Aging can alter your appearance in many ways, and your grin is no exception. After years of daily use, your teeth can look darker, worn down, or shift out of alignment. Thankfully, your dentist provides several cosmetic services<\/a> that can reverse the clock and restore a much more youthful visage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your current dental condition makes you look older than you feel, keep reading to learn about three popular procedures that can enhance your appearance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Treatment #1: Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brushing and flossing your teeth twice daily is a simple and effective way to keep them clean and avoid stains. However, it\u2019s no guarantee that they won\u2019t eventually become discolored. Years of frequent or repeated exposure to darkly pigmented foods and drinks can leave your once-pearly whites looking more yellow or brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many over-the-counter products claim to be able to bleach stains away, but plenty of patients struggle to achieve the results they\u2019re hoping for. Fortunately, your dentist can provide a professional-grade take-home teeth whitening kit that contains ultra-concentrated whitening agents. Plus, they include a custom-fitted tray for optimal application from the comfort of your living room. Within a couple of weeks, your smile could look up to 8 shades brighter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment #2: Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that enamel is the hardest substance the human body produces? Despite its strength and resilience, it\u2019s not completely invincible. After decades of daily use, it starts to thin, leaving your teeth more vulnerable to chips, cracks, stains, and other aesthetic imperfections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porcelain veneers are a versatile treatment that can be used to address one or more minor flaws in your grin. These thin ceramic shells are customized to be the ideal shape, shade, and size and then are cemented over the front surface of your teeth to mask problems. Once they\u2019re in place, you\u2019ll have an instantly enhanced smile to show off. Furthermore, these covers can last 20+ years with the right care, making them an excellent long-term solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treatment #3: Direct Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know human jaws can produce up to 265 pounds per square inch of pressure? Your teeth are well equipped to deal with the bite pressure, but over time, your enamel thins, and they wear down. Eventually, they might shrink too much and start to look too small compared to their neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your dentist can use direct bonding to rebuild overly small or misshapen pearly whites. For this procedure, they apply color-matched composite resin directly to your enamel in layers. Then, they mold it to look like your natural teeth before hardening it with a special ultraviolet light. When they\u2019re finished, your grin will have a much more even appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re eager to restore a younger-looking smile, contact your cosmetic dentist today to book your consultation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
