The smile is one of the most defining features of one's face, and when done properly, it can complement facial features and truly brighten up the entire face.

I think what makes a beautiful smile is one that brings harmony and symmetry to a person's face, with a natural white color, surface texture, translucency, detailed anatomy of each tooth, and beautiful broad arch form to display as many teeth as possible.
What I admire most about a person's smile is one that displays almost all of their teeth, each with their own well-defined anatomy, evenly positioned, that's bright and white!
