It doesn’t really matter whether we look old. What truly affects us is whether we feel old, and aesthetics happen to play a part in this. Like it or not, people treat us differently if our smile reveals staining from wear and tear.
What if you were told that cosmetic dentistry can turn back time by reversing signs of age? If you would be interested, keep reading. We have 4 potential treatment options lined up for you.
Teeth Whitening Creates a Youthful Glow
Yellowing, discoloration, staining – no matter what you call it, it adds a dull hue to your teeth. Dental blemishes can make your overall smile appear tarnished. Fortunately, you can polish teeth like you would a dainty tea set.
A teeth whitening treatment involves applying a stain-absorbing gel, whether it be in-office at your dentist’s or at-home with a portable kit. After completing the process, your pearly whites will have a bright, luminescent shine!
Porcelain Veneers Offer Lasting Vibrancy
Dental damage, such as cracks and chips, can contribute to discolored tones. Professional teeth whitening is a powerful treatment, but it can’t wipe away these types of flaws. Porcelain veneers could very well be a better option for patients wanting to conceal multiple blemishes.
For this treatment your dentist will custom craft a set of thin, porcelain shells to be adhered to the face of your teeth. That means your dental veneers can come in any size, shape, or color necessary for enhancing your look. And since they’re made from a durable porcelain material, you can count on them to last, resist stains, and even protect your pearly whites from further damage. With porcelain veneers, you’re definitely getting the best of all worlds!
Invisalign Skips the Awkward Phase
Metal braces are bulky and rather invasive. This can make even the simple actions of eating and talking look awkward! Plus, these are the types of difficulties often associated with dentures, which might not be the look you’re going for. It’s understandable if you’d rather skip out on straightening your teeth to avoid feeling like a cartoon character.
Fortunately, these days you can have your cake and eat it too. Invisalign clear aligners are more like a thin, low-profile mouthguard than traditional braces. When taken care of properly, they are in fact invisible to onlookers. And they’re removable, meaning you can eat without any hassle. Enjoy all the popcorn you want!
Botox and Dermal Fillers Smooth Over Life’s Wrinkles
Believe it or not, your dentist can also offer Botox and dermal filler treatments. It goes without saying that smoothing over the wrinkles you’ve accumulated over the years will help put some vim and vigor back into your features! Though these two services achieve the same effect, their methods are somewhat different. Be sure to consult with your dentist to see which one is best for you.
That goes for the other dental cosmetic treatments mentioned as well. There are plenty of youth-restoring options to choose from, so it’s important to check in with the professionals. They’ll ensure you get results you can be happy with!
