A healthy smile: the vertical dimension and a fresh smile

How do you to maintain the functional quality of teeth, respecting their natural rhythm and age?

With age, you can expect that your lips are going to drop a little, your upper teeth are going to be less visible, while lower teeth will stick out more, and we should respect that process.

However, the fact that teeth wear out over time can be fixed; by enlarging the tooth itself we can refresh the smile and make it look healthier and younger.

Oftentimes, due to the loss of posterior teeth, or to the fact that your chewing surface is being worn out, or that you have had too many fillings, teeth change in size over time.

The change of both frontal and posterior teeth negatively impacts their vertical dimension, which shortens the lower part of the face and results in the aging appearance of the nasolabial fold stretching from nose to lips, as well as wrinkles in the corners of both lips.

When the vertical dimension of the tooth is increased, the function is improved, not just the aesthetics.

The healthy maintenance of all bodily functions, while understanding and respecting the process of aging, is reflected through a healthy and vital life. This inevitably enhances the aesthetics, which is only a consequence of the overall health that you establish for yourself.

With that said, we closed the circle of beauty: a healthy smile is a beautiful smile.
