Colorado Springs, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/03/2015 -- According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 60 percent of patients seeking cosmetic dental services are females and 56 percent of patients fall between the ages of 31 and 60. Of these patients, 89 percent state they do so to increase their physical appearance and attractiveness along with their self esteem. In addition, 54 percent state they undergo cosmetic dental procedures for restorative work or health reasons. Regardless of why one chooses to undertake Cosmetic Dentistry procedures, Dr. Schope of Schope Dental is happy to help.

"A smile transcends every race, nationality and language, thus every person wants to ensure their smile is attractive. Cosmetic dentistry has come a long way over the years and patients now have more options. If you aren't completely satisfied with your smile, contact our office today to see what solutions we have for you," Betty Jo Schope, DDS, declares.

Crowns and bridge work remain the most commonly selected procedures, as reported by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, followed by whitening or bleaching. Other procedures many patients select include dental implants, veneers and inlays and onlays. The cosmetic dentist sits down with the patient to determine what they would like to change about their smile and creates a patient treatment plan based on these objectives. For this reason, no two treatment plans are alike.

"Adults may find they wish to have their teeth straightened. In certain situations, veneers are enough to alter the shape of the selected teeth, allowing the individual to avoid orthodontic treatment. This is an option to be considered, as veneers correct the problem in very little time. Orthodontic work often requires months or years of treatment before the teeth are fixed," Dr. Scope continues.

The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry conducted a survey which found that individuals who opt for cosmetic dentistry work appear more attractive and intelligent. Furthermore, others state these individuals are happier and friendlier. What's surprising is that, when asked about before and after pictures of individuals who had cosmetic dental work done, people reported the individuals having the work done were wealthier when they looked at the after pictures.

"A person's smile suggests a great deal about them, in terms of how others perceive them. When given before and after pictures of people who had cosmetic work done, the study participants believed the people in the after pictures to be more attractive, more intelligent, more successful in their career and with members of the opposite sex, happier, wealthier, kinder, friendlier, more interesting and more sensitive to other people. If your smile is not projecting the right image, call us today. We can help you get the smile you deserve," Dr. Schope promises.
