What is Your Dental Age?

Did you know that everyone has a Boise dental age? As we age, our teeth change as well, and as we get older, the more our body begins to show our age; including our teeth! Oral health tends to change over time, and many times our concerns shift from things we worried about as young adults. Fortunately, some of these changes can be slowed when proper Boise dental health care is a priority and our dentists at Summit Dental can help!

Physical Changes To Our Teeth That Can Make Us Look Older

Significant dental changes that occur with age usually include a combination of symptoms like:

  • Broken or stained Boise dental work
  • Darkening or yellowing of the teeth
  • Worn Down teeth
  • Gum recession
  • Chipped enamel
  • Tooth loss

Excessive wear, grinding, or gum disease brings about most of these changes. However, if your Boise dentist is able to catch them early in life, they can either be avoided completely or significantly limited. Not only will your Boise dentist provide you with the information and tools you need to prevent problems like these from developing or getting worse, they can provide you with the following best smile restoration procedures to help you maintain a youthful, attractive smile:

Boise Teeth Cleaning

A professional Boise teeth cleaning is a crucial part of good oral hygiene and is needed periodically to maintain the health of your teeth and gums. Even if you brush and floss regularly, a Boise teeth cleaning is necessary to help remove plaque, tartar, stains, and additional bacteria that build-up over time (usually where your toothbrush cannot reach). Scheduling a regular Boise teeth cleaning with your Boise dentist can protect you from tooth decay, tooth loss and gum disease.

Boise Teeth Whitening

As one of the most popular Boise dental procedures today, A Boise teeth whitening is not only safe and effective but comes in a variety of forms to best fit your oral health care needs. These forms can include an in-office whitening treatment, or an at-home whitening treatment, as well as the use of over-the-counter strips and gels. A Boise teeth whitening can provide a person with a dramatic change to their smile with minimal cost and time invested.

Boise Crowns and Bridges

Over time our smiles change. Teeth can get worn down, break, and shift. A Boise dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over broken teeth to restore its natural appearance and protect it from further damage. A Boise dental bridge is also another option to consider. A Boise dental bridge involves placing Boise dental crowns on both sides of your missing tooth and then inserting a replacement tooth between them. The replacement tooth is then attached to the Boise dental crown on either side to create a strong and permanent connection (or “bridge”).

Boise Dental Implants

Boise dental implants provide you with another option in tooth replacement to recreate a youthful, and attractive smile. Whether it’s a single tooth or a best smile restoration, Boise dental implants can fill that need. When a person is missing a tooth, a Boise dental implant can look and feel just like a natural tooth. It is also easier to keep clean than a traditional Boise dental bridge. Dental implants are placed directly into bone, creating a solid foundation for a natural tooth replacement.

Conclusion

Most of us want to feel and look as young as possible. Often we find ourselves going to gym, dying our hair, or trying to maintain the cosmetics of a youthful smile. Maintaining healthy teeth and gums with the help of your Boise dentist can help provide you with the smile you’ve always wanted. And as always, it’s important to maintain a regular schedule of Boise dental examinations and professional cleanings for a healthy smile that will last a lifetime.
