Sheila's Smile

Interview with Sheila

Sheila, what prompted you to have this work done?
I had been considering it for some time. I saw some before-and-after photographs of other cases. Upon seeing those I knew instantly that I wanted to have it done.

What did you think about the procedure, and are you pleased with the result?
It went very quickly and smoothly, with very minimal discomfort. I couldn't be happier — I absolutely love it!

Do you think your new smile has benefited you professionally?
Most definitely! When dealing with investments and real estate you have to look mature, and also approachable. If you're wearing braces and look like you're 12, people aren't going to take you seriously. Appearance really can have quite an effect on your career. I think this is the best thing I could have done.

How has it affected your inner self?
If you don't feel beautiful or if you feel that you have some flaw that really is bothering you, I think that you feel inhibited and tend to cocoon yourself. And when you fix it, it makes you come alive. This can definitely have an effect on your career and in meeting people; it also applies to your overall health. When you're confident you take better care of yourelf. Confidence is hugely important in all aspect of life.
