LOS ANGELES and BEVERY HILLS - Jan. 4, 2007 Fashion and beautiful smiles go hand-in-hand with personal health, financial ability and education. Yet many people believe a beautiful smile only includes their visible teeth. However, missing back teeth can change your entire facial structure.
In reality, any missing teeth will have a major impact on your overall health and the aesthetics of your smile. In addition, lips and cheeks tend to sag over time. Teeth naturally wear down and the elasticity of the lips begins to deteriorate. Thus, your teeth become shorter and your upper lip curves in to cover the teeth.
Because Dr. Anthony Mobasser offers several of the latest cosmetic dentistry techniques, top fashion designers and people who make a living on their smile come to us from around the world.
Building up your jawbone and/or elongating the teeth will remove associated wrinkles, give you a more youthful look and create the illusion of a facelift while strengthening your bone structure.
In addition, when a tooth is removed, the bone immediately begins to resorb and the surrounding teeth begin to move. As the bone resorbs, muscle attachment is lost, potentially resulting in "saggy" appearing skin.
A dental implant will prevent movement and continue to stimulate the bone, particularly teeth that have been missing for a period of time. It prevents movement by replacing your tooth into the bone. This allows the muscle to become stronger and the bone to revitalize. As a result, your facial skin will expand and look smoother.
Porcelain veneers, which will last for years, then can be used to create a more natural effect.
If you're considering plastic surgery, consider that dental options may be a better alternative. Reshaping or replacing teeth may entirely eliminate your need for plastic surgery.
