What a smile communicates
Warmth, openness, health and confidence, all before a word is spoken. A hidden smile communicates the opposite, whether or not it is true.
What restoring it changes
Patients describe speaking more, laughing openly, and being photographed without thinking. The change is in behaviour, and others notice it before they notice the teeth.
The clinic’s role
To restore the smile in a way that looks like the person, so that what is communicated is confidence, not dentistry.
