How to look younger with facial aesthetics in Colchester and more
Here at The Dental Studio, we do not just help our patients to achieve good oral health, we also offer a range of solutions that help to combat the ageing process. We appreciate that while getting older has lots of benefits, no one wants to look their age and some people struggle with the process which can decrease their confidence. This is our guide to how we can help get that youthful vigour back, using facial aesthetics in Colchester, dental implants and teeth whitening.
Facial aesthetics 
Facial aesthetics in Colchester encompass a range of treatments that we offer to help hold back the years. Anti-wrinkle or Botox injections are one of the most popular options. They work by relaxing the muscles underneath the skin’s surface to give a youthful and rejuvenated look.
Botox can be used on a wide variety of areas, but some of the most treated include the forehead, between the eyes and around the eyes. These areas are usually the ones to show the first signs of ageing, and lines there can cause a person to look tired and sometimes older than their years. Our injections can give a whole new lease of confidence by smoothing out these lines.
The results of Botox become apparent within around five days after treatment, with peak results usually occurring at around two or three weeks. This treatment lasts several months, with three to five being the average. Our patients often return for top-ups to retain their new youthful look.
Another popular option in terms of facial aesthetics in Colchester is to have dermal fillers. The fillers contain hyaluronic acid, something that is naturally present within the skin, but which can become depleted as we get older. Fillers are used to plump up the skin and give a smooth, youthful and hydrated appearance, often in areas such as the lips and the space between the lips and nose.
Dermal filler results can last a little longer than Botox injections, with some patients enjoying the benefits for up to nine months. Many choose to make repeat appointments so that they can keep ageing at bay.
Dental implants
Tooth loss can be very upsetting, and it can also cause a person to look older than their years. If they do not have missing teeth replaced, or if they use more traditional methods such as dentures, then the spaces where the roots of the teeth used to be can shrink. This causes changes to the structure of the face which can be very ageing.
Dental implants are direct replacements for the roots of missing teeth, therefore allowing the patient to keep their youthful facial structure and prevent them from developing a shrunken look.
Teeth whitening
Stained or yellow teeth can cause a person to look older than they would like. Fortunately, our professional whitening service can be used at home to create a dazzling new smile. We create tailored whitening trays that fit the teeth of the patient exactly, and which are used with a special gel to deliver excellent results.
