The Anatomy of a “Perfect” Smile

You've probably noticed that a friendly greeting (along with a bright smile) usually gets a smile in response! It's a good feeling we humans are lucky to share. But, what exactly composes a fine smile? What Makes Teeth Beautiful? The Smile Line There are dimensions to the ideal smile that dentists work to achieve. In youthful smiles, the curve of the upper lip follows the curve of the lower lip. When the biting edges of the lower teeth conform to the lower lip, it's [...]

It's partially determined by cultural norms, however, self-esteem also plays a large role. If you feel attractive, you'll feel more confident about yourself—and others will note that confidence and believe it! Here's where dentistry fits in. Your [...]

Improving Self Esteem

Do Looks Affect the Way People Treat You? Positive self-esteem—how we feel about ourselves—is important to a healthy personality, the development of a positive attitude about life, and achievement in the direction we choose. It is well documented that people with a positive "feeling" about themselves do better in school, in business, and have closer, more meaningful relationships. One measure of self-esteem is how you feel about your physical appearance; or, more importantly, how you feel you look to others. The complexion, teeth, and [...]

Concerned with Smile Imperfections?

Have Confidence and Smile Wide! Several aspects of the teeth, lips and mouth combine to create the overall aesthetic of a smile. The smile line should have a slight curve to the upper teeth, following the curve of the lower lip. The teeth themselves should not be crowded or have gaps, and men's teeth are also slightly boxier, while woman's teeth are smaller and more rounded. While much emphasis is placed on the color of teeth, there is more to it than just "the [...]

Choosing Teeth Whitening

Ever since the invention of the mirror, people have been looking for an easy way to have whiter teeth. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits help by removing stains and deposits on the surface of the teeth. But for those patients whose teeth have dark, yellow or other internal discolorations, teeth whitening may be the answer. At about age thirty, there is a natural tendency for tooth color to dim, and if you smoke or overindulge in coffee or soda, darkening can be dramatic. [...]
