Any great cosmetic dentist will tell you that your smile says so much more about you than the last time you whitened your teeth. “A person’s smile can portray beauty, proportion and many other qualities,” says Atlanta cosmetic dentist Ronald E. Golstein, DDS. New York cosmetic dentist Husam Almunajed, DDS says our smile can also say more about our personality than we think. “Depending on how you want to be perceived—strong, dominant, delicate, calm—we can play with the shape of the teeth,” he says.
While Dr. Goldstein says many patients base their request for their new smile based on celebs in their age range, there are a few common requests. Below, celebrities whose smiles hit the most-wanted list.

Gabrielle Union
Brooklyn, NY cosmetic dentist Eugene D. Stanislaus, DDS says when it comes to a smile makeover, the most referenced celebrity in his office is Gabrielle Union. “The reason why her smile is so desired is because it is extremely symmetrical. The right side and left side are mirror images and when she smiles, you will notice that the edges of her upper teeth follow the curvature of her lower lip,” says the doctor. “Additionally, the gum line and the gingival heights of her upper teeth follow the contour of her upper lip. Finally, if you notice, the edges of her upper teeth are even with her eyes. She has a timeless, beautiful smile.”

Carrie Underwood
Cranberry Township, PA cosmetic dentist Robert M.
