How Can You Look 10 Years Younger?


Keeping your natural teeth can give you a more youthful smile. There is a “hidden” reason to keep all of your teeth. Tooth loss often leads to bone loss…which can add 10 years to your appearance!

Don’t Let This Happen

If a tooth is no longer solidly attached within the jawbone, the bone that the tooth sat in will begin to melt away. Once the process of bone loss starts, there is nothing, short of dental implants or a bone graft that you can do about it.

Atoffice, we want to help you preserve EVERY tooth for a lifetime.

Tooth Loss and Aging

As we age, our face changes related to loss of muscle tone. Tooth loss can actually accelerate facial aging.

The best example of this is people who have lost all of their teeth. When this happens the distance between their nose & lips shorten and the chin moves close to the tip of the nose.

These facial changes give the face a collapse appearance, making it appear much older than their “real” age.

No one wants to look a decade older than they are—especially when you can prevent or slow down the process.
