Change Your Smile, Change Your Life

Did you know the color, shape, and size of your teeth can make you look older than you really are? It’s no secret that over the years, the appearance of our face, body, and even our teeth changes. The whiteness, fullness, and shapes associated with a younger smile can rejuvenate your smile and correct problems that could have cropped up from years of teeth clenching, night grinding, discolored teeth, a lack of preventative care, and more.

Aging can damage the appearance of your teeth by the following:

• Mouth and lips: Patients whose teeth angle inward or have non-symmetrical teeth can result in more uneven, thinner lips. A “gummy” smile” may be fixed with laser or gum reshaping.
• Narrowing jaw: Aging makes the jaw becomes narrower, which makes smiles appear less full. Porcelain crowns, inlays, or onlays may effectively help make your teeth more substantial and lead to an appearance of a wider jaw.
• Shorter teeth: Instances of repeated grinding, clenching, or drinking darker beverages and tooth-staining foods can shorten your teeth and making your entire face look squarer.
• Discolored teeth: Even younger patients experience tooth discoloration over time, which can be treated easily at our dental office with expert teeth whitening.
• Old, silver fillings: Silver/amalgam fillings are likely permanently out of style, and having these fillings can make you self-conscious. We can remove these fillings and replace them with tooth-colored dental fillings.
