This Season, Say “Cheese” with Confidence!

The holiday season is fast approaching, and that means office parties, family reunions, and gift exchanges. If you’re worried about how you’ll look in those holiday photos, don’t fret! We’re here to help you get ready for the camera.

Do you smile big in your selfies and photos? Or do you hide your smile when the camera comes out? A healthy smile portrays confidence, but when normal dental wear-and-tear affects appearance, your self-assurance can take a hit too.

San Mateo Center for Cosmetic Dentistry wants to give you the confidence to smile big! Here are a few steps you can take.

1. Whiten your teeth and get rid of unwanted stains.
   Discolored and stained teeth are something we all may experience. The beverages we consume, like coffee and tea, can cause teeth to appear yellow, as can smoking and the natural effects of aging. Fight back with teeth whitening, a simple in-office procedure that produces long-lasting results. The advanced technology of Zoom, a clinically proven technique for teeth whitening with a blue light and gel, delivers up to 14 shades lighter in just one hour.
2. Fix chips and cracks.
   Strengthen chipped or cracked teeth and give them an even, smooth appearance with porcelain veneers. Durable shells of dental ceramic are bonded to the front of each tooth, covering any damage, wear, or discoloration. Veneers are natural-looking and very durable, an excellent option for repairing a smile.
3. Get rid of gaps.
   Do you have prominent gaps that you’d like to cover? Porcelain veneers are also a great solution to fill in gaps or reshape uneven or misaligned teeth.

Of course, it goes without saying that daily brushing and flossing ensures that cavity-causing bacteria are removed for healthier teeth and gums and fresher breath. Be sure to keep up with your oral hygiene routine leading up to the holidays too.
