I had a patient that we did full veneers and crowns on their front teeth and in doing so the patient returned and said, you know, they were teeth that were worn down. They needed some improvement greatly and because they were worn down and we did the new restorations back into their normal shape, the patient returned and indicated that my co-workers and my friends, everybody says, I’m smiling more. The thing that people do and it’s easy to see when they come in for a visit and when you’re talking to them, many times they’ll reach up to cover their mouth and you can tell that they’re not pleased with their teeth is the way they present.
And so it is one of the things that people will do after they’ve had their teeth improved is be able to share that smile without feeling the need to cover their mouth and many of them question why they never did it earlier. It is amazing when you take pictures of some of the movie stars and you alter their teeth to where they’re not as straight or as pretty as they are because one of the things we do is a computer cosmetic consultation where you’ll come in, we’ll take your smile and we’ll work with it on the computer screen, give the smile that you’re trying to have and it’s one that you can actually, you know, turn your head back and forth and actually see it on your teeth while looking at the smile. They’ll realize after having it done why they never had it, didn’t do it sooner.
It’s kind of the end result in many cases.
