Age “ain’t nothing but a number,” or so the saying goes, but there are still some things you tend to outgrow as time goes on. One thing that many patients wonder if they’ve aged out of is cosmetic dentistry. The great news, however, is that with this elective branch of dentistry, there’s no upper limitation on who can get treatment, no matter how many candles are on their birthday cake! In that spirit, here are a few popular cosmetic dentistry procedures, and how they can help make you look and feel more youthful at any age!
Porcelain Veneers & Lumineers
Porcelain veneers and Lumineers can instantly change the shape, size, and color of your teeth, giving you a more youthful smile. With proper care and use, they can last up to 20 years and even resist stains. Because porcelain veneers do require a small amount of enamel to be removed, you’ll always need veneers or a crown on your teeth going forward, but with Lumineers you can enjoy the benefits of this treatment without any enamel loss.
Cosmetic Dental Bonding
Broken teeth can make your smile look older than its years. Cosmetic dental bonding is a fast, affordable way to repair teeth that are worn, chipped, or deeply stained. It can be done in just one appointment, it is completely painless, and the results can last more than five years, giving you a more youthful, gorgeous grin!
Teeth Whitening
Stains and discoloration can develop for many reasons, including diet, bad oral habits like smoking, medication, and even genetics, leaving you looking older than you really are. The good news is that with professional whitening from your dentist, you can easily remove up to eight shades of discoloration in just one treatment.
Gum Recontouring
Having a gummy smile can make your teeth look too short or stubby, aging your face. Broaden your smile and take years off your appearance with the help of gum recontouring, a permanent treatment that eliminates excess tissue to make the teeth appear bigger and more youthful!
Remember, there’s no upper age limit on a beautiful smile, or on cosmetic dentistry. If your teeth and gums are making you look older than you feel, schedule a consultation with your dentist today and find out how you can take years off of your appearance while improving your oral health!
