Survey Says: People Appear More Intelligent, Wealthy and Successful After Cosmetic Dental Work

What are the most common reasons a person chooses a beautiful new smile? Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist, Dr. Kourosh Maddahi knows the top reasons that his patients have come to him. Many want to look healthy or appear younger and to simply look more attractive.

Before and after photos of patients who had cosmetic dental work done were surveyed. When asked for instant response to what they saw, of course attractive and popular with the opposite sex were improved, but the interesting factors were that people thought these after-photos were of people who were more intelligent, wealthy and more successful in their careers. As a note, none of these before pictures had rotten or missing teeth showing or terribly bad dental health problems.

Dr. Maddahi discusses why people come to him to improve the look of their smiles, “Why do people come for cosmetic dentistry? I can’t tell you which is most important thing, but many have recently taken a photo or they have looked in the mirror and their teeth look bad. Many realize that they just don’t smile in order to hide their teeth or they find themselves putting their hand in front of their mouth. Some even restrict social activities because they feel their teeth look bad and are a bad reflection on them.”

Some are just inspired by what they see on television or what they see in other friends or relatives who have work done. Dr. Maddahi continues, “They may see a makeover show and before that were hopeless. They often see that another person had even worse teeth before and they see they can be helped. The other thing is that sometimes my new patients have been putting off a visit to the dentist for several years. They have an emergency and once they are here, they come to understand that dentistry has changed and that we can help them without any trauma that has been associated with dentistry. Then they elect to take care of all their dental needs.”

One patient of Dr. Maddahi, Mrs. B., had this to say about how the dental work made a difference for her, “You can’t put it into words. It makes such a change in your life. It made a change not only aesthetically but functionally. My previous dental work was replaced and aesthetically and functionally it totally improved. Everyone notices. ‘How much younger you look!’ I hear it all the time. ‘You have to be a movie star to look like that!’ That’s a big improvement. I want people to understand what a difference it can make.”
