- "Rejuvenation Dentistry"
- By: PATRICIA WOLOCH
By Judith Sloan-WASHINGTON, DC-Time was, when the "Face Lift" was the iconic symbol of the ultimate makeover. Having skin redraped and tucked around the face was the ideal antidote for the aging face. But now, "Rejuvenation Dentistry" is just as commonplace. In fact, many patients arrive at our office determined to upgrade their smile--as "Step No. 1" on the journey to a newer, younger self."No matter how youthful my skin looks, or how youthful my body looks - I know I can't look young if my smile looks old!" said a patient recently on the day she received her 10 new veneers. "As a matter of fact, I think that a younger, healthier smile--by itself--can do more for an aging face than just a face lift."
This point of view is not unusual, especially among today’s aging boomers. This generation is well-informed when it comes to what it takes to retain a youthful appearance. “Our patients are not accepting the aging process, when it comes to their teeth,” says Dr. Daniel J. Deutsch, at the Washington Center for Dentistry, in Washington, DC. “Unlike in the past, patients get to a certain point, and they know that we can literally turn back the clock, when it comes to their smile.”
Dr. Deutsch says that all it takes are well-crafted, all-porcelain veneers or crowns, a little gum reshaping, perhaps a bit of bleaching - and - there you have it: A younger smile!
