However, your smile \u2013 which, according to the\nAmerican Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, is what nearly half of adults will\nremember most when meeting you for the first time \u2013 is one of the most\nnoticeable areas that can add a few perceived years to your face.&nbsp; Learn more about how your teeth affect your apparent\nage \u2013 and how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vollersmiles.com\/veneers.html\">porcelain veneers<\/a> in Kittanning might be the solution you need\nto keep your pearly whites looking beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do Your Teeth Add to Your Age?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you chew your food or grind your teeth at night, your\nteeth will start to wear down. Shortened teeth causes the lips to sage inward,\nwhich makes your overall facial structure look like it\u2019s collapsed. (This issue\nonly becomes worse as the lips lose their elasticity as you become older.)\nFurthermore, older teeth are more brittle and are prone to chips and cracks\nthat can draw unwanted attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also notice your smile starting to look more yellow\nor gray. This is because enamel becomes thinner and stained as time goes on;\nalso, the innermost layer of pulp will shrink, causing the tooth to look\ndarkened. You can correct some discoloration with teeth whitening, but sooner\nor later age will catch up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can Porcelain Veneers Help You Look Younger?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to make several cosmetic corrections at once,\nporcelain veneers are often your best bet. Veneers are thin covers that bond to\nthe front of the tooth and cover it completely. This is an excellent way to\ncover discolored, worn down, broken, misaligned, irregularly shaped or\nimproperly spaced teeth. In other words, with one procedure you can reverse\nmany of the negative effects of aging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of other advantages of using porcelain\nveneers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>They can be shaded to match your other teeth, creating\na natural appearance; people you meet for the first time won\u2019t even realize\nyou\u2019ve had dental work done!<\/li><li>Porcelain is much more stain resistant than\ntooth enamel. <\/li><li>You won\u2019t need to undergo an extensive shaping\nprocedure like you would for a dental crown. <\/li><li>With proper care (which is as simple as brushing\nand flossing as your normally would in addition to regular dental checkups),\nporcelain veneers can last up to 15 years.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear in mind that not everyone is a candidate for porcelain\nveneers; if you grind your teeth or suffer from gum disease, these issues need\nto be addressed before you can get a cosmetic treatment. If you\u2019re interested\nin creating a more youthful smile, schedule a consultation with your cosmetic\ndentist in Kittanning; they\u2019ll help you find the best path to your goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Voller is a sustaining member of the American Academy of\nCosmetic Dentistry; he enjoys any opportunity to give his patients healthy,\nbeautiful smiles.
