When looking in the mirror over a period of decades, it is virtually impossible to detect the wearing down of the teeth. Worn down teeth can contribute to a subtle, but significant breakdown in the entire facial form and structure – producing an aged appearance. Shortening of the lower third of the face and a shift from an ovoid face to a squarer look is a common result of a worn or “over-closed” bite. Deep creases around the mouth or a chin that seems to be changing over time are common conditions caused by worn down teeth. And of course, worn teeth tend to get chipped, darken and get shorter over time. Luckily with modern neuromuscular and cosmetic dentistry techniques, it is now possible to reverse the effects of time and restore one's teeth to their original condition. We like to call it “an instant Face-lift.” And with that restoration, often comes a return to the former, youthful facial shape. Such a restoration can change a person's life and attitude and certainly improve the quality of our survival as we live longer.
