is an asset that cannot be easily overestimated, since the first impression a person makes is through their eyes and their smile. An attractive smile, has an impact on one's personal and professional life and is certainly a reflection of personal confidence, self-esteem and health.

For most people, an appealing smile is an important part of the overall impression a person makes. An American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) survey found:

  • More than 92% of adults agree that an attractive smile is an important social asset.
  • Nearly as many, close to 88%, say they always remember someone with an especially attractive smile.
  • 85% agree that an unattractive smile makes a person less appealing to people of the opposite sex.
  • 74% agree that an unattractive smile can hurt a person's chances for career success.

However:

  • Only 50% of Americans are satisfied with their smile.

Many adults want to change their smiles. Some want to correct problems they have had since childhood such as discolored, gapped, or crooked teeth. Others want to fix conditions they've developed over time, like cracked or worn-down teeth, to help create a more youthful smile.
