Teeth – the Secret Youth Enhancer

-

“Smile rejuvenati­on treatments are similar to the facial aesthetic debate; it’s better not to do anything too early or you can end up looking older instead of younger,” says Cosmetic Dentist Dr Laura Fee. “A 23-yearold with white veneers can look like she’s wearing dentures, yet for a woman in her late 40s, it can make her look like she’s in her mid-thirties.” Dr Laura says those who get it right leave some natural imperfecti­ons. Jennifer Lopez’s teeth, for example, have striking character, unlike President Joe Biden, whose teeth look unnatural. “There’s only so much that teeth whitening can do, especially when the enamel wears down, as the teeth become too porous for peroxide to work effectivel­y. When cracks and yellowing worsen, this is the time to start improving things cosmetical­ly with Smile Hub, either with composite bonding or veneers.” But, says Dr Laura Fee, if you are going to do just one thing, make it clear braces. “Having straight teeth is the most youthful tweak you can make to your smile.”
