    In recent years, one of the most requested treatments by patients in dental consultations has been aesthetic dental treatments in the pursuit of a healthy and youthful smile. Dental professionals must consider the different perceptions of what is considered aesthetic in various population groups due to the subjective factors involved in their assessment. Therefore, the general objective of this research was to compare the perceptions of dentists and patients regarding the factors affecting the aesthetics of the smile in a private dental center, 2023. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 15 dentists and 45 patients from a dental center. The study technique was a survey, and the measurement instrument was a questionnaire with 3 questions where 9 smile photographs were evaluated, with 3 photographs for each component of the smile being considered. These photographs were modified using Photoshop. The smile components evaluated were gingival contour, lip line, and dental proportion, which were assessed on an analog visual scale (VAS) with 5 levels of attractiveness. Results: It was found that the gingival contour perceived as attractive by patients and dentists was photograph 1, with 37.8% and 40.0%, respectively. Regarding the lip line, the smile perceived as more aesthetic was photograph 5, with 37.8% and 40%, respectively. Regarding dental proportion, photograph 8 received an aesthetic perception rating of 17.8% and 26.7%, respectively, indicating similar perceptions between the evaluators. Conclusion: It was concluded that there is no difference in aesthetic perception when evaluating smile factors between dentists and patients at a private dental center.
