Cosmetic Dentistry Do your teeth make you look older than you are? Is the appearance of your teeth affecting your career, social life, or self esteem? The options for restoring your smile are endless and since your smile is one of the greatest assets you have, why not make it the best it can be? An improved smile can boost self image and improve personal confidence. In fact, a recent survey revealed that 74% of adults who responded believe an unattractive smile can hurt a person's chances for career success, while 92% say an attractive smile is an important social asset.

There are many things that can be done today to improve your smile. Some changes can be done very quickly and simply in one appointment and others may take two or more visits.

At the Dental Office of Dr. Stein We take a very comprehensive approach when considering cosmetic changes. First, you must have proper support from your back teeth so that your new front teeth are not damaged or compromised by the lack of bite support or function in your back teeth. Second, your gums must be healthy. We can do some very incredible changes to your smile but your teeth won't last if you have gum disease that is severe or uncontrolled.

Another consideration is whether you clench or grind your teeth. Many people do, and if your existing or new teeth are not "protected" you will break, chip or wear your teeth or dental work prematurely.
