We don't associate loss of tooth structure with the aging we see in the mirror but we should.
Our teeth gradually change shape throughout adulthood. Our cheeks and lips are supported by the teeth and jaw, so their size and shape will have an impact on the overall shape of the face.
Teeth, especially those in the back, get flatter and shorter from chewing, grinding, and clenching. Shorter teeth mean a shorter face. The lower jaw is squished into the upper jaw. The smile becomes narrower, offering less support to the cheeks and skin. The result is an aging look.
Through our cosmetic dentistry, tooth height and position is corrected and pearly white colors are restored. Do our veneers make you look younger? You be the judge.
Brandon had peg laterals which means that genetically he had sharp teeth and a malocclusion which is to say his teeth didn't fit together like they should. Because of the stress Brandon had to deal with professionally, he developed bruxism (teeth grinding) and wore his teeth down to that of a 60 year old man. He was a point in his life where he was experiencing change and wanted to address the problems that he had.
We approached his smile holistically. We extended the length of his teeth to their proper length and adjusted their position. Even if he continues to grind his teeth from stress, they are now more protected because they fit nicely.
Brandon has always been confident but he reports he smiles more and his associates, friends, and family have all commented on a positive shift in attitude.
