Did you know that one of the first things people notice about you is your smile? Don’t believe it? It’s true! Recently, Colgate created a series of ads featuring snapshot style photos of couples posing. In each one, the man has food stuck in his teeth. Only when you read the tiny print on the Colgate floss in the corner do you realize that in one, the woman has too many fingers. Or in another, that there is a floating arm around the man’s shoulder. The third? The man is completely missing an ear! The point? As the tiny print reads: “Not even that missing ear gets more attention than a mouth without care.”

With your smile being the first thing people notice, is it any wonder that cosmetic dentistry is so popular? After all, everyone wants to make a good first impression. But Cosmetic Dentistry doesn’t have to be painful or expensive. Teeth whitening, tooth colored fillings and even veneers are more affordable than ever, allowing many people to get the smile they’ve always wanted. Never had any of these procedures done? Don’t worry – chances are your dentist already offers these services, and can answer any questions you may have.

If your current dentist doesn’t offer cosmetic procedures though, don’t worry! It’s easy to find a Cosmetic Dentist in Dubuque. A quick Google search (or a peak in the phone book if you’re old school) can give you a list of cosmetic dentists to get you started. Look for ones who offer a wide range of procedures, so that if you need more than one procedure done, you don’t have to go to two different offices. No sense getting your fillings done in one place, and your whitening done in another! You’ll also want to make sure the office you choose takes your dental insurance (if you have it). You never know, your insurance may just pay for part of the procedure you want to have done.

And if you’re interested, go online and find those Colgate ads. They are clever, and make a good point about oral care.
