With National Smile Day approaching on May 31, cosmetic dentist Dr. Seti Byrd is shedding light on the rising trend of smile makeovers and offering expert advice on choosing the right dental enhancements.

Despite studies showing that smiling can boost mood, reduce stress, and even lower heart rates, many Americans feel self-conscious about their smiles. In today’s world, where Zoom meetings, social media, and dating apps are prevalent, the pressure to maintain a perfect smile leads many to seek cosmetic dental treatments.

Byrd, founder of Skyview Dentistry in Charlotte, N.C., emphasizes the importance of making informed decisions when opting for smile upgrades like veneers, Invisalign, or professional whitening. She highlights that each option offers different benefits depending on individual goals, budget and timeline.

“Each option has different benefits depending on what youre trying to achieve,” Byrd says. “It’s so important to help patients make an informed decision theyll feel confident about, whether they want a small touch-up or a full transformation.”

According to an industry report, veneers are among the fastest-growing cosmetic dental treatments in the U.S., with demand increasing nearly 10% year-over-year. Additionally, more than 19 million people worldwide have received Invisalign clear aligners.
