As we grow older, invariably we will notice the changes in our appearance. The desire to spend boisterous nights out recedes and we perhaps care a little less about the style of clothes we wear, opting for function over design. Our natural activity levels can also drop and some of us will force ourselves to go to the gym to compensate.<\/p>\n
Another side effect of ageing is that our teeth and gums can start to show signs of wear and tear. For some, long term negligence in cleaning finally catches up and fillings and even extractions are a consequence, as is gum disease. Even if we have looked after our teeth well though, our teeth are unlikely to look as nice as they used to do when we were younger.<\/p>\n
Tooth discolouration<\/strong><\/p>\n It is widely believed that discoloured teeth are caused by eating or drinking staining products, and through smoking. Whilst these certainly do have a major effect, the reality is that older people do tend to have duller looking teeth. Although surface staining may be a factor, this also occurs naturally as the inner part of our teeth darken with age, making our teeth look discoloured.<\/p>\n The good news for the more mature patient of The Dental Centre Bedford is that this can usually be reversed using relatively straightforward treatments. Our custom home teeth whitening kit<\/a> can brighten the appearance of your teeth significantly and all in the comfort of your own home. After a couple of weeks of use of this user-friendly system, you will find that your teeth have regained the sparkle that you may have thought had gone forever.<\/p>\n Badly stained teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Perhaps if you are an ex smoker and have teeth that are very badly stained, we may recommend dental veneers as an alternative to teeth whitening. This is a more complex procedure, but in the hands of our skilled Bedford dentists<\/a>, you can be sure that we will make this procedure as comfortable as possible for you.<\/p>\n The finishing touches<\/strong><\/p>\n Once you have whitened your smile to the level that you are happy with, you may wish to consider another ‘anti aging’ procedure that we offer, in the form of Botox treatment. This is a great way of smoothing out the wrinkles that appear on our face as the years pass by. In the hands of our experienced facial aesthetics team, you can be sure that the results will look entirely natural and you need not worry about some of the more extreme results that you may have seen in the media.<\/p>\n With your new whiter teeth and smoother looking skin, you should be able to look into the mirror and see a more attractive and younger version of you looking back!
