Aging gracefully is something to strive for. There are certain inevitabilities with the passage of time, and changes in your physical appearance are one example. We’ve all seen someone who took the opportunity to change their appearance through cosmetic procedures too far. There is a balance, but you can begin to turn back the clock by paying attention to your teeth. Since smiles are one of the first things people notice about others, having your teeth in tip-top shape can keep you looking younger. Your Elk Grove Village cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brent A Engelberg, will explain two common dental procedures that can take years off of your appearance.
Dental Implants
What impression do you get when you see someone with missing teeth? While life can get busy and expensive, and some people put themselves as a low priority, an honest assessment of someone with missing teeth might include questions regarding just why they haven’t restored their smile. Whether you are missing one or several teeth, when your roots aren’t engaged you’ll begin to have bone density diminishment. Over time, you may end up with something called facial collapse. Your cheeks take on a sunken appearance that can make you look years older than you are. Opting for dental implants will stop this from happening, so you can maintain a full and healthy looking smile and jaw.
Teeth Whitening
You probably don’t even need to be told that teeth whitening can make you look younger. Fading, dulling, and staining are all signs of aging. When you opt for in-office teeth whitening such as Zoom! and Boost!, you are likely to end up with very noticeable, youthful results. If you’d rather whiten at home, your Elk Grove Village cosmetic dentist can fit you for customized trays and send you home with professional level bleaching gel, allowing you to whiten on your own time.
