It's no surprise that, when it comes to dating, physical attraction is essential. What is surprising to know is that, of all the possible physical traits, singles seek a mate with beautiful teeth. Yes, that's right: one of your most important physical features is your pearly whites. According to a recent national study, beautiful teeth top the list, beating out other physical traits like trim bodies or a full head of hair.
In a Match.com survey of almost 5,500 single adults over the age of 21, researchers found that teeth – meaning a white, straight healthy smile – were the most popularly desired physical trait among both men and women. Fifty percent of men judged teeth as the most important physical quality while a whopping 71 percent of women ranked teeth as the top feature.

Five Ways to Achieve a Winning Smile
Achieving a white, straight and healthy smile may be the key to jump-starting your love life, or at least snagging a date. Dr. Matthew, DDS, MICOI offers the following procedures for creating glowing chompers:
· Whiten your smile. White teeth signify health and hygiene. Professional whitening, like the BriteSmile teeth whitening system, can help you achieve white teeth that last longer than strips or other whitening methods.
· Invisalign. You can bypass a typical orthodontist and still achieve straight teeth through this process. Using clear plastic aligners to straighten teeth, Invisalign is far more comfortable, and subtle, than traditional metal braces.
· Porcelain veneers. Veneers can improve any discoloration, irregularities in shape, or repair the wear and tear of aging. They are natural-looking, translucent and work well to transform the look of your smile.
· Dental Implants. They provide a permanent, desirable option for the patient looking for a long-term, reliable solution for replacing missing teeth.
· Replace your old silver or black fillings. Even though these materials last a long time, new composite and porcelain restorations not only look natural and healthy, they can also help the integrity of the teeth.
