As a teenager, his own smile was enhanced through orthodontic treatment. Considering the career path he chose for himself \u2014 performing for multitudes both live and on TV \u2014 he calls wearing an orthodontic device (braces) to align his crooked teeth \u201clife-changing.\u201d He relies on his welcoming, slightly mischievous smile to welcome audiences and make the initial human connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/woowangdental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-28-at-1.16.51-PM.png\" alt=\"Michel Grandinetti holding a toothbrush\" class=\"wp-image-410\" width=\"388\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/woowangdental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-28-at-1.16.51-PM.png 329w, https:\/\/woowangdental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-28-at-1.16.51-PM-300x292.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 388px) 100vw, 388px\" \/><figcaption><br><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A beautiful smile is definitely an asset regardless of whether you\u2019re performing for thousands, passing another individual on a sidewalk or even, research suggests, interviewing for a job. Like Michael, however, some of us need a little help creating ours. If something about your teeth or gums is making you self-conscious and preventing you from smiling as broadly as you could be, we have plenty of solutions up our sleeve. Some of the most popular include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Tooth Whitening.<\/strong> Professional whitening in the dental office achieves faster results than doing it yourself at home, but either approach can noticeably brighten your smile.<\/li><li><strong>Bonding. <\/strong>A tooth-colored composite resin can be bonded to a tooth to replace missing tooth structure, such a chip.<\/li><li><strong>Veneers<\/strong>. This is a hard, thin shell of tooth-colored material bonded to the front surface of a tooth to change its color, shape, size and\/or length; mask dental imperfections like stains, cracks, or chips, and compensating for excessive gum tissue.<\/li><li><strong>Crowns.<\/strong> Sometimes too much of a tooth is lost due to decay or trauma to support a veneer. Instead, capping it with a natural-looking porcelain crown can achieve the same types of improvements. A crown covers the entire tooth replacing more of its natural structure than a veneer does.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like more information about ways in which you can transform your smile, please <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mybestdentalcare.com\/contact.html\">contact us<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mybestdentalcare.com\/appointment.html\">schedule an appointment<\/a> for a consultation.
