Unfortunately, not everyone is born with flawless white teeth. In fact, it’s estimated that 75% of Americans need orthodontics and other cosmetic dental procedures to achieve the “perfect” smile that many people dream of.
George Tisdelle, D.D., of Comprehensive Dental, often recommends veneers in his Charlottesville, Virginia, clinic for patients who lack confidence in their smile. Psychologists and experts have found that a person’s confidence level is often linked to the appearance of their teeth. This is because the appearance of teeth can affect a person’s willingness to smile and speak freely in social situations.
A study conducted by market research firm Kelton gathered evidence that people with great teeth are happier, healthier, and even smarter than those with cosmetic issues. Nearly a third of respondents said the first thing they look at a person’s face is their teeth. Many people experience this when talking to someone in a social setting—the eye is often drawn to the mouth because words come out of it.
