subject: What Your Teeth Tells About You [print this page] People know that the eyes are mirrors of the soul but teeth according to a San Francisco cosmetic dentist can say a lot of things about a person including age and gender and even characteristics that include aggressiveness, intelligence, and sexiness as well. According to him, the mouth and teeth specifically the six upper front teeth come in second to the body in terms of showing personality traits and emotional messages. In terms of his work, he is one of the American dentists limited to cosmetic work.
Located on fashionable Union Street is the clinic of this dentist and since he turned his back on the conventional drill and fill business many years ago he interprets the images of his patients by using their dentition and then recasts them in porcelain or plastic. People with buck teeth are presumed to be dumb People with strong chins are seen as macho while those with weak chins are considered passive.
Sexy in women is a gap between two front teeth but men will look like hicks with this. When it comes to age, the two upper front teeth give it away. Youth like that of an 8 year old can be seen through long central incisors with irregular edges. Someone who has been biting for 60 years will already have flat, short teeth.
When it come to the teeth on either side these are the lateral incisors and they signify gender and in this case the straight edges appear more masculine while rounded ones look more feminine. It is possible to reshape the teeth with a rotary diamond stone in one sitting without any anesthesia if the patient is a size 8 with the teeth of a heavyweight boxer. Taking care of a problem with overlapping front teeth is a matter of having a slight reshaping.
If you want to take years off your appearance you need to add a tiny fraction of an inch to the small central incisors as he who is an art history major in college who painted and sculpted said. What art is for this dentist today is capping, bleaching, bonding, veneering, reshaping a tooth which costs about $40 and rebuilding a face from the nose down for $15,000.
Every month he has about 100 patients ranging from appearance conscious celebrities and international diplomats to victims of birth defects, accidents, and cosmetically botched up previous dental work and he mentions how his business is flourishing. Various meanings can be associated with each smile and this is according to a number of psychological tests on the subject. Before 8,000 students came up with similar impressions they were shown a single face with a variety of teeth superimposed on it.
Taking the dentally defective into consideration, from an executive with the front teeth of a 12 year old to a model with the canines of a construction worker, there is a high cure rate. After her teeth were beautified by him, a victim of insipid incisors lost 50 pounds and after a visit to the cosmetic dentist a businessman whose canines were too low on the passive aggressive scale got a new job. What is important here is not if you change a life but knowing that you made someone more confident.
To thank for cosmetic dentistry was the new high technology developments in dental plastics. You can say that bonding which is an increasingly popular dental procedure that adds a plastic substance to teeth is the best thing to happen in dentistry. In the mid 1970s bonding was restricted to repairing chipped teeth, but the development of a space age dental plastic that is harder, color stable and polishes like enamel has opened up many new applications. What are included here are masking minor crowding, whitening teeth, changing or matching tooth color, and closing spaces.
