As you get older, it\u2019s not uncommon for your smile to look a little lackluster. With time, your teeth can become stained, discolored, or worn down. But while these may be signs of a life well lived, that doesn\u2019t mean you have to simply accept them. If you\u2019re unhappy with the appearance of your teeth but aren\u2019t sure if there\u2019s a such thing as being \u201ctoo old\u201d for cosmetic dentistry<\/a>, fear not. There\u2019s no time limit on having a beautiful smile. In fact, here are a few common procedures that you might want to try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

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

Have you ever wanted to change the color or shape of your teeth while protecting them from new stains? Veneers can help. Veneers are thin porcelain shells that fit over your teeth to make them appear whiter and even slightly change their shape. Veneers are stain resistant, so you can go back to enjoying that coffee, red wine, or chocolate you\u2019ve been craving, and they last up to 20 years with regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers can usually be applied in two appointments: one to remove a small layer of tooth enamel and take impressions and another to attach them.  Plus, there\u2019s no downtime following your procedure, so you can get right back to life as soon as you\u2019re ready!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic bonding can do some things that veneers can\u2019t. This procedure is less expensive than veneers, but it can cover stains, reshape teeth, and even repair chips and seal gaps. Bonding uses a resin composite to sculpt a replacement for damaged or stained enamel. It can be done in one appointment and is totally painless, requiring no recovery time after your procedure. Caring for cosmetic bonding is easy, too. Just brush, floss, and visit the dentist regularly like you would for your natural teeth, and you can expect your bonding to last between five to ten years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Do you still have old metal fillings doing their part to keep your teeth safe from cavities? Those dark restorations could be adding unwanted years to your smile. If you\u2019re ready to lighten up a bit, resin composite fillings can help. These restorations can be matched to your natural tooth color and feel just like \u201creal\u201d enamel, too. Nobody will know you\u2019ve got fillings unless you tell them; in fact, you might even forget you have them yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, you\u2019re never too old for a beautiful healthy smile. If you\u2019re looking for a way to take a few years off your appearance, these three popular cosmetic dentistry procedures can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
