Aging has its perks… wisdom, more confidence, self-reliance. Yet, aging can show up in our face in ways we may not see as positive.
Before looking into a facelift or fillers, consider how your smile can influence facial appearance. Here are ways to let your smile give you a more youthful appearance:
• Smile often. Even a soft smile can create a more-youthful look. When you smile, facial muscles are pulled upward. This softens those “marionette” lines on either side of the mouth. Smiling will also smooth out fine lines around the lips. 
• Let your smile be a happy one. Studies have shown that the act of smiling causes the brain to release endorphins, the chemicals associated with happiness. Let your smile pick up your mood and reflect a happier you overall.
• Keep your lips moist. Well-lubricated lips look smoother and more youthful. Use lip balm often and drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying well-hydrated is good for the entire body, too.
• Replace missing teeth with dental implants. When natural tooth roots are removed, the jaw bone begins to shrink (known as “resorption”). This can lead to the formation of jowls, deep wrinkles around the mouth, and corners of the mouth that turn downward even when smiling. Dental implants halt bone loss by recreating the presence of tooth roots. They restore a natural look, feel and stability. Implants are are designed to last a lifetime, making them an excellent investment.
