A beautiful smile knows no age. As we grow older, our teeth can face wear and tear, discoloration, and other challenges that might make us feel less confident about our smiles. But here’s the good news: with advancements in cosmetic dentistry, enhancing your smile is easier and more accessible than ever, no matter your stage of life!
At Luna Dental in NW Calgary, we believe everyone deserves a smile they love. That’s why we’re proud to offer cosmetic dentistry services designed with your comfort and confidence in mind.
Why Seniors Consider Cosmetic Dentistry
As we age, our teeth naturally change. Years of enjoying coffee, tea, or red wine might leave stains; fillings or crowns may need updating, and minor chips or cracks can appear. For seniors, addressing these concerns isn’t just about appearance—it’s about boosting self-esteem and improving oral health.
Common reasons seniors seek cosmetic dentistry include:
- To feel more confident in social situations.
- To restore function for better eating and speaking.
- To improve oral health by addressing underlying issues like damaged teeth.
Cosmetic Dentistry Options for Seniors
Cosmetic dentistry is not one-size-fits-all. It’s a tailored approach to meet your unique needs and goals. At Luna Dental in NW Calgary, here are some of the most popular treatments seniors can benefit from:
1. Suresmile Aligners
Alignment isn’t just for younger patients. Suresmile clear aligners offer a discreet and effective way to straighten teeth at any age. Whether addressing crowding, gaps, or bite issues, aligners can enhance both appearance and function.
2. Teeth Whitening
Years of enjoying your favourite foods and drinks can lead to discoloration. Professional teeth whitening can rejuvenate your smile, leaving it brighter and more youthful.
3. Dental Veneers
Veneers are thin shells bonded to the front of your teeth, correcting discoloration, minor chips, or gaps. They provide a natural, long-lasting transformation.
4. Gum Contouring
Uneven or excessive gum tissue can impact your smile’s symmetry. Gum contouring reshapes your gum line, creating a balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
5. Dental Crowns
Aging dental work or weakened teeth can benefit from crowns, which restore strength and appearance. Crowns are functional and aesthetic, making them an ideal solution for seniors.
6. Botox Treatment
Our cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about teeth. Botox can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and face, complementing your smile transformation. It can also address conditions like TMJ pain or bruxism, offering both aesthetic and functional benefits. Learn more about Botox treatments here.
7. Dental Implants
Missing teeth don’t just affect appearance; they can impact overall oral health. Dental implants provide a permanent, natural-looking solution to restore your smile’s function and aesthetics.
Confident Smiles at Any Stage of Life
