Dental Options to Improve Smile Shape

Did you know that a skilled cosmetic dentist can take a decade off of your smile? It is true – whiter, straighter teeth make you appear much younger and more vibrant.

People are looking for ways to improve their appearance. A smile is a social asset with the potential to improve or even derail one’s career.
 
Today, cosmetic dentistry is practically routine. The results can be truly transformational. Here are the most common dental problems:

Yellowed teeth 
  •  Darker teeth are a common problem. 
  • Teeth tend to become more discolored with age because they absorb stains from foods and beverages like coffee or wine. 
  •  Advanced tooth whitening solutions can strip away the yellow, leaving you looking years younger.
Mesial Drift 
  • Cause unsightly crowding of teeth, a sure sign of aging. 
  • New procedures such as ClearCorrect can rebalance your smile for a fresher, younger look.
  • Orthodontics are not just for kids anymore, either. Get a perfect smile at any age with “invisible” braces at any age.

Old fillings and worn down teeth
  •  A mouth full of old silver dental work makes your smile instantly dated. 
  • Much like an ill-fitting suit, worn down teeth make you look old and tired. 
  •  Newer fillings are not only safer but practically invisible. Worn down teeth can be repaired and corrected with advanced dental options.
Missing teeth 
  • Missing teeth can make face sag inward, adding years to your look.
  • Make it harder to speak clearly, and eat properly.
  • Less attractive, missing, decayed, broken are often painful. 
  • Dental implants and innovative dentures that lock into place can give a beautiful smile.
