How to make your smile look more youthful
Normally, when we think of ageing, we focus on wrinkles and grey hair, but did you know your smile can age too?
As the years go by, teeth naturally change. They might become worn, stained, uneven or even shift position slightly. And just like a great haircut or glowing skin, a vibrant smile can take years off your appearance.
But good news! There are plenty of ways to improve your smile without going overboard. At The Practice in West End, Brisbane, we love helping people feel confident in their smile. Here’s how we do it.
Brighten your teeth with professional teeth whitening
Over time, things like coffee, wine, tea and other eating habits can cause discolouration and dullness. Yes, supermarket whitening strips can make small improvements, but they’re no match for professional whitening treatments at a dentist.
At The Practice, we offer in-chair and take-home whitening options that are safe and effective.
Smooth out chips and reshape uneven edges
Worn, chipped or uneven teeth are common as we age. Little imperfections can make your smile look older, especially around the front teeth. But small cosmetic adjustments can make a big difference.
We use treatments like composite bonding to smooth out edges, fix chips and reshape teeth – quick, affordable, and can often be done in just one visit.
Teeth straightening
Your teeth can move as you get older, even if you had braces as a kid. Crowding, gaps or changes in your bite can all happen with age. Today’s clear aligners are discreet, comfortable, and designed for adults who want a straighter smile without the hassle of traditional braces. Our Brisbane dentists will help you figure out if aligners are right for you and design a treatment plan that works.
Replace missing or damaged teeth
When you have teeth that are missing or damaged, your smile is greatly affected, not to mention your confidence. If you’ve been putting off replacing a tooth or fixing an old crown, now’s the time to do it.
Here at The Practice, we offer natural-looking crowns and bridges and implants to restore your smile and confidence. These restorations match your other teeth, so no one will know they’re not natural.
Refresh your gums too
Your gums age too. Receding gums can make teeth look longer and aged, while inflammation or discolouration around the gumline can ruin the look of an otherwise healthy smile.
We’ll check the health of your gums at every visit to our West End dental clinic, and if there are signs of gum recession or disease, we can treat it early.
Routine dental care
There’s no “anti-ageing” trick better than looking after your smile with regular check-ups and cleans. When you visit the dentist regularly, they have the opportunity to spot small issues early, before they become bigger problems.
A professional clean also removes hardened plaque (tartar) and surface stains, leaving your teeth looking brighter and healthier instantly.
Brisbane cosmetic dentistry
A youthful smile isn’t about looking “perfect”, instead it’s about feeling confident when you laugh, smile or pose for a photo. For some people, that might mean a full cosmetic dentistry makeover. For others, it’s small changes that make a big difference.
Our team at The Practice is here to help you feel good about your smile at any age. We’ll listen to your goals, talk through your options, and create a treatment plan that suits your lifestyle and budget.
