As you age, your smile can begin to show signs of a life well lived. Discoloration, chips, and uneven wear can all take their toll on your gorgeous grin, making you look more mature than you feel. The great news is that you\u2019re never too old for cosmetic dentistry. Here\u2019s how this elective branch of dentistry can help improve your teeth and give you the youthful, vibrant smile you\u2019ve always wanted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Veneers are thin, porcelain shells that fit over your teeth to instantly change their shape, size, and color. To get them, your dentist will need to remove a thin layer of enamel and then cement them in place. With proper care, your new smile can last up to 20 years. This treatment is perfect for patients with healthy teeth that want to transform them instantly without the need for multiple procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal-Free Dental Restorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you have unsightly dark spots in your smile from metal fillings or crowns? This can be extremely embarrassing when you open your mouth to speak or chew and can make you look a bit too wise beyond your years. Thankfully, metal-free dental restorations can help! Your dentist will simply remove your old fillings, and replace them with metal-free, composite resin restorations that are both durable and natural-looking. These can last up to ten years with proper care, and because they blend seamlessly into your arches, can make you look years younger when you smile and speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic dental bonding uses the same durable, natural-looking composite resin as your dentist uses in metal-free dental restorations to rebuild teeth that are chipped, uneven, or badly stained. Though it typically only lasts between five and seven years, it does not require any enamel to be removed so it is completely reversible, and it\u2019s more affordable than veneers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deep stains can take up residence in your smile due to medications, age, smoking, and your diet. Professional teeth whitening can remove up to eight shades of discoloration in about one hour at your dentist\u2019s office, or in approximately two weeks with a convenient custom take home kit your dentist can provide, taking years off your grin with minimal effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smile Makeovers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For patients who would like to change multiple aspects of their smile, a smile makeover can be completely customizable to fit your unique needs. Your dentist can design a treatment plan that will correct numerous problems at once, giving you a more youthful, beautiful smile you\u2019ll be proud to show off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, there\u2019s no age limit on a gorgeous, glowing grin. In fact, healthy, white teeth can take years off your appearance. Don\u2019t let your teeth give away your age. Spek to your dentist today about cosmetic dentistry!
