San Diego Cosmetic Dentists Discuss Recent AACD Statistics and How to Look One?s Best During the Holidays

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 29, 2011

The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) reports in a recent survey that 50% of Americans are unhappy with their smile and that 99.7% believe a smile to be an important social asset. While such a high percentage of the population recognizes the social pressure placed on dental aesthetics, Drs. James Salazar and Bradley Ross of Mission Trails Dentistry, a center for cosmetic dentistry in San Diego, say cosmetic awareness also increases during the holiday season as people prepare for social gatherings and holiday festivities. However, Dr. Salazar says there has also been a rise in popularity of smile makeovers in the past month, with more and more patients at his practice undergoing comprehensive procedures to improve their smile and boost self-esteem.

Often combining procedures such as dental implants or porcelain veneers, Dr. Salazar says a smile makeover offers patients the opportunity to customize their treatment to meet each of their individual needs. Through personalized attention and a custom plan for improving one?s dental aesthetics, Dr. Salazar says patients can revitalize their appearance and feel confident going into the holidays and the upcoming new year. Patients can also include several other procedure options during a smile makeover such as gum recontouring or Invisalign?. ?The best results for veneers is with teeth whitening also. A bright white smile enhances the appearance of good health.?

Dr. Ross adds that patients looking to enhance their smile for the holidays can also choose more subtle options for feeling rejuvenated and confident, such as teeth whitening or routine cleanings. Regardless of whether patients are seeking a comprehensive, custom smile design or a single procedure, Dr. Ross says choosing an experienced and qualified dentist is essential for achieving the highest quality results. He adds that through the skilled and dedicated work of a passionate practice, patients can revitalize their mouth and feel healthy and confident in time for the holidays. ?During the holidays, people always feel that they want to look their best around friends and family. A nice smile radiates health and confidence.?
