What’s the best choice? What will last the longest? What will give you the most bang for your buck? A consultation with your cosmetic and restorative dentist is the best place to begin so you can have a professional really tell you what’s going on with your teeth. In some cases, several types of treatments are viable options. Here are some of the most versatile solutions you’ll find.
Addressing the Unique Dental Needs of Baby Boomers
Life expectancy is far better than it used to be. We’re living about three decades longer than previous generations – and that means we want our teeth to stick around for the long haul too. It used to be that when people reached a certain age they resigned themselves to a future of dentures. While some people do use dentures successfully – and this option has come a long way in recent years as a smile solution – there are other cosmetic dentistry and restorative dentistry solutions that are permanent and just as life-changing, making those extra years you have to live far more fun and carefree.
