How can I maintain my smile as I age?

How can I maintain my smile as I age?

Aging and achieving old age doesn’t mean one’s appearance has to suffer. Instead of dreading the changes that come with age, our practice believes in celebrating life and helping our patients maintain an attractive and vibrant smile. Our cosmetic dentists provide a number of treatments to help members of our community achieve a beautiful looking smile at any age. We offer professional take-home whitening kits, tooth-colored fillings, Invisalign, and dental implants to help our guests feel and look their best.

Take-Home Whitening

As we get older, our teeth become yellow and stained with exposure to drinks like coffee, wine and dark-colored foods. With age and exposure to staining agents, teeth begin to lose their luster, too. Unlike store-bought products, which are largely ineffective, take-home whitening kits contain clinical formulations of whitening solutions that dramatically lighten teeth. Take-home kits allow patients of all ages to conveniently and safely whiten teeth in the comfort of one’s home.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

For most of the population, fillings and other types of restorations are a fact of life. Since traditional metal fillings are dark and conspicuous, our cosmetic dentists offer white restorations. Tooth-colored fillings are made from a white compound called composite resin that can be tinted to match the exact color of teeth. The result is a discreet, natural looking, and durable restoration.

Invisalign

It is never too late to improve the placement of one’s teeth. Invisalign was developed with adults in mind. If your teeth are improperly spaced, overlapped, and crooked, this discreet orthodontic system can help. Invisalign are clear plastic aligners that slowly reposition misaligned teeth over time.

Dental Implants

Tooth loss is more common among older patients because of wear and tear and the incidence of disease. Fortunately, dental implants are a great remedy for tooth loss. Dental implants address the loss of a tooth’s crown and its roots. They can also look incredibly natural and have a long lifespan.

We believe that age shouldn’t dictate one’s quality of life. To schedule a consultation with our cosmetic dental team, call our practice at (972) 218-0078 today.
