Cosmetic Dental Makeover Self-test

Ask yourself the following questions. If you answer YES to three or more, a cosmetic dental makeover may help you improve your self-esteem:

Are you self-conscious about your smile?

Do you avoid smiling when your picture is taken?

Do you tend to cover your mouth when you speak?

Do you find yourself trying to keep from smiling too much?

Are you conscious about spaces and gaps in your teeth?

Do you feel that your teeth make you look older?

Do you feel that your teeth are stained or too yellow?

Do you notice areas of excessive tooth wear that make your smile appear older?

Do you notice any dark fillings that are apparent when you smile?

Are your teeth crooked, chipped or crowded?
