So how can you stand out online in an endless carousel of profile pictures? Research suggests that it could be as easy as smiling! Read on as your local cosmetic dentist breaks down how your pearly whites can influence your dating life and how to get a smile that earns you more right swipes!

Show Off Your Best Self with a Smile

It’s common knowledge that a nice smile will help make you look friendly and approachable. However, countless studies demonstrate that smiles with nice-looking teeth are consistently seen as more confident, more trustworthy, and more successful as well! In fact, a recent study published by Cognition & Emotion indicates that overall attractiveness is strongly influenced by how intense a person’s smile is. Other studies even found that a bright, healthy smile could potentially compensate for relative unattractiveness.

Recently, dating app Coffee Meets Bagel analyzed over 300 of their dating profiles to see what types of smiles were “liked” the most. Of the women who were “liked” more than 50% of the time, 58% showed their pearly whites while smiling, and only 17% didn’t smile in their photos. In the profiles of the men who were “liked” more than 50% of the time, 79% showed their teeth while smiling, and only 16% didn’t smile. When it comes to dating, science shows that a smile can make all the difference.

What If You Don’t Like Your Smile?

If you aren’t in love with the look of your teeth, you may have a harder time finding that special someone. Thankfully, it’s never been easier to erase dental imperfections and get a set of pearly whites you’ll be excited to show off! There are a variety of ways cosmetic dentistry can help you get the smile of your dreams, like:

• Teeth whitening: A quick and easy teeth whitening can make a dramatic difference in your smile! Plus, an in-office treatment can brighten your teeth by up to 10 shades in just one visit!
• Cosmetic dental bonding: Another treatment with fast but dazzling results is cosmetic dental bonding, which can erase chips, cracks, stains and gaps in one appointment as if they were never there in the first place!
• Metal-free restorations: A shiny metal crown or filling can make you look much older than you actually are. Thankfully, you can have your silver restorations replaced with tooth-colored ones that are more lifelike and healthier for your smile.
• Porcelain veneers: Celebrities like Tom Cruise and Morgan Freeman owe their award-winning smiles to porcelain veneers. This popular service can completely transform a wide array of dental imperfections in just two quick visits!
