A healthy, radiant smile – it is often what determines how we are perceived. A study by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) found that 48% of people consider their smile to be the most important feature influencing their first impression. There’s a reason Hollywood stars invest in perfect teeth, and in business, a smile is as important as a firm handshake. But it’s more than just looks. A smile is a powerful communication tool that affects our lives in ways we are sometimes not even aware of. Find out how it can shape your relationships, your career and your wellbeing.
Smiles and relationships – why does it attract people?
First impressions are only made once, and smiling can make all the difference. People who smile are perceived to be kinder, more open and friendly. It’s not just about aesthetics, but the energy we convey to others. Have you noticed that you feel freer in the presence of smiling people? That’s because smiling builds a sense of security and strengthens relationships.
In contrast, not smiling or avoiding smiling can make us perceived as distant and less engaged. Unfortunately, many people are made ashamed of their smile by dental problems, which can lead to avoiding eye contact and being more shy in social situations.“One of the most common problems for my patients is a lack of satisfaction with the appearance of their teeth and a feeling of being ‘blocked’ in social interactions. Complexes make them unable to behave freely in a group, and the constant need for control and the covering of the mouth when laughing result in a lack of full satisfaction with life and encounters with other people.” – comments dentist dr. Piotr Borowski of the Dentity Group.
Smiles and careers – when does it work in your favour?
At work, it’s not just competence that counts, but also first impressions, which can be crucial. Whether someone perceives you as confident, open to new challenges and ready to cooperate often depends on… your smile. Your smile. People who smile are more likely to be perceived as professional, charismatic and trustworthy. Their positive energy attracts others and makes us want to work with them. In contrast, not smiling can be perceived as a lack of confidence or distance. It may seem like a small thing, but it often makes the difference between success at a job interview, during an important presentation or when negotiating with a client.
Smiling and mental health – what impact does it have?
Did you know that just smiling – even if you have no reason to do so – can improve your mood? Scientists have discovered that when we smile, our brain perceives this as a signal that we are happy and automatically starts producing more endorphins, or happy hormones.
On the other hand, people who are ashamed of their smile often avoid situations where they have to show it. This can lead to reduced self-esteem and even long-term stress and emotional problems. According to a report in the British Dental Journal, people with visible dental problems are more likely to experience social exclusion and reduced self-esteem. Therefore, taking care of your oral health and smile aesthetics is not only a matter of appearance, but also a concern for your own wellbeing and quality of life.
Modern dentistry – not just for celebrities
Implantology is one of the fastest growing fields of dentistry, which allows not only the recovery of full bite function, but also a natural-looking smile. Modern solutions make tooth reconstruction permanent, aesthetic and comfortable, giving patients greater freedom in their daily lives.
It was possible to see how implant treatment options have changed at Nowa Stomatologia (Dentity Group) in Radom on 27 March. During the event, dentist dr. Piotr Borowski presented the latest approach to restoring teeth, demonstrating innovative techniques used in implantology. One of the solutions he talked about was a computer navigation system used for precise implant placement. This system virtually eliminates the risk of errors and protects key anatomical structures such as nerves or the maxillary sinuses.
“Precise planning is the foundation of successful implantology – it is what allows us to have maximum accuracy and a minimally invasive procedure. Thanks to dynamic navigation, we can place implants with precision to a fraction of a millimetre, which not only increases safety, but also reduces healing time and minimises post-operative discomfort. This technology allows us to operate in a predictable and controlled manner at every stage – from virtual planning to actual implant positioning. Most importantly, the patient leaves the practice with a temporary prosthetic job that looks and functions like natural teeth. This is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also an immediate improvement in life comfort and confidence.” – comments dentist dr. Piotr Borowski.
