Over the years, you expect to see crow\u2019s feet and a few gray hairs, but your smile can also show the passing of time. Discolored, worn, or missing teeth can make you look years older than your chronological age. Thankfully, you can turn back the clock with cosmetic dentistry. You don\u2019t have to be rich or famous to look younger because there are solutions to fit all budgets. Here are 5 options to bring new life to your smile.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n\n\n
Porcelain veneers are associated with a hefty price tag, but they can be the most cost-effective solution because they can address many issues at once. A veneer is a thin shell that\u2019s bonded to the front side of a tooth to enhance its color, size, and shape. They can correct discoloration, chips, and gaps when bonded to the teeth visible when smiling. In as few as 2 appointments, you can enjoy drastic improvement that can last for a decade or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Metal fillings instantly show your age because they are considered outdated. Modern fillings are made of composite resin, which is customized to match your enamel. They\u2019ll blend in seamlessly with your smile, so only a trained dental professional will know they are there. Not only will you take years off your age, but you\u2019ll benefit from a metal-free solution, so there\u2019s no risk of mercury exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If OTC products aren\u2019t giving you the results you want, you can enjoy in-office results with at-home teeth whitening. Your cosmetic dentist will give you everything you need to get your teeth up to 8 shades whiter from the comfort of your home. You\u2019ll use the kit for about 2 weeks, and your results can last for several months to years, depending on your aftercare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you missed your chance for braces as a child or your teeth have moved a little, you\u2019re never too old for braces. Brackets and wires can treat the most complex bite and alignment issues. A straight smile will boost your self-esteem while improving your oral health and functions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 in 5 orthodontic patients is over the age of 18 because of less noticeable treatment options, like clear aligners. ClearCorrect can reposition your teeth without brackets and wires. Discreet aligners are worn over your teeth, providing a sophisticated, comfortable solution. Although every case differs, most patients are finished with their treatment in 12 to 18 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
