For one, you might have noticed that your smile has changed a little bit as you\u2019ve gotten older. Your teeth might have become discolored, or you might have become a little bit \u201clong in the tooth\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of ways that you can handle these issues\u2014here are just a few examples to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teeth Whitening For Seniors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For one, it\u2019s common for people to start to see their smile become discolored as they get a bit older. That typically has to do with the thinning of the enamel on the surface of the tooth, exposing the darker layer of the tooth underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it isn\u2019t possible to regrow enamel, you can use teeth whitening to remove any surface stains and brighten your smile substantially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Direct Bonding For Seniors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re someone who has collected a few chips and cracks over the years, you\u2019d be happy to hear that direct bonding can address those issues within a single appointment. Your dentist can layer a composite resin onto the surface of the tooth and use a specialized light to harden it into place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In doing so, they can cover up all kinds of damage and can completely change the appearance of your smile. With this in mind, you should have no problem repairing any cosmetic damage you may have done to your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Veneers For Seniors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re unhappy with the color, shape, size, or other appearance of your smile, veneers could be just the thing for you. You can use small slivers of porcelain to cover up the smile, giving you the smile you\u2019ve always wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Bob Heil is a dentist with over 20 years of experience in his field, and he loves nothing more than being able to offer his patients the benefits of his immense expertise.
