No doubt, Hollywood has changed the way people look at themselves.
From weight loss obsession to plastic surgery mania, Hollywood has them all.
Everywhere you look, there's a new product or procedure advertised, all intended for a more glamorous look.
Today, there's one makeover celebrities and fans alike are hooked-the smile makeover.
In just a few sessions, you'll instantly get a brighter, more eye-catching smile.
Sadly though, behind every successful makeover is a story of regret and disappointment.
There are always cases of makeovers gone wrong; a face lift overdone, overly huge lips, and veneers looking like a horse teeth.
All these are drastic moves done to instantly change and improve one's appearance.
But if you aren't a celebrity and putting in a lot of money for your smile makeover, surely you wouldn't want something to go wrong.
Nothing can be worse than sitting in that chair expecting to get a new smile after the treatment, but all you were able to utter when you get up was 'this isn't what I wanted'.
So, how do you make sure you get that smile you want when you leave the dentist's chair? Here's what you can do.
Choose the right dentist Don't just settle on a dentist that you think is enough.
Do your homework and look for a dentist that has the right experience and is committed to expanding his education on cosmetic dentistry.
Because technology constantly changes, find a dentist that is always updated with the latest trends.
Communicate well with your dentist Most makeover blunders happen because of miscommunication.
As such, it's important that you talk with your dentist on what you really want done to your teeth.
Make sure your dentist is visualizing the same result as you.
If possible, bring photos with you to ensure that you're on the same page as your dentist.
Ask how the procedure will affect your teeth's functionality For makeovers that will change the way you eat or talk, make sure that the dentist is able to provide you a clear overlook as to the result of the procedure.
Make sure that he is also able to provide treatment apt for your condition.
Don't easily believe what you see on television.
Don't easily discredit advertisements of companies either.
In other words, research.
Make a thorough research of the procedure or dentist you are considering before going ahead with the makeover.
Remember that once you commit to the procedure, there is no turning back.
So, make sure to research well and be a hundred percent sure you need the treatment to guarantee good result.
As a whole, a smile makeover will surely give you a new look and confidence.
But remember that it's not only money that you're putting at stake here; your overall well being as well.
So, make the right choices and you'll be on your way to getting a smile you'll be proud of for a long time.
