Summerlin, Las Vegas, and Henderson Nevada
Most of the time when someone wants their face to look younger, they automatically assume that plastic surgery or injectable fillers are the only way to go. However, your Summerlin cosmetic dentist offers smile rejuvenation that can turn back time, making you look years younger! Premier Las Vegas area cosmetic dentist, Dr. Matthew Wilson, has a keen eye for identifying ways to craft an attractive, yet functional smile.
Inspire Dental of Summerlin wants you to know how Dr. Wilson can make you look years younger with smile rejuvenation.
What is smile rejuvenation?
Smile rejuvenation addresses all aesthetic and functional concerns with your teeth, and can makeover your smile by using a combination of procedures. Essentially, it is a smile makeover that improves the aesthetic concerns, while also focusing on any oral health issues or jaw or tooth pain that you may be experiencing.
Here are some examples of how smile rejuvenation in Summerlin can help you:
Damaged or Missing Teeth
One of the noticeable signs that you may be a good candidate for smile rejuvenation is that your teeth are worn down, broken, missing, or otherwise damaged. Years of neglect, or even simply the natural aging process can take a toll on our teeth, leaving them less than desirable, which can affect their function and your self-confidence. Sometimes, other factors such as TMJ disorder or bruxism can cause your teeth to become worn down or damaged. If you neglect your teeth long enough, your smile will look collapsed and sunken in, causing premature signs of aging.
TMJ Symptoms
Worn down teeth sometimes is a sign of TMJ disorder. Also, it can indicate a case of bruxism, which occurs when you clench and grind your teeth, usually while sleeping. Additional strain and stress of the jaw muscles when TMJ disorder or bruxism is present can cause your bite to become misaligned, which causes unusual wear on teeth. It is the same idea as to when your vehicle’s tires are unbalanced; the tires begin to wear in an unusual pattern, wearing them out quicker.
If you experience the following symptoms, your worn teeth may be a result of TMJ Disorder, and a cosmetic dentist in Summerlin such as Dr. Wilson can help you.
- Jaw popping or clicking noises
- Jaw pain
- Headaches
- Ear pain or stuffiness
- Difficulty chewing or opening jaw very wide
In some cases, these TMJ issues can be corrected with smile rejuvenation. Plus, the cosmetic procedures that help to stabilize your bite will also provide you with a gorgeous new smile.
Wrinkles around the Mouth
As teeth become worn, the bite collapses, which leads to wrinkles around the mouth. Also, fine lines and wrinkles such as jowls, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines may develop as a result of worn teeth. A smile rejuvenation will help expand your bite to the proper height, which in turn will reduce the signs of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and chin.
Round Face and Profile Changes
A collapsed bite can make a face look more circular, instead of oval. When the worn or damaged teeth are reconstructed using cosmetic dental procedures, the correct bite alignment is reestablished, lengthening the face and providing an elongated and attractive appearance. Also, smile rejuvenation corrects a recessed chin that has resulted from worn teeth. This can help eliminate or diminish the look of “turkey neck” or sagging neck skin.
