A magic dental smile is often desired by individuals looking to improve the appearance of their teeth and enhance their overall smile. A beautiful smile can have a significant impact on a person's self-confidence and can also contribute to a positive first impression. There are several factors that contribute to a magic dental smile. The first is the alignment of the teeth. Straight teeth are typically more aesthetically pleasing and can be achieved through orthodontic treatments such as braces or clear aligners. Another important aspect is the color and shade of the teeth.
SMART SMILES
The Saving, Maintaining, and Retaining Their Smiles or “SMART” Smiles program provides oral health education and preventative care to underserved, school-aged children, while helping to create a positive dental environment and implement a referral system for necessary dental treatment. SMART Smiles is a community-led project attracting local dental professionals, service organizations, local and state agencies, and other interested volunteers who want to be part of a rewarding program that makes a positive difference in the lives of hundreds of elementary children. The children in need of urgent dental care are referred to a local pediatric dentist for treatment at no charge.
Because a child’s smile is worth saving.
Another important aspect is the color and shade of the teeth. Bright, white teeth are associated with good oral hygiene and are generally considered more attractive. Teeth whitening treatments, such as professional bleaching or at-home whitening kits, can help achieve a whiter smile.
Jennifer Banton, RDH
SMART Smiles was the heart and vision of long-time volunteer and TDASF Access Committee Chair, Jennifer Banton, RDH. Mrs. Banton piloted the program in Burnet County ISD in 2013, providing 230 children with over $84,000 worth of dental care. In late 2014, the program was officially adopted into the TDASF family of charitable dental care programs.
Mrs Banton was selected as one of KVUE’s 5 “Who Care” winners for her amazing work with SMART Smiles.
SCREENING EXAM
On Screening Day, students who have obtained consent from their parents or legal guardians for dental treatment are screened by a volunteer dentist. They receive a ‘dental report card’ that explains what areas of concern the dentist found and what preventive treatment the child will receive.
TREATMENT PROTOCOL
On Treatment Day, students are called by class to the treatment room. Here they meet their hygienist and receive a preventive dental cleaning, necessary dental sealants, and an application of fluoride varnish. The combination of these procedures helps to prevent decay. The ‘treatment completed’ form is then sent home to let parents know what care was provided to their child.
FOLLOW UP CARE
For children requiring additional dental care, we will work with local dentists to give students and parents referrals to providers. A small treatment fund may be available to help children who cannot afford treatment.

The shape and size of the teeth also play a role in creating a magic dental smile. Symmetrical and proportionate teeth are often considered more attractive. Dental veneers, which are thin shells bonded to the front surface of teeth, can improve the shape and size of teeth by covering any imperfections. The overall health and condition of the teeth and gums are crucial for a magic dental smile. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential to maintain good oral health and prevent dental problems such as cavities or gum disease. In addition to these factors, a magic dental smile is also influenced by an individual's facial features, lip shape, and the way their teeth and gums are displayed when smiling. A skilled cosmetic dentist can take these factors into consideration when designing a treatment plan to achieve a magic dental smile. Ultimately, a magic dental smile is unique to each individual and can be enhanced and improved through various dental treatments and procedures. The goal is to create a beautiful smile that not only looks aesthetically pleasing but also boosts the individual's self-confidence and overall well-being..
