If you have a job or career in the Omaha area, you should know that the better you look, the more confident you feel, and the more you earn. 

It’s no secret that when your smile is radiant, when your teeth are straight and white, when your facial appearance is attractive, you can create a welcoming first impression. The “million-dollar smile” achieved with cosmetic dental services offered by Omaha dentist, Dr. Kenneth Henley, could be taken literally for executives–because that’s how much the perfect smile from cosmetic dentistry could help them earn because of it.

Recent research shows a connection between how much is in your paycheck and your appearance – including your smile (a direct result of the general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry you receive). A study released by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis found that more attractive people earned 5% more over their lifetimes than their less good-looking counterparts.  For an executive earning $75,000 a year in Omaha in 2008, with a 30-year career in front of them, an investment in cosmetic dentistry could accumulate to a difference of $250,000 to $350,000 over their career.

That will make even those who pride themselves on not succumbing to the vanity of cosmetic dentistry sit up and take notice. From the research, it appears that investing in cosmetic dentistry in Omaha is as good or better than putting money in top-performing mutual funds.

Just about everybody would agree that a dazzling smile is an important social asset, according to the results of a survey commissioned by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. But, if you’re in the business of business, you should note that 74 percent of those surveyed also said an unattractive smile can hurt a person’s chances for career success.

If you’re self-conscious about your smile, your job performance may suffer. Yet if your smile is bright and genuine, chances are you exude confidence and good cheer, which makes you easily approachable and pleasant for business transactions.

The truth is, however, that few people are blessed with perfect smiles. And luckily, you don’t have to be a high-earning executive to afford a million-dollar smile. With the latest advances in cosmetic dentistry, including smile whitening, straightening or replacing teeth, many cosmetic dentistry procedures can be completed in two or three visits.
