As you get older, it’s natural to experience some changes in your appearance. Your hair may turn gray or white, and your skin might even lose some of its elasticity. But when it comes to your smile, there are many ways it can evolve that can make you look much older than you feel. Here’s a closer look at how aging changes your teeth, and how cosmetic dentistry can help bring back your youthful, glowing grin so you look as young as you feel!
Your Smile vs. the Ravages of Time
When you age, your teeth and gums can change. Because growing older increases your risk of tooth loss and developing conditions like gum disease, many side-effects related to these issues can alter the appearance of your smile. Missing teeth can cause your cheekbones to look hollow or sunken and can create areas of loose or sagging skin around the face and jaw.
For those who still have their natural teeth, time can still take its toll by discoloring them. They can also become worn due to diet and age.
How Can I Restore My Youthful Smile?
Often, people seek cosmetic dentistry procedures because they believe their smile makes them look older than they feel. The good news is that these elective treatments can help reveal a more youthful grin, turning back the hands of time. Here are a few popular options, and how they can improve your appearance:
- Teeth Whitening: This treatment can be done in about an hour in your dentist’s office or at home in about two weeks and can remove up to eight shades of discoloration from your teeth, making them look whiter, brighter, and more youthful.
- Veneers: These small porcelain shells are completely customizable and can change the shape, size, spacing, and shade of your teeth in about two appointments. Best of all, the results can last up to 20 years with proper care!
- SureSmile: Many patients believe they’re simply too old to straighten their teeth, but the truth is that with fast, comfortable, discreet SureSmile clear aligners, you can get a more even grin in as little as 18 months, all while maintaining a professional appearance.
Remember, if your smile is revealing more about your age than you’re comfortable with, there’s no need to hide it away. With the help of cosmetic dentistry, you can correct the flaws that make you embarrassed or insecure about your teeth, allowing you to feel as young and vibrant on the outside as you do on the inside!
