Opting for teeth whitening and dental veneers could help people to look ten years younger, it has been claimed.
Speaking to InStyle magazine, cosmetic dentistry expert Dr Joe Oliver said this kind of treatment is a much better alternative to a facelift and could result in a smile like that flashed by Cheryl Cole.
“You need to work on the colour of your teeth through whitening treatments and the proportions (size and shape) of individual teeth with the use of porcelain veneers,” he recommended.
Dr Oliver added that teeth whitening is a great treatment for people who are mostly happy with their look, but just want to see their teeth looking a few shades lighter.
He said it should last up to 12 months and “isn’t much of a commitment”.
Earlier this month, a survey by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry found that 74 per cent of people think an imperfect smile could hinder someone’s chances of landing a good job.
