\"An<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

One of the fastest ways to reveal your age is by the condition of your smile. In fact, sometimes your teeth can age you beyond your years. If you\u2019re tired of your grin revealing more than you\u2019d like it to, cosmetic dentistry<\/a> can help. Here are five incredible treatments that can reverse the hands of time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metal-Free Dental Restorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Metal fillings or crowns can create dark spots in your smile that reveal not just prior oral health problems, but your age, too. The great news is that today\u2019s metal-free dental restorations are not only durable and long-lasting, but they are customizable, so they blend seamlessly into your smile, making you look and feel younger when you open your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever had metal-free dental restorations, you\u2019re likely familiar with the materials used in dental bonding. This treatment can be used to rebuild broken, worn, chipped, or deeply stained teeth in just minutes, and is completely painless. Although your results only last about five years, they are completely reversible, and much more affordable than other options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gum Recontouring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you have a \u201cgummy\u201d smile or teeth that appear too small? Gum recontouring removes excess tissue that could be detracting from your smile, making your mouth appear younger. In fact, it may even have health benefits, as it may make it easier to keep your gums clean and infection free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These thin porcelain shells cover your existing teeth and can instantly improve their shape, size, color, and spacing. Although your dentist will need to remove a small amount of enamel first, your treatment will last up to 20 years and can be done in about two appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Discolored teeth are the easiest way to age your smile, and one of the easiest problems to fix. Professional whitening with Opalescence can be done right in the comfort of your own home with custom trays and whitener from your dentist. In about two weeks, you could have a whiter, brighter, younger-looking smile that\u2019s up to eight shades lighter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, although your smile could be aging you beyond your years, as long as you have a healthy mouth, there\u2019s no age limit on cosmetic dentistry, or<\/em> on a gorgeous grin. To learn more about your treatment options, schedule a consultation with your dentist today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
