Improve Your Career with a Smile Makeover

You are judged professionally on more than just your accomplishments. Your appearance matters, especially when you work in a field that has you in front of people every day, selling or defending or teaching or negotiating or otherwise. A smile makeover can transform you – and your career – in only good ways.

Image Is Everything

You absolutely need to jump through the necessary hoops to get where you want to go in your career. If that means continuing education, special certifications, or even a higher degree, you’re willing to do it to succeed, right? Share some of that determination with your oral health.

Whether you are in an entry-level position or at the top of the ladder, a flawless smile shows that you are aware of how important your image is to your success. White collar or blue collar does not matter – your smile is part of your uniform, whether it be a suit and tie or jeans and a work shirt. People will perceive you as smarter, more capable, more accomplished, and more trustworthy when you have an attractive smile.

Nail the First Impression

If you’re approaching a job interview and trying to determine the best way to make a last impression, good-looking teeth have a major impact. Stained, crooked, yellowed, or missing teeth also make an impression, an undesirable one.

As an interview is reviewing the candidates they’ve interviewed, the last thing you want is to be remembered for your unsightly teeth. It’s not fair for your teeth to impact your worthiness, but it can and does happen. After all, if you can’t take care of your smile, others will think you are incapable of doing the job they need done.

Boost Your Confidence

You know when you have bad teeth. They don’t have to be dramatically unattractive, but if you are self-conscious because your teeth are crooked or gapped or discolored or broken, your confidence will be shaken. And if you want to succeed in your career, believing in yourself is crucial.

Awareness of your bad teeth means you’re less likely to smile, and that habit can have others thinking you’re cold or unfriendly. When you have bad teeth, you will try to hide them, and that straight face or silence will allow people to infer that you’re hiding something much bigger. Really, what you’re hiding is your insecurity.

Find Career Success with a Smile Makeover

Even the smallest smile makeovers can make a huge difference in the appearance of your smile. But, some people need a bigger overhaul of their smile, and that’s do-able too. Here are some of the most common cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry procedures chosen by professionals in the Haymarket area:

• Teeth whitening: Even crooked teeth can look 10 times better when they’re white and healthy-looking, thanks to professional teeth whitening.
• Porcelain veneers: Want to look like a pro? Veneers are a versatile treatment that makes teeth white and straight, lengthens short teeth, and looks natural.
• Invisalign: If you have time and patience, you can straighten your smile using Invisalign braces. The practically invisible aligners let you align your teeth on the down-low.

Improve your career possibilities, your chances of getting hired, your likelihood of getting promoted, your ability to make an excellent first impression. Make an appointment to see your Haymarket dentist or Burke dentist, Dr. Sina Reangber, to discuss your smile makeover.
