Love is tricky. If you’re unlucky in love, you’ll likely get no shortage of advice about what you should be doing better, how you should just put yourself out there, and how all you really need is confidence. While this isn’t necessarily bad advice, it could do to inject a little bit of scientific data into this discussion if you want something you can really trust.
As it turns out, the data shows that one of the best things you can do to become more appealing is to improve your smile. Here’s what surveys say, and how you can get teeth that are sure to impress on your next date.
Survey Says…
Before the days of Tinder and Instagram, Match.com was the main way that singles connected online. This dating platform obviously had a unique interest in what draws people together, and with the massive userbase at their disposal they would often conduct surveys to discover what prospective singles find important.
In 2018, one such survey discovered that a beautiful smile was the number one “must have” among singles looking for a partner. 58% of men and 71% percent of women said it topped their list of something that could sway their judgement about a potential partner.
How to Get a Date-Ready Smile
There are plenty of ways your smile could start to look less-than-stellar, but thankfully there are also an incredible number of ways to improve the look of your teeth. Of course, if you’re dealing with noticeable problems like tooth decay or gum disease, a dentist can help you improve how you feel incredibly quickly. However, there’s also cosmetic dentistry for those people who are interested in looking their best.
Patients unhappy with the color or shape of their teeth can benefit from veneer, teeth whitening, direct bonding, and several other aesthetic treatments designed to address cosmetic problems with their smile. Those unlucky in love might want to look for an experienced cosmetic dentist near them, allowing them to get a smile that’s sure to impress.
