Be Happy, Smile Brightly!

At Hamlin Dental Group, we're proud to be the number one option for families looking for a gentle dentist throughout the San Fernando Valley. While our conservative, comfort-centric approach to family dentistry is perhaps our chief claim to fame, we're equally proud of the cosmetic dentistry that we perform on patients at every age. After all, scientific studies have shown that smiling brightly can go a long way toward making you feel happy...and at Hamlin, we're all about happiness!

At the University of Cardiff in Wales, a study was done that found people who were unable to frown due to Botox injections were happier on average than those who were able to frown. "It would appear that the way we feel emotions isn't just restricted to our brain - there are parts of our bodies that help and reinforce the feelings we're having," says Michael Lewis, a co-author of the study.

Of course one of the chief reasons a person might not smile is a lack of confidence in their teeth, which is why we're proud to offer teeth whitening, Invisalign® in North Hollywood, Van Nuys and Northridge, and other cosmetic options.We know that a bright, beautiful smile is a great way to boost confidence, and therefore boost smiles. Another great thing about smiling, it's contagious. So remember, every time you flash your pearly whites, you're passing on the happiness in your heart, and making the world a little brighter!
