AS one of the first things people notice about you, the right smile is an important facet to self-esteem, say beauty gurus.

When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, there are mainly three types of smiles - the sexy smile, the sophisticated smile and the sporty smile ... and as a special Valentine's offer one clinic is offering a 15 per cent discount on services.

The team at the Dr Fadel Al Alawi Clinic believes it can help customers turn heads, as people try to take a second look at their sensational smiles.

Factors that influence the smile design are facial shape, image aspirations and age, or how old the patient wants to appear.

"A sophisticated smile gives the appearance of more intelligence, maturity and judgment. A sexy smile gives the appearance of more warmth, energy and boldness. Longer central incisors make you appear younger. Also, whiter teeth make you appear younger. Conversely, a flatter smile or a more subdued colour to the teeth make you appear more mature," a spokesman said.

Book a 'smile design consultation' at the Dr Fadel Al Alawi Clinic in Seef by contacting 17580058.
