Having a positive expression is viewed as a sign of youthfulness. If you hide your damaged or discolored teeth with a neutral expression this makes you appear older. As you grow your smile might fade due to the lifestyle habits that wear down your teeth. To maintain that healthy and youthful look then there are some things that you can do. Our dentist will guide you on how to take care of your teeth to achieve that youthful look for a longer time.
Avoid smoking and drinking
Your teeth can discolor over time due to some habits like smoking and drinking or either natural staining. To get a toothy grin you can whiten your teeth so that you get a natural shade. The whitening procedure gives your teeth a natural white and after this you need to avoid staining drinks, smoking and other diets that can bring discoloration
Swap metal fillings
As you age your mouth might have metal fillings or metal crowns. Change the metal fillings by having tooth-colored composite fillings so that your smile is bright. The traditional metal fillings crack the teeth but composite resin bonds with your teeth and reinforce the existing teeth.
Porcelain veneers
You can hide your aging expression by using porcelain veneers. The porcelain veneers are made of wafer-thin material and can be used to correct and restore the natural structure, appearance, and function of your teeth.
Dental Implants
You place dental implants in the mouth permanently and you embed them into the jawbone and treat them like natural teeth. If you have dental implants you can floss, brush and also eat in a normal way. Implants are into two main components, a titanium post that acts as a root. Surgically the post is put into the jawbone. After the healing process, the dentist attaches a permanent crown to the implant so that it replaces the missing tooth structure. This is a permanent procedure and it makes you attain a youthful look
