What Makes a Smile Attractive?

An act as simple as showing your teeth can have a powerful, emotional effect on another person.  Almost immediately, when someone smiles, it creates a warm feeling in the other person setting them at ease and may even turn a bad day into a good one.  But what makes a smile attractive?  Although highly subjective at times there are a few key things that will make a smile attractive.

Whiten Up

In general, whiter teeth are considered more attractive.  Of course, this depends on what country you live in but for the most part in the U.S., most everyone wants a whiter smile.  There are numerous ways to whiten teeth, from over-the-counter whitening strips to in-office whitening at your dentist's office.  Which one is right for you depends on many factors and is best discussed with your dentist. 

Straighten Up

That perfect smile is often hindered by crooked teeth, even though they may already be white.  There are a few options to straighten teeth from conventual braces with wires and rubber bands to clear Invisalign trays.  Again, the best option for you is best decided after a consult with your dentist. 

Repair What's Worn Out

Age worn teeth will typically have all the above issues along with short, worn and even broken teeth.  Treatment to restore what’s been lost can be quite extensive and also expensive but the best investment someone can make is in themselves.
