Given what you see online these days, cosmetic dental work<\/a> can seem like a young person’s game. It’s pretty easy to think seniors have “aged out” of beautifying smile care; only the youthful qualify. Even so, the truth is nearly the opposite: you\u2019re never too old for cosmetic dentistry! Whether you\u2019re in your 70s, 80s, or even 90s, your Market Heights dentist can still make your grin gorgeous. For more details on why that\u2019s the case, just read over the summary below. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

No Upper Age Limit for Cosmetic Dentistry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whatever gossip you might\u2019ve heard, cosmetic dentistry doesn\u2019t have an upper age limit. The field just requires that a patient have (relatively) good physical and oral health before treatment. As long as you meet this criterion, dentists can enhance your smile regardless of your age. <\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there\u2019s any real wrinkle, it\u2019s that seniors have a higher risk of pre-existing oral issues. Such problems range from cavities and gum disease to outright tooth loss and more. Older patients are thus more likely to need other procedures before they can get cosmetic work. Otherwise, their dental problems could ruin their aesthetic treatment results and force them to \u201cre-do\u201d a procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Cosmetic Treatments Suit Seniors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, many cosmetic dental options can benefit seniors. Some of the most notable of these are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Veneers require a bit of \u201cprep work,\u201d but treated teeth must only be cavity-free; old age won\u2019t disrupt the treatment. The only thing an elderly patient should note is that their smile may feel a tad sensitive after placement. They should still be fine, though; any post-procedure sensitivity will fade within days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental Bonding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dental bonding is a very non-invasive service, so it\u2019s well-suited for seniors. It simply applies non-toxic, tooth-colored resin to hide stains, chips, cracks, and more. The treatment is thus harmless, without any harmful or age-related side effects. You could undergo the bonding process even in your twilight years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teeth Whitening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s done in-office or at home, teeth whitening is fine for older adults. The procedure\u2019s bleaching gel is always adjusted to suit the patient, and it lacks any toxicity. That means the whitening process would safely whiten anyone\u2019s grin by six to eight shades, regardless of their age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re truly never too old for cosmetic dentistry. That being the case, try to see your dental provider soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
