How Cosmetic Dentistry Can Boost Your Confidence and Self-Esteem
Posted by Dr. Julie Boudreault On 1-10-2024
Your smile should never hold you back from accomplishing your goals or living the life of your dreams. Unfortunately, that’s the reality for many people. A flawed smile can make you self-conscious and erode your self-esteem, making it hard to smile openly or speak confidently.
That’s where cosmetic dentistry comes in. This field of dentistry is transformative for many of our patients, since it allows them to finally achieve a beautiful, show-stopping smile. With Milltown Dental’s cosmetic dental services, you can boost your confidence instantly.
A Smile You Love to Show Off
If you’re self-conscious about your smile, then you already know how it affects your daily life. Whether your teeth are crooked, discoloured, chipped, cracked, or missing altogether, it can take a serious toll on your confidence. You may find yourself reluctant to laugh, smile, or even talk.
Instead of living your life in the present moment, you’re constantly distracted by thoughts about your smile. This is a disservice to yourself, as well as everyone around you. After all, don’t you want to be fully present for the people you love? Your self-consciousness also takes you out of experiences, since part of your mind is always worrying about your teeth instead of focusing on the world around you.
You may even take steps to hide your smile while out in public; for instance, holding your hand over your mouth when you smile or laugh. Maybe you even try to avoid smiling altogether. Life is too short for hiding. You should be able to smile and laugh without any self-conscious worry.
Cosmetic dentistry helps you achieve the smile of your dreams—a smile that you truly love to show off. With the help of a professional cosmetic dentist, all of your smile’s flaws can be eradicated. Discolouration? No problem. Crooked teeth? We can fix that. Missing a tooth altogether? Not for long!
After your cosmetic dentistry appointments at Milltown Dental, you won’t be able to stop smiling. Moreover, you can finally stop fretting about the look of your teeth. It will instantly boost your confidence and self-esteem, leaving you free to live the life of your dreams.
Social and Career Benefits
There are many social and career benefits that accompany having a more attractive smile.
A flawed smile should not stand in the way of your social life or career aspirations. However, a winning smile can help open doors for you. For better or worse, our society is highly conscious of appearances. Although we have all been taught not to judge a book by its cover, we still notice the cover.
Big, beautiful, bright smiles are often perceived as genuine, trustworthy, and loyal—all great qualities! Flashing a genuine smile is a great way to win over new friends and make a great first impression.
Conversely, holding back a smile or only revealing a tight grin can have the opposite effect. This is something to be mindful of if you’ve grown accustomed to hiding your smile.
Furthermore, correcting your smile with cosmetic dental procedures boosts your confidence. Confident, outgoing people have an easier time making friends, finding romantic partners, and getting promotions. Confidence is just as infectious as a beautiful smile.
If you find that your lack of confidence is getting in your way, consider upgrading your smile with cosmetic dental services from Milltown Dental.
Leaving the Past Behind
Some people are born with a less aesthetic smile. For others, their smile gets damaged later on. Birth defects, poor genetics, traumatic accidents, and a lack of proper oral hygiene can all lead to a smile that is less than perfect.
Fortunately, the smile you were born with does not have to be the one you live the rest of your life with. Similarly, you can fix old dental injuries and restore your smile with cosmetic dentistry. You can leave the past behind and move forward with a beautiful smile that is Hollywood-esque.
If you experienced a traumatic event that damaged your smile, looking in the mirror may serve as an unwanted reminder of that day. Cosmetic dentistry can help you move past your trauma and embrace the future. Milltown Dental is here to help you on your journey.

Milltown Dental offers a comprehensive list of cosmetic dental services to restore your smile. We have the requisite expertise to transform your smile so you can smile, laugh, and talk with more confidence than ever before.
Plus, our services are affordably priced, so your dental goals can become a reality. Here’s a quick overview of our most popular cosmetic dental services.
Professional Teeth Whitening
For many patients, discolouration is normal and natural. Teeth can fade or yellow because of age, genetics, coffee consumption, or poor oral hygiene. Consequently, professional teeth whitening is a common procedure at Milltown Dental.
Unlike over-the-counter products, our professional whitening services are highly effective. Also, they won’t damage your enamel or cause any tooth sensitivity.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign aligners are a highly effective, discreet, and easy-to-use method for straightening misaligned teeth. The aligners are custom-fitted for your teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit that gently guides teeth into the desired positions. If you’re looking to straighten your smile, but dislike the idea of clunky metal braces, then Invisalign is the perfect solution.
Porcelain Crowns and Bridges
Crowns are placed over teeth that have sustained severe damage, such as from a root canal or filling. They are both a restorative and a cosmetic solution to tooth damage. The crown protects the tooth while restoring your beautiful smile.Dental bridges, on the other hand, are a permanent option for replacing missing teeth. They can fill in the gap left behind by the missing tooth so you can eat, smile, and talk normally.
Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are affixed to the front of your teeth, hiding any imperfections and creating a flawless smile. For instance, veneers easily cover discolouration and gaps. At Milltown Dental, we provide natural-looking porcelain veneers that improve the appearance of your teeth.
Dental Bonding
Lastly, cosmetic dental bonding uses tooth-coloured resin to repair damaged teeth. The composite bonding matches your natural tooth colour, so it blends in perfectly. Bonding repairs chips, cracks, discolouration, gaps, and spaces.
