If you find yourself grappling with the various physical changes that accompany aging, rest assured, you\u2019re not the only one. It\u2019s perfectly normal to feel disheartened by aesthetic changes that seem to have taken over without your consent. The process affects your body in numerous ways, and your teeth are no exception. Even if you diligently adhere to your dental hygiene routine and visit your dentist regularly, your smile will eventually start to bear the marks of the years it has weathered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, your provider can provide one or several cosmetic services<\/a> to address your concerns and turn back the clock. Continue reading to learn more about 3 ways that aging impacts your grin and how your dentist can help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Procedure #1: Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may have enjoyed a naturally sparkling smile in your youth. Ideally, brushing and flossing twice daily throughout your life would keep it looking just as pristine later on, but unfortunately, that\u2019s usually not the case. Years of being exposed to pigmented ingredients in darker foods and drinks like coffee, tea, wine, and berries can leave your teeth tinted yellow or brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve tried over-the-counter whitening kits that didn\u2019t get the results you were hoping for, you\u2019re in luck! Your dentist can provide a take-home kit that uses professional-grade gels like Opalescence, which isn\u2019t typically available in stores. They\u2019ll also include trays that are customized to fit your teeth like a glove for an optimal outcome. It\u2019s the ideal way to lighten your grin from the comfort of your own home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Procedure #2: Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that your teeth are not naturally pure white? The outermost layer of enamel has a bluish-white hue that gives them their pearly presence, but the underlying layer of dentin is more yellow. As you get older, your enamel starts to thin, so the underlying shade shines through. This can give your grin a tinted tone that\u2019s less than appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whitening services won\u2019t rebuild this protective outer layer, but you can mask such natural discoloration with porcelain veneers. These thin yet durable ceramic shells are customized to match your teeth and then bonded to the front surface. By hiding aesthetic imperfections, your dentist can give you a younger-looking smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Procedure #3: Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We tend to think of our teeth as immovable structures in our mouths, but the truth is that they are held in place by connective tissues with a natural capacity for movement. Even those lucky individuals who never had to worry about overcrowding when they were younger may notice that their teeth have shifted out of alignment over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You probably don\u2019t want to deal with bulky metal brackets (or the associated dietary restrictions) in your golden years. Fortunately, your dentist can shift them into their ideal placements more discretely with Invisalign. This alternative orthodontic treatment relies on clear plastic trays that fit snuggly over your teeth to gently reposition them. They\u2019re less visibly intrusive but can still give you the evenly spaced grin you remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
