As we get older, our bodies begin to change. Our skin loses its elasticity, our hormone levels change, and even our voices may take on a different tone. One thing that changes that you may not have considered is your smile. Though it may start to lose its shine as time goes on, cosmetic dentistry offers a solution. Read on to learn about some common aesthetic dental issues that cosmetic dentistry can correct.

#1: Discolored or Stained Teeth

Years of eating and drinking highly pigmented foods and beverages like coffee, tea, red wine, berries, and cola is a common contributor to tooth discoloration. The same goes for smoking cigarettes or using other tobacco products. Enamel, which is the protective outer layer of the tooth, also starts wearing away as we age.
