Cosmetic dental treatment ‘changes lives’

Sample News Big

People’s lives can be dramatically changed by transforming their smiles through cosmetic dentistry, it has been claimed.

Oklahoman website newsok.com reports that an individual’s smile is a display of their personality and their self-confidence.

Lee Centracco, an Oklahoma City dentist, explained that following a cosmetic dental procedure, a patient’s life can be transformed.

"It’s like all of a sudden a light bulb comes on and there’s an awakening," he said. "When they start smiling, people view them as a more upbeat personality, a more productive personality, all kinds of things."

Dr Centracco attributed the embarrassment patients feel about their smiles pre-treatment to the media’s obsession with bright, white, straight teeth.

He claimed it has "rubbed over onto the population’s desires" and therefore many people don’t smile because their teeth are not perfect.

This can result in them coming across as angry or moody, he continued, when really they are just unconfident about their smile.

In January, the most popular cosmetic enhancements are Botox and teeth whitening, the Daily Mail reported.ADNFCR-1374-ID-18451997-ADNFCR
