Alyssa
Mark
Imagine a life-transforming accident or being born with a smile that made you appear as if you were a jack-o-lantern: your life would surely be different from what your life is with a smile today. Lifetime has started a new series: Smile that starts off with two subjects: Alyssa and Mark, who need help with their smile.
Alyssa is a college student in New York state who is overly insecure about her teeth. With dreams of being a documentary filmmaker, Alyssa knows she will be meeting many people in her life and her smile is the result of a rare genetic disorder. The emotional impact of this challenge is immeasurable, and she seeks a better smile, literally.
Mark hails from Detroit and at age 46, he knows what it's like to smile with enthusiasm because he was lucky enough to be born with a great smile. However, a life altering accident has left him with many missing teeth and he no longer enjoys going out.
Of all makeovers, Smile is the most uplifting one we've seen to date, and we were thrilled to review the first episode. Its real substance and medical procedures are testament to the level of serious that they reach in this great work and both Dr. Amir and Dr. Debra do highly laudable work seen in this show.
Our own dentist and official dentist of Whom You Know, Dr. Garo Nazarian watched the first episode, and he comments:
"Fantastic, inspiring and emotional.
I feel like it was inspirational for me as a reminder as to how and why I got into dentistry.
I know both the dentists who did the smile makeover by the way."
The emotional journey you'll take with Alyssa and Mark will leave you with tears of joy, and when you watch this, you will see their true smiles. Above, they are not shown in detail because we want you to see the show!
Reality is the best fantasy of all it turns out.
Smile is a terrific feel-good show! Watch it starting May 28, 2015 on Lifetime.
Whom You Know Highly Recommends Smile by Lifetime!

Can you imagine having teeth so damaged it hampers leading a normal life? Some individuals have such poor dental conditions that they can’t fathom dating, working or even leaving homes due to the extreme distress, pain and embarrassment they experience daily. Now, Lifetime is offering these people a second chance with Smile, an all-new makeover series documenting the emotional, psychological and physical journey of transformative dental procedures. Smile will premiere Thursday, May 28, at 10pm ET/PT.
Over the span of six hour-long episodes, a team of renowned dentists will work with twelve patients from all over the country. The dentists include New York-based Dr. Amir Ahmadi, Dr. Debra Glassman and Dr. Ramin Tabib, and Dr. Kimberly Knopf and Dr. Bill Dorfman in Los Angeles. Facing some of the most challenging dental conditions they’ll ever see, these specialists apply their expertise to restore their clients’ smiles, giving them the ability to reclaim their confidence and pride.
Smile’s premiere episode features college senior Alyssa, who was born with a disabling genetic disorder that prevented many of her teeth from fully growing in. With the help of Dr. Ahmadi, Alyssa hopes she can finally hold her head high, date and revel in college life. The episode also follows Mark, who had perfect teeth growing up, and always loved to smile until an accident during a high school baseball game left him with a shattered mouth and low self-esteem. Now, Mark hopes that with dental surgery, he can regain the confidence to smile once again.
Smile is produced by 11th Street Productions. Executive producers are Morgan J. Freeman (Teen Mom), Bryn Freedman (Intervention) and Dia Sokol Savage (16 and Pregnant). Eli Lehrer, Mary Donahue and Colleen Conway Grogan of Lifetime also executive produce.
