The Aging Smile
The aging face can be appealing face if the smile is attractive and healthy looking. But dentistry's role in helping create more attractive and youthful smiles with aesthetic appeal is not very well understood and definitely underrated. Billions of dollars are spent each year for both services and products to help make people look younger and more attractive. Countless persons have had facelifts and other corrective facial surgery. But no matter what you do to your face, if the smile that goes with it reveals worn, dark, mission, chipped, fractured and misshapen teeth, the youthfulness that the plastic surgeon created is instantly diminished. More dentists are recognizing the importance of aesthetics to their patients as more people become aware that a new face can reshape their life. And the smile is one of the most important parts of that new face.
