Probably one of the things I enjoy
most about dentistry

00:03.750 --> 00:06.200 align:middle line:90% size:75%
is that we can change, literally, 
the way you look.

00:06.200 --> 00:09.500 align:middle line:90% size:75%
Routinely, I'll have people come in
and they'll have dealt with a smile

00:09.500 --> 00:11.330 align:middle line:90% size:75%
they weren't happy with their whole life.
The cool thing about

00:11.330 --> 00:17.500 align:middle line:90% size:75%
what we get to do is sit, and discuss,
and plan out a new smile.

00:17.500 --> 00:21.330 align:middle line:90% size:75%
Sometimes that's moving teeth around
using traditional braces or Invisalign.

00:21.330 --> 00:23.950 align:middle line:90% size:75%
We're moving teeth to where
that person has always wanted them to be.

00:23.950 --> 00:26.850 align:middle line:90% size:75%
So, yes, they have a better looking smile
and, yes, they're more confident.

00:26.850 --> 00:28.750 align:middle line:90% size:75%
Those teeth also get easier to clean.

00:28.750 --> 00:32.100 align:middle line:90% size:75%
The risk for periodontal disease, the
risk for plaque accumulation

00:32.100 --> 00:34.330 align:middle line:90% size:75%
all that goes away once those teeth
are easier to clean.

00:34.330 --> 00:37.500 align:middle line:90% size:75%
Plus, when they're happy with their
smile people tend to take care of it a little more.

00:37.500 --> 00:40.750 align:middle line:90% size:75%
The other option is we dramatically
change the way the teeth look.

00:40.750 --> 00:43.330 align:middle line:90% size:75%
We do that through cosmetic dentisty. 
It's not for everyone

00:43.330 --> 00:46.500 align:middle line:90% size:75%
but when we have someone who is really
interested, it's the best.

00:46.500 --> 00:50.000 align:middle line:90% size:75%
It literally in a couple hours changes the
way people look, feel

00:50.000 --> 00:54.660 align:middle line:90% size:75%
and, usually, act. It's not uncommon
for me to see someone at their next appointment

00:54.660 --> 00:58.100 align:middle line:90% size:75%
and they've changed their hair too. Or, 
they've bought new clothes

00:58.100 --> 01:01.000 align:middle line:90% size:75%
because they feel differently about
themselves, and really who they are

01:01.000 --> 01:03.000 align:middle line:90% size:75%
It's a lot of fun.
