An aging appearance is not always about sunspots, wrinkles on your face and neck or one’s posture.  If your teeth have a yellowish or brownish hue, you could actually look ten years older.

However, if you have a healthy, bright and white smile, you will look much younger and vibrant. The following are a few anti-aging cosmetic dentistry procedures that can be performed by Dr. Ryne Johnson at Newton Prosthodontics:

1.  Dental Veneers
You look several years older than you actually are, if your teeth are crooked and misshaped.
 
If the tooth structure is lost, your smile will appear ‘older’. The shape of your lips may also be transformed, and so will the entire lower structure of your face. With dental veneers, you can look even up to 10-15 years younger. The veneers are made of porcelain and they are meant to transform the shape and color of your teeth.

Dr. Johnson, a Prosthodontist with advanced training in cosmetic procedures, who is truly an expert in what he does, can re-build the shape of your teeth with the dental veneers, he may also make those fine wrinkles around your mouth disappear.

2. Professional teeth whitening
Even if your teeth are healthy in essence, they might lose their bright and white structure if you are used to drinking coffee and tea every day.

There are several teeth whitening kits that you can use at home, but nothing compares to a professional teeth whitening procedure at our office. Your teeth can become even 5 to 6 shades lighter after one hour of professional treatment.
 
3. The dermal fillers …done best by plastic surgeons
There are experts who can make those naso-labial folds disappear with the help of dermal fillers.
 
After the application of the veneers is done, some use the dermal filer in order to smooth out the appearance of your skin between your lips and nose.
 
This way, your skin will look smooth and healthy, and this will being forward even more your beautiful teeth and smile.

In short, you can look and feel your best if your smile projects confidence and youthful beauty.  A visit to the dentist can offer predictable and incredible improvements in one’s overall appearance.
