According to new data released by the Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), facelifts are making a comeback, while soft-tissue fillers (used primarily for lip augmentation) ranked second on the list of minimally invasive cosmetic procedures. Here’s something you might not have known: A smile makeover can also result in plumper lips, elevated cheeks, and fewer fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.

Stunned by the dental secrets that may cause you to reconsider fillers
If you’ve considered getting injectables, a visit to your dentist first might change your mind. From ‘dental face lifts’ to the one treatment that improves everyone’s appearance, here’s why putting teeth first could pay off.
How do teeth help to improve the appearance of your lips, skin, and face in the same way that fillers, injectables, and other aesthetic treatments do?
The teeth and jaw serve as the ‘frame’ or scaffolding of our faces. You can look at someone’s upper half of the face and not necessarily tell how old they are, but the lower third of the face can be the most telling of age. As a result, dentistry and aesthetic dermatology work best when approached holistically – you may believe that you “need” fillers, but dental treatment may be more appropriate, effective, and produce the most natural-looking result.”
Clearly, cosmetic dental treatments can be as expensive and time-consuming as aesthetic treatments, but according to experts, turning to your dentist before an aesthetic specialist or surgeon can not only help you achieve the kind of lift and plumpness that cosmetic facial procedures promise, but the end-result can also be more long-lasting and subtle, and even help to preserve the health of your teeth. Here are a few dental adjustments and treatments that can make a significant difference in addressing visible signs of ageing.

Everyone should think about one treatment
If I were to suggest one dental treatment to lift the face it would be braces. This may sound old-fashioned but hear me out. Just as our collagen levels deplete in our skin as we get older, so our teeth begin to collapse inwards, which ‘shrinks’ our mouth and results in a loss of volume in the lower face.
Braces are fantastic for addressing this by widening the smile while also straightening teeth, adding structure and support to your mouth, and reducing the appearance of sagging. Another benefit is that the results are permanent.”
If you’re worried about looking like ‘Ugly Betty’ while wearing braces, don’t be; dental technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. Invisalign invisible braces are now among the most popular treatments in my practise because they are unobtrusive and barely noticeable to others while achieving impressive results over time.”
If you don’t want to bother with braces or Invisalign, Porcelain Veneer will do the trick.

What causes a face to appear youthful?
A youthful face is full of collagen, giving the skin a smooth, hydrated appearance.
However, it is not only the quality of the skin that is important; what is beneath the skin, the supporting scaffolding, is also important.
Jaw bones are one of the most common parts of your facial skeleton to change over time. When you lose many of your back teeth, your jaw bone gradually shrinks, giving you an aged, ‘squashed’ appearance.
The cheeks recede inwards, the lips constrict, and the chin becomes more prominent.
What has actually happened is that the distance between the bottom of the nose and the bottom of the chin has been reduced, causing your facial balance to be thrown off.
Teeth do not have to be completely missing to give an aged appearance. Teeth that have been worn down by grinding or that have been severely dissolved away due to acid erosion cannot properly support the cheeks or lips.
Some people don’t notice these changes because they happen gradually, while others’ self-esteem suffers as a result.
Your Mouth Influences Your Facial Appearance
Your mouth is an important feature of your facial appearance not only because your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, but also because it serves as the foundation for your facial appearance. Your teeth, skull, and jaw all grow together when your facial appearance is first developing.
They should ideally form a harmonious structure that gives you the best facial appearance. However, as you get older, your teeth can become worn, lost, or shift out of place. Not only will your smile change, but so will your facial shape and proportion.
The misnomer of being “long in the tooth”
Long in the tooth is idiomatically associated with old age, but in dental terms, the opposite is true.
Longer teeth appear more youthful – apparently, 11mm is the’sweet spot,’ but it all depends on the natural shape and size of your teeth, as well as your bone structure. Aesthetic treatments such as veneers and bonding can be used to artificially lengthen teeth, and teeth whitening can also be very effective in making teeth appear longer and more pronounced in the face. Because the skin between your nose and top lip descends with age due to collagen loss, it’s common to be unable to see your top teeth when you talk or smile; therefore, lengthening the teeth and making top teeth more visible helps to reverse this somewhat.
It is not only your front teeth that can become less visible as you age. Back teeth can move inwards over time, and many people have a narrow arch shape. When we look at the smile from the front, there is a “black corridor” because the back teeth are not visible. You can widen the smile by reshaping the arch with straightening or veneers, which then supports the cheeks and gives a much fuller smile.
We dubs treatments such as this as ‘the dental facelift’, as straightening teeth can help to support the cheeks and deliver an overall lifting effect that never looks ‘fake’. Straightening procedures can take over a year to complete in complex cases and cost thousands of dollars, and while the effects of teeth whitening can be immediate, it’s critical to seek treatment from an experienced, highly trained, and licenced dental professional.

Gums in their youth
Just as bonding and veneers can give the appearance of’more teeth,”more gums’ give the appearance of a healthier, younger-looking mouth.
Keeping our gums strong and healthy as we age is critical because our gums hold our teeth in place and prevent bacteria from growing in our mouth, all of which contributes to the cosmetic impact of teeth. Our gums shrink as we age, so some recession is normal, and some people are genetically predisposed to gum recession, but there are things you can do to slow down the process and even stop gum shrinkage.
To thoroughly clean teeth and avoid some of the scrubbing that can occur with manual brushing, I recommend using an electric toothbrush. Make certain that your technique is efficient and gentle. It’s also critical not to overbrush – you don’t have to brush your teeth after every meal (twice a day is ideal). Consider it like skincare: if you scrub your face too hard and wash it too frequently, it will become dry and more prone to damage and fine lines. In terms of gum recession, the same is true for teeth. For skin, a morning wash followed by a double cleanse at the end of the day will suffice, and brushing twice a day is ideal for maintaining optimal tooth and gum health. Flossing once a day is also essential for maintaining ‘young gums.
Why porcelain veneers are superior to fillers and facelifts
In 2016, over 130,000 facelifts were performed, a 4% increase over 2015. Facelifts are procedures used to improve the appearance of the face and neck by reducing sagging, drooping, and wrinkling. Simply put, people want a younger-looking face. According to a CNN report on the ASPS statistics, fewer patients are requesting procedures to remove excess skin. Patients prefer something that uses fillers to plump up their skin.
Did you know that porcelain veneers can enhance a person’s lips? While veneers and Lumineers are as thin as contact lenses (though far more durable), they are meticulously placed on top of a patient’s natural teeth and bonded in place to create a stunning cosmetic dentistry enhancement. By default, this procedure causes lips to plump out slightly. While the pout may not be as dramatic as Kim Kardashian’s, it will be far more natural and last longer. Fillers must be refreshed over time, unlike porcelain veneers, which can last for decades if properly cared for.
Replace missing teeth to give yourself a more youthful appearance
Have you ever noticed celebrities who have had botched facelifts or overdosed on fillers? You have, of course. You probably know Priscilla Presley, Daryl Hannah, Mickey Rourke, and Meg Ryan off the top of your head. People sometimes overdo cosmetic procedures in an attempt to fight ageing and maintain their youthful appearance, but we believe that ageing gracefully is possible.
If your teeth are ageing you, solutions are available and, in many cases, painless. A smile makeover can completely transform your face while still leaving you looking completely natural – just a better version of yourself with no plastics involved.
For example, if you have jowls, drooping cheeks, or a compressed appearance, the first question is: Are any teeth missing? A missing tooth or teeth alters the shape of your face by changing the bulk of your jawbone and, as a result, the shape of your jawline. Missing teeth can drastically alter your appearance, making you appear much older than you are.
What is the solution? There are three in total:
- Dental implants: Dental implants are one of the most effective methods of replacing missing teeth. They are secured in your jawbone. They remain in place indefinitely while stimulating and preserving your jawbone. Dental implants prevent your jaw from sagging due to missing teeth and roots.
- Dentures: We understand that if you’re trying to look younger, the last thing you want to do is wear dentures and deal with adhesives. Modern dentures can be combined with dental implants for a secure and natural appearance (so you don’t feel old or have to take your teeth out every night).
- Porcelain fixed dental bridges: Bridges close gaps by attaching a porcelain tooth to hidden clasps that are then secured to the teeth on either side (both of which sport a porcelain crown). Bridges cannot be removed once they have been installed.
A smile makeover can help you look younger. - If your face is beginning to show signs of ageing, use the to revitalise your appearance.
How dentistry can make your lips look fuller
If lip fillers or a lip lift appeal to you, there are dentistry alternatives that may look less ‘done’ while also improving the health of your teeth over time.
So, how do veneers compare to plumping lip treatments?
Our teeth, like our skin, thin with age, allowing our lips to move inwards. Because the lip has a supportive structure behind it, adding volume to the outer surface of the teeth allows it to lift naturally. This can result in plumper-looking lips—I’d say it can increase the appearance of fullness by 25% on average, and it looks natural, so additional lip filler may be unnecessary. The slight elevation of the lips can also help to soften fine lines around the mouth.
That covers the potential cosmetic benefits, but veneers can provide additional benefits in terms of wear and tear:
Veneers are essentially a method of laminating the teeth, which can be especially beneficial as you get older because it protects the enamel from eroding. While enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, you cannot reverse this ageing process because your body cannot reproduce enamel, so veneers serve as a substitute for your natural enamel.
Veneers are sculpted to your teeth and can help with staining or crookedness, but any veneers you get must match the colour and shape of the rest of your teeth.
If veneers are out of your price range or are not right for you, consider composite bonding as an alternative. It is a one-step procedure in which a bonding material is painted onto teeth and hardened with a high-frequency light before being polished and smoothed. The treatment, like porcelain veneers, can address everything from tooth colour to shape, but it is less durable and more prone to chipping and staining. Composite bonding can last for up to five years.
Dental facelift
The Dental Face Lift is a non-surgical procedure that replaces entire teeth or missing enamel that has accumulated over time.
The lower face regains its youthful verticality by rebuilding the teeth to their original dimensions.
When necessary, new dentures can be made that will provide better support and upright ‘down turned’ lips.
Dental facelifts can subtly give a fresh faced look and younger looking teeth giving you something to really smile about.
How to Get a Dental Facelift Without Plastic Surgery
It may seem strange, but you can now have a dental facelift without having to undergo surgery. Some dentists today use techniques that not only improve your bite and smile but can also remove years from your appearance. Some claim that this technique is a very effective and non-surgical way to reduce the signs of ageing on the face, such as wrinkles and sagging skin. Tooth restoration is frequently included as part of a dental facelift.
To be clear, as we age, our dental structures begin to deteriorate, and if our teeth become worn or missing, our faces shrink and take on a sunken-in appearance. A dental face lift smoothes out wrinkles and gives a person’s jawline a more pronounced and even appearance. Dental treatments and dental appliances can help you look more polished and youthful. If you’re looking for a dentist who can fix my teeth, a cosmetic dentist can assist you. A tooth restoration procedure can help you look younger.
A plastic retainer is used in some dental practises to strengthen a person’s facial muscles. This procedure causes the jaw to rest in a higher position, making the patient appear younger. Patients who use this retainer wear it for several months until their facial muscles strengthen, at which point they will have dental crowns placed on all of their teeth to increase the height of their jaw.
Remember that a dental facelift is more than just cosmetic dentistry. A dental facelift not only improves the appearance of your teeth and smile, but it also improves your profile, jaw line, chin position, and face shape. Furthermore, in some cases, it can improve your health, especially if your teeth are not in proper alignment and it affects your chewing and eating.
What exactly is a nonsurgical facelift?
If you are dissatisfied with your sagging facial tissues, you may be considering facelift surgery. Surgical facelifts can help you look younger by cutting, stretching, and repositioning your facial tissues. The issue with facelift surgery is that your facial tissues are simply reacting to changes in your mouth and jaw, which help shape your face.
A non-surgical facelift from a dentist is often the best way to rejuvenate your appearance by restoring those underlying structures so that your teeth and bones are back in the position they once occupied. We can help you achieve a more youthful facial appearance by restoring a more youthful dental structure with Cosmetic & Comprehensive Dentistry. This is described in detail below, but the best way to learn if it is right for you is to get an evaluation by a dentist.
Is a Non-Surgical Facelift Right for Me?
Non-surgical facelift dental services concentrate on restoring your smile so that sunken or hollow areas can be corrected naturally rather than by pulling or cutting the skin with a surgical facelift. Missing teeth, teeth that have worn down over time, TMJ issues, uncorrected bite issues, and other issues can be addressed. It’s incredible how the underlying jaw structure, once aligned and supported by full teeth and prostheses, can naturally restore fullness to the face.
What Are the Advantages of Non-Surgical Facelifting?
A surgical facelift is frequently used to correct sunken cheeks, depressed areas around the mouth, hanging jowls, and other signs of ageing. However, surgical facelifts necessitate a lengthy recovery period as well as the risks associated with major invasive surgery. Furthermore, we’ve all seen cases of botched surgical facelifts, in which the patient’s face appears stretched and taut.
What if you could achieve many of the same facial rejuvenation benefits by using dental techniques like crown placement, replacing lost teeth with implants or bridges, adjusting misaligned jaws, or straightening teeth? This is what a non-surgical facelift can accomplish.
- Many wrinkles and sunken areas disappear when teeth are restored because they have support behind them in the dental structure.
Teeth restoration helps to lengthen the face, making it less round and flattened.
The jawline is enhanced when the jaw is properly positioned. This can be used to correct a “weak” chin caused by an overbite or an underbite.All of this is possible by restoring various aspects of your dental health and structure. Isn’t that a more natural way to achieve a younger-looking face?
How Non-Surgical Facelifts Function
Non-surgical facelifts improve your facial appearance by restoring your teeth and mouth to their former state. When you lose teeth, your face shortens and becomes more flattened and round. Sunken cheeks and lips are possible. Typical dentures may not be much help because they do not stay in place to fill the role that your missing teeth played. Dentures that are properly fitted, on the other hand, can restore your facial appearance.
Even if you haven’t lost any teeth, chipped, cracked, or crooked teeth can cause your jaw to shift. An injury or a concussive jolt can also cause your jaw to move out of place. Poorly positioned jaws can give the appearance of a receding chin(which can make your nose look large) or crooked jaw.
How does a non-surgical facelift work?
Depending on the patient, these can be a variety of treatments. Your facial structure and oral structure are inextricably linked. As a result, problems like a misaligned jaw or worn teeth can have an effect on your facial appearance, making you appear older.
During your consultation or treatment, we will examine you to determine what issues are causing problems. There may be several treatment options. These are some of the options.
Is it painful to have a non-surgical facelift?
These procedures are not painful because of modern local anaesthesia. There may be some soreness afterwards, but it is easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Are Non-Surgical Facelifts Risky?
These are dental procedures that have been done thousands of times over the years. They are secure. Common dental procedures include crown placement and dental implant placement. When compared to the risks associated with a surgical facelift, which include everything from a reaction to general anaesthesia to poor wound healing, there is no comparison to the natural results provided by a non-surgical dental facelift.
How long does it take to recover from a non-surgical facelift?
It is not difficult to recover from these cosmetic dentistry procedures, TMJ treatment, possible orthodontics, and other treatments associated with a non-surgical facelift. Most procedures leave little to no pain behind. They do not require any downtime.
Is non-surgical facelifting covered by insurance?
Some of these treatments may be covered by your dental insurance, while others may not. It depends on whether your insurance company considers the procedure cosmetic rather than structural or necessary. We work with your insurance company to ensure that you have the most coverage possible.
Smile Rejuvenation Advantages for a Non-surgical Dental Facelift
Facelift surgery does not improve your facial proportions. Instead, plastic surgeons will treat you as if you have “excess” skin on your face. They trim away the excess and stretch your skin until it fits snugly over your shortened bones and teeth. This can significantly alter your facial appearance, and you may no longer resemble yourself. However, by restoring your natural proportions with your teeth, we can rejuvenate your face. You’ll look like yourself, only younger.
In addition, you can avoid problems related to surgical facelifts, such as:
- Pain
- Bleeding
- Bruising
- Scarring
- Long recovery time
- Missed work
- Surgical complications
You can rejuvenate your facial appearance with a smile makeover without any of these issues or risks. While a facelift may require up to a month of recovery, your smile makeover will only require you to miss one day of work.
You’ll also have a bright, beautiful smile again, which will make you appear younger.
