Cosmetic dental procedures can do a lot for a person’s
appearance. Besides the obvious benefit
of improving a person’s smile, cosmetic dentistry can also turn back the hands
of time. One type of cosmetic dentistry, called anti-aging dentistry, offers a
way to actually change a patient’s facial features by changing the teeth.
Anti-aging dental procedures can provide a less expensive
alternative to a facelift, and requires little recovery time. According to some dentists, facelifts only
offer a temporary solution to certain patients’ problems. What makes some
people look older isn’t necessarily sagging skin; instead the real problem is
often the jawline and teeth.
A person’s teeth can shift and move because of the aging
process, the wear or the bite, resulting in the appearance of a thinner lip.
Also, in the back of the mouth, where some people may have had teeth taken out,
creates a loss of volume in a person’s face.
Cosmetic dental specialists use veneers (porcelain
overlays) on top of natural teeth, and crowns to fill out the back of the
mouth, where teeth may have been extracted.
With the support of new teeth filling out the face, the
lines around the mouth disappear, lips seem fuller, and sagging skin goes away. In as little as three visits, most patients
look and feel years younger.
