Dr. Victoria Veytsman on Smile Makeovers and Anti-Aging

Then we have Dr. Victoria Banksman. Here she is. She's a celebrity cosmetic dentist.

Let's go back to Dr. Victoria with smiles. In what ways does a smile enhance facial aesthetics that contribute to anti aging?

In so many ways, the smile is often one of the most overlooked things when it comes to facial aesthetics. Anti aging. Often when we think about anti aging, we're thinking skin, we're thinking filler and facelifts. But the smile is really one of the few things you can do to provide structural support for the lower third of your face. With aging, the first place it shows up is the teeth. The teeth will lose volume, just like the collagen in your face. And with the things that we do with smile makeovers, we're actually looking at the entire face. How do we preserve the structure of the lower third? How do we provide scaffolding for the soft tissue once the volume of the teeth starts, Once they get shorter or we start to lose volume in the teeth, the we can get increased visibility of nasolabial folds, shortening of the lower third of the face. So it's highly connected to facial aesthetics and symmetry and keeping that golden ratio that we all know about. Nature's code to beauty. And it's one of the easiest things you could do for anti aging.
