Often one of the first clues to a person’s age is the appearance of their smile. Unfortunately for many people, their teeth age quicker than the rest of their physical features. As you age, your oral health and aesthetics are often compromised by staining foods and beverages, certain medications, teeth grinding, decay or periodontal disease. These factors can cause gums to recede and teeth to yellow, loosen, crack, break, or even fall out.
Growing older does not mean your looks have to grow older, too. Cosmetic dental technology offers a wide range of options to rejuvenate your smile.
Some of the treatments available to restore your youthful looks include:
- CEREC restorations
- Porcelain veneers
- Invisalign or SPEED braces
- Dental Implants
- Implant supported dentures
- Gum treatment
- Professional teeth whitening
If you suffer from multiple dental concerns, you may consider a full mouth reconstruction, which combines restorative and cosmetic dentistry treatments to both improve the function and beauty of your smile. Your dentist may recommend, for example, tooth colored fillings to replace old metal fillings, implants to replace dentures, and follow it all up with professional teeth whitening to create the finishing touch.
You may be surprised by how quickly and easily many of these procedures provide the results you desire. Some treatments can be completed in as little as one office visit. With advances in sedation dentistry, you can breeze through your time in the dental chair remaining relaxed and comfortable. Gone are the painful and extensive dental treatments you may remember from your younger years. Consult with an experienced cosmetic dentist to find out more about how cosmetic dentistry can return the youthful spark to your smile.
