Straight teeth play a more vital role in your life than you may realize. Planning for an upcoming job interview or special occasion? When it comes to important events in life, we always want to look our best. Studies have shown that teeth are one of the first things people notice when it comes to meeting another person for the first time. Is your smile beautiful or does it lack brilliance and health? At Mountain Aire Dentistry, we strive to provide the healthiest smiles to our patients so they can maintain amazing oral health and succeed in all that they do when they leave our office. There have been many studies when it comes to a person’s smile. Straighter and whiter smiles can greatly enhance the confidence of a person and help them be more successful. If your smile is lacking a little bit of luster, what can you do? We have many services such as teeth whitening, Invisalign and more to improve your smile and your confidence. Come see the smile we can customize for you today!

First Impressions Are Key

What do you first notice about a person? The eyes? The hair? The way a person dresses? Studies show that about ⅓ of people notice a person’s teeth first when it comes to first impressions. They’re also one of the most memorable facial features people remember. In fact, studies have shown that people with straight teeth are considered to be smarter, happier, healthier and even more trustworthy than those who have crooked teeth. When it comes to this trustworthiness, nearly 3/4ths of Americans (73% to be exact) are more likely to trust someone with a great smile than someone without one. Whether we like it or not, it’s amazing what appearance can do for a person, right?

Speaking of appearances, in studies regarding a person’s smile, straighter and whiter teeth actually upped a person’s chances when it came to landing a professional position over the competition. With an equal skill set, someone with a better smile is around 45% more likely to land the job than their competitor if that competitor has a smile that is lacking. Obviously, your smile is important when it comes not only to health, but also making that first impression one that’s impactful. Those who have confident, beautiful smiles also tend to smile more, which exudes success and confidence. What makes a smile confident? Usually dental and orthodontic work, which leads to brighter, straighter and whiter smiles.

We Specialize in Beautiful Straight Teeth

We specialize in keeping the teeth healthy, bright and white as well as keeping them straight. But…isn’t Mountain Aire Dentistry a dental office and not an orthodontic office you ask? Yes, however, Dr. Bockrath completed extra years of schooling so that he could specialize in more advanced dental care, which includes cosmetic dentistry and teeth straightening through Invisalign. We have many treatments that can help give you a leg up in your professional and social life:

• Teeth Whitening – With all our talk about whiter teeth, we have to provide this service, correct? The answer is yes! Teeth whitening is one of the most affordable ways to transform your smile from lackluster to brilliant. Teeth darken over time, especially from food and improper oral hygiene. Only professional-grade teeth-whitening systems can give you a whiter smile that lasts. At-home kits, gels and toothpastes generally don’t work as well (or at all) compared to an in-office treatment. We can provide customized treatments for you in just one office visit.
• Invisalign – Technology affords us the ability to provide transparent, removable aligners via Invisalign to help our patients achieve straight teeth discreetly. They are clear and much easier to clean than traditional braces. They can also be removed when needed (such as for sports and cleaning the teeth) and have been proven to be effective when it comes to straightening. If you want a straighter smile today, we can customize you an entire set of Invisalign aligners.
• Porcelain Veneers – Porcelain veneers consist of a thin layer of porcelain that is cemented permanently to the surface of the tooth, creating a smooth and pearly-white finish. We take impressions of your teeth that will then go to a special lab, where each individual veneer is made just for you. We take a very thin layer of the tooth surface off, where we replace it with a veneer that is permanent, won’t stain and will be durable for years to come. Veneers can correct problems from discoloration, gaps and cracks, crooked or misshapen teeth, wear and tear and more.
• Cosmetic Bonding – What if you don’t need very much improvement with your teeth? Cosmetic bonding is a perfect choice. If you have a few chips here and there or small spots you want changed, we can apply a mixture of quartz and resin to fill in gaps and give your teeth a white, beautiful finish. Learn how straight teeth can be obtained without braces if you are a candidate for cosmetic bonding.  
• Dental Implants – This is a tooth restoration for people who are missing one or more teeth from injury, periodontal disease or tooth decay. We can implant a metal post in the space of your missing tooth and design a custom-made crown to match the rest of your teeth. Live life with a full set of teeth today!
