From hair and skin to clothes and shoes, one’s appearance is a way to make an impression. Whether interviewing for a job or passing by someone on the street, a recent perception study found that there are negative judgements made about people with significantly flawed smiles. More than one half of the participants believed someone with a flawed smile would be less likely to land a job when competing with someone who has a similar skill set and experience. The statistics are a little harsh, but stand true to society’s beauty standards. Our office, Paraiso Family Dental and Orthodontics, has the best dentist in Newbury Park ready to assist you, Dr. Gary Chaffee. Our cosmetic dentist can change your life for the better, making your initial impression a positive one on those around you.
