In life, there are some things that you’re never “too old” for. For example, you’re never too old to go back to school, or to fall in love. On the other hand, you eventually may be too old for certain things, such as riding on a child-sized swing set. But as an adult, you may be wondering if you’re too old to get cosmetic dentistry. Thankfully, the answer to that is a resounding no! You are never too to improve your smile. In fact, there are many procedures that are perfect for older people that can help them look and feel younger again. Here are a few treatments that are great for adults of any age!
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain Veneers are thin porcelain shells that cover your existing teeth to make them appear whiter, brighter, and more evenly shaped and sized. They can even close minor gaps between teeth, creating a healthier and more youthful smile. If your teeth and gums are healthy, you can get veneers at any age. Best of all, veneers can last up to 15 years with proper care, and they resist staining, so that beautiful new smile will bring you long lasting confidence!
Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding uses the same composite resin material your dentist uses to repair cavities, but instead of fillings, he is using it to rebuild a worn, chipped, or damaged tooth. Composite resin acts as sort of a putty that can be molded to a desired shape to restore the look and feel of the missing portion of the damaged tooth. Repairing your worn or chipped teeth can take years off your appearance and is a great option for correcting minor damage on a budget.
ClearCorrect Aligners
If you have crooked teeth, crowding, or a bad bite, you may feel like it’s simply too late for braces, but if you have healthy teeth, ClearCorrect aligners are another excellent option for taking control of your oral health. In addition to creating a more aesthetically pleasing smile, straightening your teeth can also address many bite issues that could be causing difficulty speaking, chewing, and properly cleaning your teeth.
Remember, when it comes to your oral health, age is “nothing but a number.” Cosmetic dentistry procedures can yield beautiful, long-lasting results that will leave you looking and feeling younger, so you can smile with confidence no matter how “old” you are!
