Smile showed the process of giving people with "severe dental issues, causing problems with overall dental health and self-esteem," "transformative dental procedures." [3] [4] [5]

It featured several high-profile dentists like Debra and Steven Glassman [6] and Nicolas Ravon and Kimberly Knopf. [7]

Cast and controversy

One of the cast members, Brooke Allen, who got dental work done said she was left embarrassed, depressed, and nearly toothless after the show, saying the show promised that dentures were only temporary and once her bones healed, she would get implants, but the show shut down and implants never came.
