World Smile Day – October 6
World Smile Day is on October 6th this year. Were you aware that this was even a day? We were surprised to learn that is was as well. Apparently an artist named Harvey Ball created the famous smiley face in 1963. He created the signature smiley face for an insurance company who wanted to help boost the company’s morale. From that small start, it became a household symbol of happiness. Mr. Ball created the World Smile Day to combat the commercialization of his smiley creation. His hope was that this day would encourage people to do acts of kindness, or help someone smile. Read more…

When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, the quickest solution to a Hollywood smile is porcelain veneers. Veneers are wafer thin shells of porcelain that are bonded directly to the front surface of your teeth. Since they are solely used for cosmetic benefit, veneers are only placed on the teeth that are visible when you smile. While this innovative procedure can certainly change your life for the better, it is considered an irreversible treatment. Veneers require that a small portion of your tooth enamel be shaved off so that the porcelain shell can strongly adhere. Most patients have no regrets in getting veneers, as they deliver a brilliant and beautiful smile that can be cared for just like natural teeth. 
If you have recently decided to improve your smile appearance and invest in cosmetic dentistry, you can expect great rewards. Enhancing the aesthetics of your smile can boost your self-esteem, support your professional career and even make you look younger.
