The popularity of smile makeover procedures is growing in Arizona. People are taking more notice of how they look, and attaining the perfect smile is becoming increasingly more important.

Social media has made people more aware of the importance of a smile, and more concerned about their appearance. As a result, cosmetic dentistry trends are on the rise.

In Arizona and across the country, social media has had a profound effect on our culture. Whether you're a millennial or Gen X-er (or older), it's likely that you've been impacted by this phenomenon in some way or another: from how we communicate with one another via text messaging or email; to how we consume news stories online instead of reading them in print newspapers or magazines; even down to how we shop for groceries--everything seems to be changing because of social media!

And now there's another aspect of our lives being affected by this seemingly endless stream of information flowing through our devices: the expectation that our smiles need to be flawless.

Technology is Making Cosmetic Dentistry More Attainable

The good news is that dental technology is making cosmetic dentistry more accessible and more convenient for the masses, making it easier than ever to get a smile makeover.

Dr. William Fulcher, Founder of My Dental Dentistry & Implants in Mesa, Arizona explains, "People are seeing themselves in a whole new light with social media! We all want to look our best and a smile is the first thing you notice about someone."

Dental implants are one of the treatment options of choice for people seeking smile makeovers that are affordable and convenient. They're also becoming increasingly popular because they are placed in the bone and attached to the jaw, for a look that more closely resembles natural teeth.

"Implants are becoming more and more the standard of treatment. They are the closest thing that mimics natural teeth. Technology is allowing us to have better access to materials, techniques, and procedures. We can complete procedures quicker and with greater precision. Therefore, implants are more affordable and convenient," says Dr. Fulcher.

Cosmetic Dentistry Will Continue to Soar in Popularity

Appearances are important to how we feel about ourselves and how we show up in the world. The increase in technology and social media is driving even more demand to look our best, and the field of cosmetic dentistry is likely to continue growing throughout 2023 and beyond!
