Perhaps most mysterious is the draw of great smiles \u2014 just what makes them so beautiful?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortdentaltx.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">Cosmetic dentistry<\/a> has the answer to this last question. Read below about three necessary traits of a beautiful smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tooth Color<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first noticeable thing about beautiful smiles is their tooth color. In particular, their white, gleaming shine somehow conveys cleanliness and elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This aspect explains the popularity of professional whitening treatments. Over time, staining can discolor teeth and make them look yellowish. However, teeth whitening with bleaching ingredients can remove stains to return them to a more natural and white appearance. &nbsp;For those whose enamel isn\u2019t naturally white, dentists can also use dental veneers or crowns to whiten teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gum Display &amp; Color<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How much of your gums are visible in your smile will impact the latter\u2019s quality. Too much gum display leads to what\u2019s called a \u201cgummy\u201d smile. It can also make it seem like you have small teeth and large gums. Meanwhile, too little gum display could cause your smile to look \u201ctoothy\u201d or old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your gums should also have the proper color to create the contrast needed for a good smile arc. If gum disease is causing redness and inflammation, it will affect both the amount of gums showing and their color. As for what a smile arc is, well\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smile Arc<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201csmile arc\u201d is the curve of your smile created by your maxillary gum line and incisal edge. It should have a slight upward curve and narrow toward the ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The maxillary gumline is where your upper teeth and gums touch. It should define the smile arc with a relatively straight appearance that curves around each tooth in an even way. Gumline disruption can make your gums appear unhealthy and cause straight teeth to look crooked. Some dentists employ gum contouring to help you achieve the best maxillary gum line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other line that defines your smile arc is the incisal edge, the edge of the upper teeth that cut into food when you bite. Its line should be symmetrical and curve upward from the central incisors \u2014 the longest teeth in your mouth \u2014 toward the molars in the back of your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dentists can correct unattractive disruptions to it with restorations like dental veneers, dental crowns, or even dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Audiences might find beautiful smiles mysterious, but dentists know the qualities that make them good-looking. Consider seeing your local specialist to get such a smile for yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fortdentaltx.com\/dr-cheng.html\"><em>Dr. Johnny Cheng<\/em><\/a> <em>is a dentist practicing in Fort Worth, TX<\/em><em>, having graduated from the Baylor College of Dentistry.
