The Impact of Aesthetic Dental Treatments – 4 Ways Cosmetic Care Changes Lives

If you’re not happy with your smile, cosmetic dentistry from Sarko Dental Associates may be right for you. Dr. Thomas Sarko and Dr. Thomas Piccolo both specialize in aesthetic dentistry and can help you get the smile you deserve.

From whitening stained teeth to repairing chips, correcting crooked teeth, and more, there are lots of ways to improve your smile and enhance your appearance. And if you do choose to get cosmetic dentistry, it can change your life in lots of different ways. Here’s a look at just a few of them!

1. Boosted Confidence & Self-Esteem

This may seem obvious, but it really is true! Lots of people are self-conscious about how their teeth look, which can hold them back from smiling, laughing, speaking, or even eating around other people.  

According to a study commissioned by the American Association of Orthodontists, around one-third of American adults are “unhappy” with their smiles due to issues such as crooked teeth, stains, gaps, chips, and other common cosmetic issues.

However, cosmetic dentists like Dr. Sarko and Dr. Piccolo can enhance dental aesthetics, transform teeth, and improve confidence and self-esteem. In one study of 17 patients who received porcelain veneers, all of them reported “significant” improvements in self-esteem and confidence.

From speaking confidently in front of co-workers to smiling brightly on first dates and laughing along with your friends, the right cosmetic treatments allow you to address the issues that make you feel self-conscious about your smile and let your true self shine through.  

2. A More Youthful Appearance

Along with boosting self-esteem and confidence, smile rejuvenation also makes you look younger. Things like chipped teeth, yellowing, stains, and gaps in your smile can make you look older than you really are. With cosmetic dentistry, you can address each of these issues, restore your natural smile, and eliminate signs of premature aging.  

But that’s not all we offer at Sarko Dental Associates! We also specialize in improving facial aesthetics with Botox. Along with cosmetic dentistry to restore your smile, Botox eliminates fine lines, wrinkles, and other common signs of aging.

Thanks to their training as dentists, both Dr. Sarko and Dr. Piccolo are able to target certain muscles and areas of the face with incredible precision. The result? Smooth, bright, and youthful skin that helps you look and feel your best.

3. Improved Oral Health Outcomes

Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about enhancing your smile and making it look better. If you need a comprehensive smile makeover, cosmetic procedures are often used alongside restorative dentistry to both restore your smile and keep your teeth healthy:

• Veneers can help strengthen weak enamel and protect your smile

• Invisalign corrects crooked teeth, improving your bite and preventing premature tooth wear & tear

• Porcelain crowns cover up and protect damaged teeth and restore your smile, too

• Dental implants restore missing teeth and replace them with natural, durable crowns

• An even, straight smile is easier to keep clean compared to crooked teeth that may have uneven gaps and tight spaces

Whether your mouth is healthy and you’d like to enhance your smile or you’re facing serious oral health challenges and may need a comprehensive smile makeover, the team at Sarko Dental Associates can help.

4. Better Oral Hygiene & Lifestyle Choices

Patients who spend the time, money, and effort to improve their smile aesthetics with cosmetic dentistry are often more motivated to keep their new smiles healthy and to make better lifestyle choices to protect their investment, such as:

• Quitting smoking or tobacco use to keep their smiles bright

• Eating a healthier diet and reducing sugar intake

• Avoiding coffee, tea, and other staining beverages

• Following their dentist's oral care recommendations more closely

• Maintaining a better oral hygiene routine to keep their teeth in great shape

• Seeing their dentist every six months for checkups and teeth cleanings
