Do you LOVE your smile? If you do then maybe this blog is not for you. If you are someone that has aspects of your smile that you are not so crazy about like the shape, space or color of your teeth then this blog is just for you! Veneers are a cosmetic solution to different issues and can be one of the most visually transformative oral solutions. At times, veneers are paired with orthodontic solutions that help straighten the smile, but veneers can be used independently. What we see in patients is not only a change in the visual aspect of their smile but also in personality traits. We are going to take a deeper look at all of the transformation we see in patients that get veneers and how it affects them on a more personal level.
Functional
From a functional standpoint, veneers can improve your bite, tooth sensitivity and even how often you get food stuck in your teeth. When considering these changes, what veneers really transform is your ability to enjoy the food you eat. In addition how you chew your food is connected to your digestion and when your food is thoroughly chewed it can be more easily and properly digested allowing for more nutrients to be absorbed by the body. When we are able to absorb more nutrients we have more physical energy, and mental clarity and feel more overall wellness.
Mental
You naturally smile more when you love your smile. There is so much more to this than what the outside world sees. When we smile there is an inner effect that is helping us to manage and fight stress. Stress is inevitable and it is our responsibility to find ways to help manage stress. Smiling is a simple and fun stress management tool you can use at any time. It activates tiny molecules called neuropeptides, which allow for easier connections between the neurons in your brain. These connections are responsible for the neurotransmitters that lead to more positive emotions which is what we will get to next.
From a different standpoint, your smile, especially the color of your smile can remove years from your appearance. Changing your teeth can be the first thing that people notice and that can leave a lasting impression. When you look younger, you feel younger, when you feel younger you act younger and when you act younger you are younger. It’s the old saying you are only as old as you feel.
Emotional
From an emotional standpoint, more smiling means more happiness and this is backed by science. When you smile, your brain releases dopamine, endorphins and serotonin. These neurotransmitters lower your stress and anxiety and increase feelings of happiness, relaxation and even physically reduce your blood pressure and heart rate. Feeling happy is important, but that is not the only emotional benefit of using veneers to transform your smile, veneers also increase confidence. When you have a smile that you love you are more likely to share it and a great smile radiates confidence. Others respond differently to you because you feel different about yourself. You become a bolder, brighter more vibrant version of yourself. You are quicker to laugh, smile at a stranger and be seen in a business meeting.
