With health being much easier to achieve than before, people are willing to spend money to fit in. In many cultures, having nice teeth isn’t “normal”.
In today’s world of social media, people’s smiles are much more important to them. Having reasonably straight and white teeth looks really nice. It’s very pleasing, aesthetically speaking.
Lots of companies are advertising teeth whitening and aligners. Think Smile Direct Club.
No we’re not talking about veneers here. Many celebrities and influencers have gone the veneer route because, you know, immediate gratification.
A lot of people don’t know that people that get veneers actually get their teeth shaved down so that the veneers can be put over them.
For some reason, some of these influencers’ veneers look way too big.
Others we must admit just look spectacular.
But influencers are making people think that they should spend thousands of dollars on veneers and shortcut their way to a beautiful smile. The thing they’re not considering is that they’re not paying for it and they’re not patient.
You’re going to have to pay for it and many dentists wouldn’t recommend it.
A much better approach is to get a teeth aligner and then do a teeth whitening. That’s the best you’re gonna look and the healthiest way to go.
Good oral hygiene is what’s going to keep your smile healthy and that will save you a lot of money in the long run.
As a dentist, we’d rather you be healthy and spend less money. It makes our job much more enjoyable. Of course we still love to help people who need help.

Most Popular Dental Services
In the dental industry, there are different types of dental work. Preventative, restorative, cosmetic, and emergency. Preventative work is regular checkups and cleanings.
The deep cleaning you get that removes plaque requires special tools that need to be used and is important for keeping the teeth healthy.
Restorative work is crowns, filling, and dental implants
Cosmetic work is teeth whitening, aligners, and veneers.
Some services can be considered in multiple categories. Wisdom teeth removal is preventative and emergency.
What Might Bring You into the Office
Do you have issues with your teeth that you’ve been neglecting for years, but were afraid to go the dentist? It’s okay. Actually, many people suffer from this because it hurts and/or they don’t have a dentist that they REALLY trust.
What you may not have known, is that you can solve that with IV Sedation. This is like getting anesthesia for surgery. We give you an intravenous dosage that numbs your mouth, and you won’t feel a thing.
What’s scarier, the pain of the procedure, or a real problem that cause tooth loss, permanent damage and even diseases. Oral care isn’t to be taken lightly.
For years, people didn’t go to the dentist unless there was an emergency. Now it’s imperative to be preventative in your approach to your healthcare.
That means regular visit to the dentist twice a year for checkups, tooth brushing at least twice per day (especially first thing when you wake up and before sleep). Dont forget to floss! If you can, floss after every meal.
If it becomes a habit, then it won’t be a big deal eventually.
