Anti-Aging Dentistry
Marlo Griesser, D.D.S.
Restoring healthy dentition and a youthful smile can take years off a person’s overall facial appearance. As a restorative dentist, Dr. Marlo Griesser finds
that patients appear older when they have been grinding or clenching their
teeth, slowly shearing away millimeters of healthy enamel. What happens is that
the teeth now appear shorter and a loss of anatomy occurs, resulting in a
sagging, wrinkled facial appearance. When smiling or speaking, it appears as
though no upper teeth are present.
To confirm this, Dr. Griesser can take a vertical dimension measurement from the
tip of the nose to the bottom of the chin. This distance decreases with an
aging face and reduced teeth. With non-surgical restorative dentistry, she
rebuilds the loss of the enamel and builds the anatomy of your teeth as it was
25 years ago using porcelain crowns or Durathin veneers. The longer teeth will
increase the vertical dimension giving a less sagging appearance around the
face and mouth, which instantly rejuvenates the smile. Also, speech and
swallowing become more clear, and chewing and stability of the jaw is improved.
In many cases headaches and neck discomfort disappear. Anti-aging dentistry is
also a powerful motivator in sexual attraction, being more competitive in the
workforce, and increasing the sense of well-being and self-esteem.
