The goal of cosmetic dentistry is to give you a complete, beautiful, natural-looking smile, and we take that task very seriously at Grinnell Street Dental.
A large portion of cosmetic dentistry isn’t actually cosmetic, believe it or not. Often, restorative dental procedures are all you need to get a great-looking grin that you are proud to show off. Missing teeth make a smile unattractive, but they also can cause problems with the functionality of your mouth. You may have problems with chewing and speaking, and your remaining teeth may shift to compensate for the missing teeth.

Porcelain Veneers: The Smile Makeover Procedure
Cosmetic dentistry is really amazing. With today’s modern technology, you can get a brand new, beautiful smile without any surgery in just one day. We offer a number of cosmetic dental procedures at Grinnell Street Dental, but there is one procedure that seems to be a great fit for people with all kinds of cosmetic dental needs.
This procedure is porcelain veneers, and it is often referred to as the smile makeover procedure. Porcelain veneers are the most conservative esthetic restorations available in dentistry today. If you have stained or discolored, gapped, unevenly spaced, short or stubby, or crooked teeth, porcelain veneers could give you the smile you have been dreaming of.
You Fell in Love with His Smile, So Let’s Bring it Back
It is a proven fact that women tend to smile more than men. In fact, some studies show that women smile up to 8 times more than men. While that number is more equal for men and women in similar careers, a Business Media Networks study shows that female grins greatly outnumber male smiles on social networking websites.
Why are men so hesitant to flash a big grin? Several factors, such as culture and age, factor in to how often someone smiles, but the difference between men and women is due to a psychological factor. Believe it or not, men don’t tend to notice when they are being observed throughout the day. Women notice all the time. Hard to believe, right?
