Your Smile Analysis Quiz

Take the time to look at yourself in the mirror. Do you have a smile that you are proud of, or do you try to hide your teeth when you smile? Here is a short quiz that can be answered with either yes or no answers.

Are any of your teeth somewhat yellow, dark or stained?
Are there spaces between any of your teeth?
Are your teeth crowded?
Are you missing any of your teeth?
Do you have any old crowns or bridges that have dark edges at the top?
Do you have teeth that are crooked, uneven or out of line?
Do you grind your teeth or are any of the biting edges on your teeth chipped or worn down?
Have your gums receded, or do they appear red or puffy?
Do your teeth (as a group) slant one way or another?
Are the edges of any of your teeth even with the rest of your teeth or are they too long or too short?
Do you have a “gummy” smile – showing too much gum tissue?
Do you have grey, black or silver (mercury) dental fillings in your teeth?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you probably are uncomfortable with your smile. You may turn your face away or hold your hand up when talking to others to hide your smile. You may shy away from showing a full smile in front of other people. When family pictures are taken, you smile with your lips closed. A beautiful, new smile can change the way you feel. Now is the time to discover which cosmetic dental procedures can help you achieve that perfect smile you have always wanted.
