Are your teeth big, healthy, and beautiful? Full smiles = youthful looks
Are you facing worn teeth when you look the mirror? Because our enamel erodes gradually, over a long period of time, it’s sometimes tough to notice the more significant changes.

Why Worn Teeth Age Us
Your smile is an isolated part of your appearance, but it impacts the rest of your looks in a big way. If you feel that you’re looking older than you actually are, your teeth probably have a big part to play in that. And if you don’t have glaring problems like missing teeth or large chips, worn enamel is the likely culprit behind your premature aging. Here’s why.
- Worn teeth show the passing years – When your teeth gradually erode, you end up looking like you’ve seen more time than you may actually have. Habits like grinding intensify this effect, causing early wear and tear. Without full teeth, you appear older.
- Worn teeth allow inner dentin to show through – The tooth layer below your enamel is the dentin, which is yellow in color. When the enamel thins, dentin is closer to the tooth surface, and yellows your smile. These stains add age and lessen your smile’s beauty.
- Worn teeth lessen the overall impact of your smile – Your smile relies on a balance between your teeth, gums, and the rest of your face. Without full teeth, your grin won’t make as much of an effect on those you share it with.
Don’t let your teeth negatively impact your life. Reshape them into something amazing.
