When considering esthetic dentistry to help improve the appearance of your smile, considering dermal fillers is a good idea. Dermal fillers are used to help treat fat and collagen loss that naturally occurs as people age. Adding dermal fillers can help restore a youthful and full appearance to your smile, which can provide a boost in confidence.
As people naturally age, their body loses the ability to maintain fat storage, and collagen production is reduced. This can alter the appearance of the smile and increase signs of aging, such as fine lines or tissue sagging. Dermal fillers are used to help restore the appearance of the smile and can be a quick and safe alternative to other cosmetic procedures.
Dermal fillers work by injecting a solution into the targeted areas. They use hyaluronic acid to help trap water. Increased water retention can help to improve the hydration and appearance of the smile. Additionally, collagen is used in dermal fillers to give the targeted cells the ability to maintain their elasticity and reduce sagging. By combining hyaluronic acid and collagen, patients get both benefits that result in an improved smile.
Dermal fillers are used for a variety of different issues in esthetic dentistry. While the overall goal is to improve the appearance of your smile, there are also other certain situations in which one should consider a dermal filler.
Marionette lines are also called frown lines. These are right next to the set of lines on your face that connect the nose and mouth. As people age, a loss of water and collagen can increase these lines or deepen existing marionette lines. Adding a dermal filler treatment in this area can restore hydration and reduce their appearance.
Patients who suffer from thin or sagging lips may also be candidates for dermal fillers. As people age, the lips can also suffer from losses of water and collagen. Lips that may once have been full can begin to appear thin or less voluminous. When dermal fillers are applied to the lips, they can help to restore both volume and firmness to the lips and surrounding tissues.
While the previous examples can help with some of the external features of your smile, dermal fillers can also be used to help fill small gaps in the teeth. Gum tissues can also be subject to a loss of collagen and water. In these instances, patients may find that a once small gap between their teeth, appears to get larger. Untreated, these gaps can continue to grow. The application of dermal fillers to the gums can help restore the volume to the gum tissue and eliminate the gap.
Dermal fillers can help anyone regain an appealing smile and improve confidence. To get started, it is recommended that an appointment with a professional be made. Any unanswered questions or concerns can be appropriately addressed.
