Improve Your Smile, Confidence, and Life
Your smile is the first thing most people notice about you. It’s your calling card on introductions, job interviews, first dates, when giving speeches, etc. Smiling makes you look younger and makes people around you feel better. An impressive smile can see you through awkward moments and help you defuse strong emotions.
A great smile is like a unhidden superpower.
But what if you don’t like what you see in the mirror or you’re smiling less because you don’t want people to see your teeth? Or if you don’t want them to see your missing teeth? In that case, it’s time to make a change. Here are eight ways Alex Bratic Dental Care can help to improve your smile.
Improve Your Life With A Smile Makeover
Smiling with confidence can make you feel awesome. A beautiful smile is also a social and professional asset.
Sadly, there are those who hide their teeth because their teeth are unattractive, missing, stained, or crooked.
Unfortunately, studies show that when you don’t smile, or if you hide your smile, you are likely to feel less confident and your ability to succeed decreases.
If that describes you, then why not begin the process of getting the smile you’ve always wanted? At Alex Bratic Dental we can help you get the smile you want with a smile makeover!
Tooth Bonding For A Long-Lasting, Beautiful Smile
Did you know that you are better looking when you smile? In fact, you’re seen as more attractive, reliable, relaxed, and sincere.
A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia reported that seeing an attractive smiling face activates people’s orbitofrontal cortex, the region in their brain that process sensory rewards. In other words, your smile rewards them!
But what if you don’t like to smile? What if your teeth are stained, chipped, gapped, or otherwise unattractive? What should you do if you feel like you have to hide your smile?
How Long Do Dental Crowns Last?
You paid for your crown – so the crown should last and last, right? In fact, this is the number one question that patients and perspective patients ask us about crowns, “How long will they last?”
The good news is that crowns are a long-term dental treatment, and while they may not last forever, there are things a patient (and dentist) can do to help keep them a very long time.
At Alex Bratic Dental Care we are dedicated to helping you get the crown that is just right for you and also help you keep it for a very long time. Properly looked after, crowns have been known to last for decades.
Invisalign, The Invisible Secret for Straight Teeth!
The quickest route to a beautiful, aligned smile is through heredity -beautiful teeth often run in families. But for those who weren’t naturally blessed with aligned teeth, orthodontic correction provides well-aligned, healthy teeth to millions of people of all ages.
In the past, the normal treatment for orthodontic correction was braces, but today Alex Bratic Dental Care in Beenleigh often recommends Invisalign clear aligners for teens and adults who want the benefits of braces without the “metal mouth” look, complicated hygiene, and dietary restrictions that come with traditional orthodontics (braces).
The Best Valentine’s Day Present—A Healthy Mouth
Valentine’s Day is that special day on which we all express our feelings for our loved ones. But bad oral health can have a negative affect on such expressions. It doesn’t matter if you are kissing your 5-year old, your spouse, or someone else you care deeply about. On Valentine’s Day (and any other day!), no one wants to kiss or be kissed by anyone with bad oral hygiene or teeth.
Valentine’s Day should also be a day of wide smiles. But if you have dingy or stained teeth, it might be harder to smile. Which is why at Alex Bratic Dental Care we want to work with you to make your smile brilliant, and your breath good, on Valentine’s Day and beyond!
Better Kisses for All!
Let’s face it; if your dental health is more ordinary than optimal, it decreases the chance that someone will want to kiss you.

- Restore a fractured tooth to usefulness
- Attach a bridge

- Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
