adhered to the outer surface of the teeth, changing their aesthetics. They are the most aesthetic and conservative solution to correct imperfections in terms of shape, color and dental positioning, such as darkened, separated, fractured, very small or different-sized teeth.

The procedure is painless, and veneers can be applied to a single tooth or to the entire dental arch. Talk to your dentist or stomatologist to see the best solution for your case.
