HOW A BEAUTIFUL SMILE CAN MAKE YOU LOOK YOUNGER

The smile is one of the first things we notice when we meet someone. Not only does it influence facial aesthetics, but it can also reflect youth, vitality and health. Over time, teeth can become worn, stained or lose volume, contributing to an aged appearance. Fortunately, there are a number of dental treatments that can rejuvenate the smile for a younger, healthier appearance.

Factors that age the smile

Dental aging is a natural process that is influenced by several factors, among them:

• Enamel wear: Over time, teeth become shorter and flatter due to constant friction from chewing and clenching.

• Loss of brightness and color: The tooth enamel is weakening, leaving the underlying dentin visible, which has a more yellowish tone.

• Gum recession: With age, the gums may recede, exposing the tooth roots and giving a sensation of elongated teeth.

• Bruxism wear: The habit of clenching or grinding the teeth accelerates the deterioration of the enamel and can cause fractures or irregularities in the bite.

• Dental loss: The absence of teeth generates facial sagging, which contributes to an aged and unstructured appearance.

Treatments for effective dental rejuvenation

Advances in dentistry make it possible to improve dental esthetics and functionality through different personalized treatments:

Tooth whitening

This treatment removes stains and restores a bright white color to the teeth. There are both in-clinic and at-home whitening options, depending on the patient’s needs.

2. Dental veneers

Porcelain or composite veneers are thin shells that adhere to the surface of teeth, improving their color, shape and size. They are an effective solution to correct worn, fractured or misaligned teeth.

3. Dental contouring and reconstruction

The reshaping of worn or irregular dental edges restores harmony to the smile, achieving a more youthful and natural appearance.

4. Treatments for receding gums

Gum grafting or gingival regeneration techniques help restore the gum line and protect exposed tooth roots, improving esthetics and oral health.

5. Adult Orthodontics

The correction of dental alignment with invisible orthodontics or discreet brackets not only improves esthetics, but also the functionality of the bite, avoiding unnecessary wear.

6. Replacement of dental pieces

Dental implants are the best solution to replace missing teeth, restoring facial structure and preventing soft tissue collapse.
