Your smile will begin to show your years, but you don\u2019t\nneed to let it quite yet. With modern dental technology, there are numerous\nways that you can expand the youth of your smile and keep it looking healthy.\nAfter all, you should be confident when it comes showing off your pearly\nwhites. Read on to learn about some of the cosmetic problems that can occur as\nyou get older and what you can do to combat them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Dental Problems Occur as You Age?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you become older, you are more likely to face a variety\nof oral health issues. Here are a handful of them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Fragile teeth:<\/strong> Teeth become more brittle\nas time goes on, so you will be more likely to end up with chips and cracks.<\/li><li><strong>Worn teeth:<\/strong> Eating several time a day for\nmany years will eventually wear down the enamel of your teeth.<\/li><li><strong>Crooked teeth:<\/strong> Your teeth can shift over\ntime, especially if you have experienced gum recession or other oral health\nissues.<\/li><li><strong>Discoloration:<\/strong> The enamel wears away over\ntime. This will reveal more of the yellow dentin beneath.<\/li><li><strong>Staining:<\/strong> When you consume pigmented\nbeverages, like coffee and red wine, your teeth will begin to show it. Using\ntobacco products can also cause yellowing.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can Cosmetic Dentistry Help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just because your smile has started showing its age doesn\u2019t\nmean that it needs to stay that way. There are numerous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunnydentallancaster.com\/cosmetic-dentistry.html\">cosmetic\noptions<\/a> out there to help you achieve your smile goals. Here are just a few\nof them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Dental veneers:<\/strong> These thin shells of\nporcelain are placed on the front surface of the teeth to mask imperfections. This\nincludes anything from discoloration to small gaps. If you are looking for a smile\nmakeover, this could be the solution!<\/li><li><strong>Direct bonding:<\/strong> If you have minor\nimperfections in your smile, like small chips, gaps, or stains, these can often\neasily be repaired with dental bonding. This can be completed in a single\nappointment and is very affordable.<\/li><li><strong>Metal-free dental crowns:<\/strong> When a tooth has\nbeen damaged from an injury or tooth decay, a crown is an excellent option for\nrestoring the tooth\u2019s strength and function while also protecting it. However,\nif your crown is silver or gold, it won\u2019t be subtle. By opting for a porcelain,\nmetal-free dental crown, you can have a more natural appearance.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your teeth don\u2019t need to show your age. Talk to your dental\nteam about your options so you can work towards a smile that you are proud to\nshow off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Sunny Dental, there is a team of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sunnydentallancaster.com\/meet-our-dentists.html\">five skilled\ndentists<\/a> providing quality care to patients in the Lancaster area.
