Beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. But when it comes to what truly makes things like a smile attractive, studies have shown there are certain factors that are more important than others. Here’s a closer look at five fabulous features that your grin needs to qualify for being gorgeous, and how your cosmetic dentist can help you achieve them!
The Visibility of Your Teeth
According to a recent study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the most important feature in a beautiful smile is the number of teeth showing when you grin. The greater the visibility, the more attractive you’ll appear. Other factors include their alignment, which should be even and free of any dark spaces between them and the corners of your mouth. If this is an area of your own smile that you’d like to improve, treatments like veneers or Invisalign could help.
The Size of Your Teeth
When it comes to tooth size, looking attractive takes the Goldilocks approach; i.e., not too big, but not too small, either. The good news is that with treatments like veneers or metal-free dental crowns, your cosmetic dentist can help make the size of your pearly whites “just right” for your smile!
The Visibility of Your Gums
While most people probably don’t think a lot about their gums, the truth is that red, puffy, or bleeding periodontal tissue can take attention away from your teeth, lips, and the rest of your face. Worse yet, untreated gum disease could lead to worsening dental problems like persistent bad breath, recession, tooth loss, and even bone deterioration. To remedy these problems, speak to your dentist about periodontal therapy to eliminate infection and protect your smile from further damage.
The Positioning of Your Teeth
The spacing of your teeth can also be a big factor when determining the attractiveness of your smile. When they’re evenly spaced and flush, they not only look beautiful, but they are also much easier to care for, helping you avoid oral health problems like cavities and gum disease. Cosmetic dentistry treatments like veneers can improve the appearance of their positioning, or for more permanent results, Invisalign Clear Braces can gently guide them into a more aesthetically pleasing spot, all the while making it easier to maintain their health and function.
The Color of Your Teeth
Finally, having a bright, white smile is another important factor in a gorgeous grin. Unfortunately, age, lifestyle, and diet can all take their toll on your teeth, causing them to accumulate stains and discoloration that make you look older and less attractive. Your cosmetic dentist can help you eliminate that dingy appearance with treatments like professional whitening, or for a longer-lasting white, porcelain veneers can cover old stains and help you prevent an undesirable hue from redeveloping.
