Smile Analysis

Your smile affects your self-image, and can greatly influence the quality of your interactions with others.  Many people hold back from laughing or smiling because they are uncomfortable with their smile.  The following questions are designed to honestly appraise your smile.  Go to a mirror, smile as wide as you can, and ask yourself the following questions:

Does the appearance of your smile inhibit you from laughing or smiling?

Are you missing any teeth?

When being photographed, do you smile with your lips closed instead of flashing a full smile?

Are you having difficulty chewing because you are missing teeth?

Are your teeth loose or shifting?

Do you have a loose denture, you have a hard time wearing because it won't stay in place when you eat or talk?

Are you self-conscious about your teeth or smile?

Are your gums red, sore, puffy, bleeding or receded?

Do you have bad breath you just can't get rid of no matter how much you brush?

Do you have a bad taste in your mouth?

Do your teeth seem longer then other peoples?

Do your gums bleed when you brush or floss?

Are your teeth sensitive to hot and cold?

Do you have chronic dry mouth?

Do you have a "gummy" smile (too much of your gums show when smiling)?

Would you like to change anything about the appearance of your teeth or smile?

If you answered YES to ANY of these questions, there are often several alternatives to improve your teeth and smile. To receive a personalized response to your smile analysis, please complete the following form.
