Can cosmetic dentistry reverse the signs of ageing?

Ageing is a natural part of the cycle of life and, being the most highly visible part of our human bodies, it is the facial area that first shows symptoms of this unavoidable process. The loss of muscle tone leads to the appearance of wrinkles and skin becomes dull and dry due to moisture loss. These are not the only common visible signs of advancing age -another easily discernible sign that confirms this effect are mature looking teeth.

Treatments available for a more youthful look

Patients, who are dissatisfied with how their teeth look and who believe this makes them appear older than they feel, can speak to one of our dental practitioners for appropriate treatment solutions to their concerns.

  1. Stained or discoloured teeth

As the body ages, teeth become darker in appearance, even if you have been meticulous in your oral health routine. This darker appearance is a result of the inner layers of the tooth darkening. Generally there are two treatment solutions that are recommended to brighten teeth: teeth whitening procedures and dental veneers (in the case of severe discolouration). Teeth whitening procedures carried out by a dentist are regarded as the safest and most effective method. Visit our payment plan web page for more information on dental veneers or any other of our affordable services  cosmetic dentistry in Harley Street.

  1. Uneven and misaligned teeth

Teeth can become mobile if missing teeth aren’t replaced, causing them to appear uneven or misaligned. From traditional fixed braces to clear and invisible aligners such as Invisalign, we can help a patient fix misalignment issues. For missing teeth, we offer tooth implant procedures that are quite effective in producing desired results.

  1. Missing teeth

There are many reasons for a patient losing a tooth or two. These reasons range from a facial injury knocking a tooth out, tooth decay due to improper care, to advanced stages of gum disease (periodontist). Dental procedures such as tooth implants and the availability of dental tools such as bridges and dentures are common methods used to solve the issue of missing teeth. We can suggest the most appropriate treatment plan according to your needs.
