As the number and diversity of treatments available under the cosmetic banner expands and grows, we are seeing this corner of dentistry become increasingly popular – crucially with clients across all age groups.
From whitening treatment that’s favoured by users of all ages, to the use of veneers and bridges for those missing teeth or suffering from extreme dental damage, the diverse selection of cosmetic dentistry treatments means that there’s something to suit all needs.
The aesthetic benefits of cosmetic dentistry in Essex are somewhat obvious. But what is even more important in the eyes of most dentists, is the confidence-boosting traits. And it’s these traits and benefits that we’re looking at in this blog.
Exploring the Confidence Cycle
The confidence cycle is something that underpins more industries than you might realise.
It considers the popularity of treatments that don’t just boost the reflection in the mirror but transform the attitude of the client. Cosmetic dentistry covers a range of areas of dentistry that can – and often do – have a detrimental effect on the confidence of the individual, whether it be the colour of their teeth, how teeth are positioned and aligned, or small imperfections that need addressing.
But the cycle doesn’t end when they look in the mirror. Clients who invest in treatments that boost their confidence will often go on to report success in both professional and personal areas of their life. Whether it’s a promotion or a new attitude to dating, it’s amazing how powerful cosmetic dentistry can be in empowering individuals to lead their lives with more confidence.
With that said, what are the treatments dentists can offer that help to boost confidence?
Our Pick of the Most Popular Cosmetic Treatments
Cosmetic dentistry deals with the way the teeth look, covering colour as well as alignment, cracks and gaps, and even missing teeth.
With the aim of cosmetic dentistry being to help clients achieve their dream smile, treatments are designed to offer lasting results and can be combined into packages – for example, aligning the teeth and then treating discolouration, or combining composite bonding with whitening to smooth out the texture and colour of the teeth.
These packages are available by getting in touch with your local Essex dentist, who will be able to build a package and discuss both the pricing and the timeline from initial consultation through to your results.
What if I am a Nervous Patient?
This is a question we get asked a lot, both with regard to structural and aesthetic treatments.
A high percentage of dental patients and clients consider themselves to be nervous, with most attributing this to a fear of potential pain or sensitivity. In most cases, this can be alleviated or at least minimised by a simple understanding of what is happening.
We tend to find that, by spending some extra time talking through the treatments before each session, professional dentists help to make a brighter, more confident smile accessible to even the most nervous of patients.
