As odd as it may sound, the simple act of smiling has a host of mental and physical benefits. Even if you’re feeling blue, faking a smile will reduce your stress and trigger actual feelings of happiness. Being confident in your smile is just as important as the act itself and even minor dental imperfections can negatively affect more than just your mouth. Luckily for you, porcelain veneers and other cosmetic procedures offer a natural-looking way to polish your smile and brighten your day.
