Look Your Best

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

As a male model and aspiring actor I needed to look the best that I possibly could. I spent long hours every day at the gym working hard to keep my body in top physical shape. I adhered to a strict diet and never drank alcohol. I also spent a lot of money on tanning, hair cuts, and products to guarantee that I always looked my best. I didn’t want to miss out on one opportunity. My agency constantly was sending me to test shoots and casting calls hoping that I would get my big break.

I was always self-conscious when a photographer would ask me to smile in a photo. My teeth were far from perfect; I had a huge gap right in between my two top front teeth. There was no way that I could get braces now though, I would miss out on modeling work for the next year. My agency suggested that I visit a cosmetic dentist to see if there was a quick fix to my problem. They gave me a list of prominent cosmetic dentists within the city and they offered to pay the bill for any work that I needed.

I really didn’t know a lot about cosmetic dentists or the procedures that they performed. I was under the impression that I would have to go to an orthodontist and have braces put on if I ever chose to have the gap between my teeth closed. I had no idea that cosmetic dentists could achieve this same result in one appointment.

After I made an appointment for a consultation I went to see what the cosmetic dentist had to say about my gap. She smiled at me and said that it would be an easy fix. The cosmetic dentist said that she could close the gap within a couple of hours. I was completely surprised. I was very anxious to have the procedure done.

The day of the procedure I was in great spirits. I couldn’t wait for my next photo shoot or casting call. I knew that this would make a huge difference in the number of jobs that I got. I always felt that I was never given speaking roles because of the appearance of my teeth. Having this procedure done was going to significantly change my life and provide me with the rewards that I had worked so hard for.
