Options are Available to Improve an Aging Smile

Are you at the point in life where most everything still works, but there’s just no denying that you’re getting a little older? Maybe you hear your joints creak, and you’ve started wearing glasses to read. Your hairstylist suggests new ways to cover the gray…

The same thing happens with your teeth–they simply aren’t as young as they used to be. Teeth naturally change as we age, meandering and crowding each other. Their color darkens over the years, and they sometimes suffer a chip or a gap along the way.

Fight back! We can help with simple cosmetic dentistry options. And there’s a long list of repairs and enhancements we can make today!

What we can do:

For transforming color and repairing minor imperfections, we offer whitening, bonding, and porcelain veneers.

  • Bonding is a quick and easy way to repair chipped or discolored teeth, it can both build up lost tooth structure and provide teeth with the natural appearance of a glossy translucent sheen.
  • Veneers are like a complete makeover for your teeth. These thin, very strong facings fit over natural teeth to hide a multitude of imperfections. Veneers can brighten the shine, cover chips, and contour your teeth. Crooked teeth can become straight, and crowding can be relieved.

If you wear dentures or are thinking about getting them, know that denture technology is more natural, functional, and comfortable than ever! If you’ve worn dentures for years, be sure to alert us to any discomfort before it causes you real trouble, your denture may need to be relined.

Wherever you are on your personal timeline, the health and beauty of your teeth, mouth, and gums can be improved, even revived. We have choices. Just ask!
