It’s World Smile Day, so we asked our experts to tell us what makes a great smile, what makes them smile and what they recommend to their patients for maintaining an unforgettable smile. Here, top cosmetic dentists share their secrets.

Atlanta cosmetic dentist Ronald Goldstein, DDS:
“Humor makes me smile the biggest! Over the years I have told my patients who say they do not smile big to look at their favorite comedy TV show with a mirror in hand when they are laughing to see just how many teeth are showing. That has never failed to evoke shock in the patient’s mind so instead of veneering four to six front teeth, it would definitely be best to include eight, or even 10 or 12 teeth, to create his or her best smile.”

New York cosmetic dentist Irene Grafman, DDS:
“A smile is your best medicine. Smiling can reduce stress hormones and research suggests can even improve your health and your heart. So show off that beautiful smile!”

Powell, OH cosmetic dentist Neal Patel, DDS:
“A smile should project health and joy. If yours doesn’t, a smile makeover could completely transform the way you look and feel. A smile transformed is a life changed.”

New York cosmetic dentist Jason Kasarsky, DDS:
“I have found that the number-one reason I smile is when I receive a compliment. A true, genuine smile is involuntary. It just pops. To make a smile brighter, whitening teeth is the best conservative aesthetic treatment you can get. The most important thing about a smile is that it’s your calling card, it is the first thing people notice about you. Even with a mask on, folks notice your eyes smiling. A better smile equals better self-esteem.”

San Francisco cosmetic dentist Swati Agarwal, DDS:
“The favorite part of my day is seeing my patients smile! Giving someone the gift of a beautiful, confident smile is the best part of my job.”
