BEAUTIFUL SMILES NOTICED FIRST

Beautiful Teeth and a Radiant Smile are usually among the first things noticed when you meet a new person. However, there is a difference between what men observed first and what women view initially about a person. Also, it depends on whether women or men are being observed and whether or not they are being observed by the same sex or the opposite sex. Men and women have different perceptions of the face, head, teeth, and smile along with the body and they perceive the same and opposite sexes differently. According to a recent study by the Baluke Dental Studios and published in Gallery Dental Smile Designs by Patient News Publishing 2009, teeth and smiles may be viewed and perceived somewhat differently by men and women. However, there is no doubt that these are very important in terms of how a first impression is made. This is the most recent information available regarding how teeth and smiles are perceived by people. From this information you can draw your own conclusions as to how important you think these things are upon initial contact with new people.

Smiles and Teeth for Women were very important when encountering a new person and they were the second items noticed by men. Somewhat surprisingly it was the eyes of women that were noticed first by men according to the Dental Studios Survey. The eyes and smile accounted for 64% of women’s features that are initially noticed by men. Those things noticed next by men about women were the body, clothing, hair and lastly a variety of other things combined. The percentages of what men noticed first about women according to the Dental Studios Study are indicated below:

THINGS NOTICED FIRST ABOUT WOMEN

• EYES – 39%
• SMILE – 25%
• BODY – 14%
• CLOTHING – 12%
• HAIR – 3%
• OTHER – 7%

MEN have their Teeth and Smile noticed first by women according to the survey. Among women surveyed, 40% noticed a man’s smile first. Eyes were the second things about men that were noticed by women. Together, the eyes and teeth accounted for 75% of the features that women notice first about men. These first two things were followed in order by the clothing, hair and body (these two were tied) and followed by other things combined. The percentages of what women noticed first about men in the Dental Studios Survey are indicated below:

THINGS NOTICED FIRST ABOUT MEN

• SMILE – 40%
• EYES – 35%
• CLOTHING – 11%
• BODY – 4%
• HAIR – 4%
• OTHER – 7%

It was not surprising that a person’s teeth and smile ranked so high in the survey with both women and men. It is certainly one of the first things that people see when they encounter a new person or acquaintance. I think most people quickly notice a beautiful or handsome smile and also they notice a very poor smile. A poor smile is greatly accented if there are missing, cracked, broken, crooked or discolored teeth. A very poor smile can imply many things to a new person at an initial meeting, most of which are not good. On the other hand, if you have an unsatisfactory smile or teeth that are not in optimal condition, you should visit your Bellevue Cosmetic Dentist, because there are many modern dental techniques such as porcelain veneers and crowns can be used to create a smile that is very attractive. In the case of missing teeth, porcelain crowns placed on dental implants are a perfect solution to an attractive smile. Individual teeth that are crooked do not need full orthodontia and can be part of a beautiful smile using limited cosmetic tooth movement of the individual tooth or teeth that are not straight. Cracked and broken teeth can be repaired with dental bonding and composite tooth-colored fillings. Front teeth often have unattractive spaces between the called diastemas, which can be altered with either porcelain veneers or tooth-colored composite fillings. Often, an ordinary smile can be made beautiful simply by having your teeth bleached by your cosmetic dentist. In the case of a “gummy” smile, simple gum surgery with a laser can be accomplished with wonderful results and almost no pain even without anesthesia.
