Boost Your Confidence With Porcelain Veneers ft. Harley Street Smile Clinic*

*This is a collaborative post*

After working in the dental profession for sixteen years, it's safe to say that I feel qualified to talk about this subject. If you're blessed with beautiful gnashers then count yourself lucky, because I've seen first hand how having a less than perfect smile can drastically affect a person's confidence. Those of you that aren't so happy with what Mother Nature dished out, this post is for you!

The first thing about you that a stranger usually notices is your smile. So is it any wonder that as a society we're so self conscious of how our teeth look? Perfection has become the goal, dare I say the norm. We're all after straighter, whiter, more beautiful teeth and why the hek not?

When you look in the mirror, if you're not happy with what you see, it can knock your confidence and lower your self esteem. Discolouration, chipped or crooked teeth can all be reasons why you hide behind your hands when you talk. A gummy or gappy smile could be the reason you never show your teeth on family photos. Perhaps you don't feel the need to hide your smile as such but you're still not happy with it. You long for that perfect celeb smile that you see oh so frequently in magazines and on TV. And guess what? You can have that, if you want it!

Thankfully dentistry has come a long, long way and there are many cosmetic options available out there that won't necessarily break the bank. You'll all have more than likely heard of teeth whitening and braces, but what about veneers?

Porcelain veneers are an ideal alternative if you want a perfect smile in a short period of time, without having to commit to teeth straightening or the maintenance involved with teeth whitening. Veneers achieve an instant result (once glued on) and can dramatically alter a person's appearance.

So what actually is a veneer? Imagine a thin layer of porcelain, - kind of like a much finer false nail - this is then applied to the front surface of your natural tooth, instantly hiding any flaws and imperfections. In the space of a couple of appointments, you could have the dream smile you've always wanted, giving you a much needed confidence boost.

Harley Street Smile Clinic are a well established clinic that have been producing astounding results for years. Take a look at their gallery for yourself, it's pretty impressive.
