Let’s be honest, who doesn’t wish that they could look a few years younger? As we get older, we start to notice some signs of our aging – your skin starts to wrinkle, you see more gray hair, and your bones get a little bit stiffer. For the most part, there’s not much that we can do to fight the effects of time on our body, and there’s no fountain of youth to give us our teenage knees again. However, there are some cosmetic dental procedures that can give you some years back on your face and leave you looking younger and refreshed. Here are three cosmetic dental procedures that can help you look younger, all offered by the Wilmington Smile Design Center:
Teeth whitening
Just as your hair starts to gray as we get older, our teeth start to become less white over the years. Teeth darken naturally as we age because they absorb the colors from the food and drinks that we consume, but they also yellow naturally on their own. This means that regardless of how well you take care of your teeth, they will become yellow over time.

Veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are attached to your teeth and are a great way to enhance your smile and make yourself look a few years younger. Veneers work especially well for patients with gaps in their teeth, stained or discolored teeth, or cracked, chipped, or broken teeth. The best part about porcelain veneers is that they can be customized for each patient, giving you the power to transform your smile however you’d like.

Dental Implants
For some patients, simple cosmetic procedures like whitening or alignment aren’t enough to get them to where they’d like to be and they need something more. Maybe you’re missing a tooth, or maybe you need to have a few removed and have implants put in their place. If that’s the case, the Wilmington Smile Design Center is here to help with our start-of-the-art approach to dental implants. Our dental implants can not only help you look and feel younger, but they can also help improve your speech, make it easier to eat food, reduce overall pain, and promote better dental health in general.
