Supporting Lower Jaw

The loss of facial height between the nose and the chin is a major contributor to facial aging. The answer to a more youthful face is often as simple as advanced cosmetic dentistry techniques. As we age, the lower facial height (the area between the nose and the chin) decreases due to the loss of teeth and/or the wearing down of teeth. Think of an elderly person who has lost their teeth, and you can see the difference this can make. Missing and ground down teeth result in the sucked in and collapsed appearance around the mouth, causing vertical lines on the upper and lower lips and all around the mouth. Because the support of the facial skin is lost, the entire face is effected. We use new techniques to restore worn and missing teeth, that enhance facial support, and take years off your face! More support to lower jaw, the younger you look. The teeth stretch your face from the inside to smooth and tone the face.

According to Dr. Nigel Carter, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation , dental procedures can make 80% of the patients look as much as 20 years younger without plastic surgery. A survey assessing patients who had opted for this approach revealed that 80% of patients were pleased with the results. Furthermore, an independent panel reported that 80% of patients looked between 5 and 20 years younger after receiving this treatment alternative. This technique has been used for years for TMJ treatment and related migraines, neck and back aches. During the course of the treatment, it became apparent that patient's faces appeared more youthful, with an improvement in facial symmetry and muscle tone. Improvements in the appearance of the nose, cheeks, lips and skin were also reported. Dr. Nigel Carter said" as an extra bonus patients found they got anti-aging side effects." as reported by www.bbc.co.uk on the 9th of February 2002

Nonsurgical Alternative

By Dr. Barry Nestlerode - Article Reprint from the "Arizona Republic"

As we age, creases and deep folds develop around the mouth from worn and missing teeth failing to support the facial skin.

Disappearing jaw lines, receding chins, baggy cheeks, wrinkles and loss of lower facial definition can be improved with newer dental treatments. Lines and wrinkles of the face are reduced by restoring missing and worn down teeth with crowns, bridges and veneers. Designing a procedure to provide new support for the face when restoring worn and damaged teeth greatly improves facial definition while diminishing lines and wrinkles.

Missing and worn teeth allow the jaw to overclose and slide back into the skull, which results in a collapsed appearance to the lower half of the face. As teeth wear the jaw continues to slide back, the facial skin is pulled back and the face looks even more collapsed and aged. Loss of tooth structure is one of the key factors to facial aging.

Proper design when rebuilding and replacing missing teeth will provide optimum support for facial profile enhancement. Wider smiles are created which provide additional support for fuller lips.

These treatments can also be very effective for TMJ treatment, head and neck pain, non surgical treatment for patients with overbites and those considering cheek or chin implants. Proper design when restoring the biting surfaces of the teeth enables the position of the jaw to be altered, allowing many problems to be corrected in the office that previously required extensive and expensive surgery.

We provide an alternative to improve your smile and rejuvenating your face. If you have been considering cosmetic dentistry or plastic surgery, we may have another option for you.
