What Is a Red Lipstick Smile™?

Basically, a Red Lipstick Smile™ is one that makes you want to put on your lipstick and then smile at the world.  It can be the beautiful smile you were born with or it may be one that has been 'esthetically enhanced.'  

"One of the sexiest things about a person, regardless of age, is her smile.  Plastic surgeons may disagree, but when someone flashes a Julia Roberts killer smile, it’s captivating." ~ Marc Lowenberg

GOLDEN PROPORTION OF THE FACE

A natural law of beauty.  The face is divided into 3 sections and in those people whom we consider most beautiful, those 3 sections are roughly the same size.  From the hairline to a spot between the eyes constitutes 1/3 of the face; from between the eyes to the bottom of the nose is another third; and from the bottom of the nose to the bottom of the chin is the final third.

As we age the bottom third of our face can sometimes begin to shrink.  This "shrinkage" is most commonly caused by something going on with our teeth.  The teeth may become worn down due to clenching or grinding over the years.  Or, you may have lost teeth.  When teeth are extracted or lost the bone that once held them in begins to shrink causing the bottom of the chin to get closer to the bottom of the nose.

A Red Lipstick Smile™ is one that enhances the proportions of the face.  If your smile is not currently holding up it's third, you may want to get it 'esthetically enhanced.'  

GOLDEN PROPORTION OF TEETH

In a beautiful smile, the width of the upper central incisors is in the Golden Proportion to the width of the lateral incisors.  All ten of the front teeth showing in the smile are in the Golden Proportion to each other.  These widths are hard to measure with an instrument, but we see them.  People whose teeth are in the Golden Proportion are those who create a beautiful appearance when we meet them socially.

An 'esthetically enhanced' Red Lipstick Smile™ is created by a dentist/artisan who is trained to see that Golden Proportion.

CERAMIST AND MATERIALS

In a beautiful, natural smile you will notice that the teeth are light and translucent.  An 'esthetically enhanced' Red Lipstick Smile™ will have that same quality.  This is where the importance of world-class, expertly trained ceramists who use only the very best porcelains come into play.

SOME COMMENTS

"Now that the procedure is done, I really see the value in having an "expert" do it.  The most important factor is the experience of the cosmetic dentist." ~ John

“I’ve always wanted big, white teeth, the kind that movie stars and fashion models have.  There is something trustworthy about people when their teeth are clean.  They somehow look more… honest." ~Tama
