Various cosmetic issues can make you look years older than your true age, like discoloration or worn teeth. No matter the concern, you can look decades younger without plastic surgery. Here are 5 ways you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentexgroup.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">turn back the clock<\/a> with the help of a cosmetic dentist.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Reverse Tooth Stains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although teeth come in many shades and tones naturally, 57% of adults are embarrassed by tooth discoloration. Teeth can discolor over time from poor oral hygiene, smoking, and many other factors. Professional teeth whitening can restore a youthful smile by getting your enamel up to 8 shades brighter. You&#8217;ll enjoy long-lasting results with the right aftercare, like brushing and flossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Replace Metal Restorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Metal restorations stick out like a sore thumb and instantly alert people of your age. Modern crowns are made of ceramic materials to look like real teeth. Your dentist can replace your old crown with a ceramic restoration that will match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth. Only a trained dental professional will know it is there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Fix Chipped or Damaged Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cosmetic dental bonding is a great option for correcting minor issues, like cavities, chips, and fractures. A composite resin is shaded to the color of your enamel to look like part of your tooth. The minimally invasive treatment can provide dramatic results in 30-90 minutes, depending on how many teeth you&#8217;re treating. Cosmetic bonding offers both aesthetic and restorative benefits, so it may be covered under your dental insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Replace Your Missing Teeth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teeth are supposed to last for a lifetime, but 120 million adults have lost at least one tooth. Although tooth loss can happen at any age, it is often associated with being elderly. Researchers have found that replacing missing teeth can take 10 years off your appearance. You have more options than ever before to treat tooth loss, including dental implants. They replace the entire tooth structure and have over a 95% success rate for lasting for 30 years or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Invest in Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can transform your smile with porcelain veneers. Bonding veneers to the teeth that show when you smile can address multiple imperfections at once, like chips, stains, and gaps. The minimally invasive procedure provides natural-looking results that can last for a decade or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A youthful, attractive smile offers priceless benefits, like improved confidence and an enhanced professional image. You can look and feel your best by investing in cosmetic dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Karina Aloian<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentexgroup.com\/karina-aloian-dmd.html\">Dr. Aloian<\/a> earned her dental degree at the Midwestern University in Glendale and has continued her education in cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, and laser dentistry.
