It is all too easy to associate cosmetic procedures with younger people.
After all, if you ever find yourself on a cosmetic treatment website, it is almost certain that the before and after pictures will involve younger people, who already have flawless skin, displaying the benefits of dermal fillers.
If you are an older person, you may feel fed up with having gaps in your teeth or wearing dentures for example, but are worried about approaching a dentist for any kind of restorative procedure. You may worry that you will be seen as too old and don’t want the embarrassment of being turned away.
At Harley Street Dental Clinic, we don’t care if you are over 60 or 70! If you have good oral health, have no health issues that may impact on the cosmetic procedures we offer and are over the age of 18, we can help you restore or achieve that winsome smile that you deserve! Our cosmetic dentist in Harley Street can help you choose the most beneficial treatment for you, so you can feel confident in your smile.
But what are some of the most popular treatments that our cosmetic dentist in Harley Street can offer to older people? Read on to find out!
Dental implants
Fed up with your dentures rubbing against your gum line?
Our cosmetic dentist in Harley Street can offer you a permanently fitted, immovable alternative that both looks like a real tooth and functions like a real tooth. Dental implants comprise of two parts; an implant (that looks like a small screw) that is drilled into your jaw and a prosthesis (a single tooth, teeth or full set of dentures) that are attached to the implant.
This provides an immovable prosthesis that can bite into and chew all food without issue and can be colour matched to any natural surrounding teeth.
Tooth whitening
As we age, our teeth accumulate stains, leaving them looking yellow or brown.
Our team can offer you a deep whitening regime, which is performed both in your own home and at our surgery in Harley Street. Using gentle oxidising gels, we remove deeply set stains from your teeth, leaving your enamel cleaner and looking healthier.
White fillings
Many older people suffer from calcium deficiencies, which can play havoc with your teeth, regardless of how often you brush them!
If you do find that your teeth are becoming more susceptible to decay, don’t fret! Our team can offer you sophisticated and natural-looking white fillings for any tooth in your mouth. This offers a discreet alternative to the traditional metal fillings and offers you a filling that has a longer life span too.
Veneers
Fed up with those chipped teeth in your mouth?
Porcelain veneers can disguise the appearance of aged teeth and can also be a fantastic way to create a more symmetrical, crack or chip-free smile. If your teeth are too sensitive for whitening, veneers offer you a painless way to whiten your teeth too! Come and see our team, we will be happy to help you.
