While many people worry about wrinkles or grey hair, some forget that their smile can also make them look older than their age. In fact, treatments like teeth whitening can actually take years off your face without the need for expensive plastic surgery. Here, the dentists at Legacy Dental Arts in Eagle River, AK, share a few procedures you can do to achieve a more youthful appearance. 

3 Dental Techniques for a Younger Look

1. Veneers

If you chronically grind your teeth, they can become worn over time. This can add years to your appearance. Veneers can be fitted over the existing teeth to provide an improved shape and fix any discoloration. If nighttime teeth grinding is an issue, the dentist may also recommend a night guard.

2. Teeth Whitening

If you’re worried about a dull-looking smile, a teeth whitening treatment can brighten your smile. Dental stains can occur because of certain beverages, like coffee or red wine, or smoking. As a result, you’ll be left with a mouthful of discolored teeth. The dentist can whiten your teeth to the desired shade using a specialized bleaching solution, which will restore their youthful luster.

3. Replacement of Metal Fillings

While metal fillings are safe and effective, many people don’t like the way they look. In this case, replace the fillings with another material. This will drastically improve the appearance of your teeth. Resin composite fillings can match the exact hue of your teeth, which will make them less noticeable when you smile.
