A smile makeover isn’t just for younger patients or celebrities—it’s for anyone who wants to feel confident, comfortable, and proud of their smile, including seniors. At Salo Manhattan Beach, we see many patients later in life who want to restore or enhance their smiles, not just for cosmetic reasons, but for better function and long-term oral health.If you’re wondering whether a smile makeover makes sense at this stage in life, here’s what you should know.

Aging naturally affects your teeth. Over time, enamel wears down, teeth shift, and old dental work may start to fail. You may also notice:

• Staining or discoloration
• Worn or chipped teeth
• Gum recession
• Missing teeth
• Ill-fitting dentures or outdated restorations

A smile makeover can address these issues, often combining treatments like veneers, crowns, implants, bonding, and teeth whitening to create a result that feels natural and works well with your overall oral health.

While the term “makeover” sounds purely aesthetic, the benefits go far beyond appearance. A customized treatment plan can:

• Improve bite alignment and chewing comfort
• Restore proper function and prevent future dental issues
• Replace missing or damaged teeth with long-lasting solutions
• Support facial structure and reduce signs of aging in the lower face
• Boost self-confidence and overall well-being

We approach every case with your full health in mind—not just your smile.

Advancements in dental technology allow us to provide comfortable, efficient treatment even for complex needs. For example, digital imaging helps us design precise, conservative restorations. Dental implants can replace missing teeth without the discomfort of traditional dentures. Laser technology supports gentle gum treatments and cosmetic refinements.

You don’t have to settle for outdated solutions or compromise on comfort.

At Salo Manhattan Beach, we take a highly personalized approach to smile makeovers. Age is never a barrier to achieving a better smile—what matters most is your oral health, your goals, and your vision for how you want to feel when you look in the mirror. Whether you're planning ahead, redoing previous dental work, or simply want to enjoy a brighter, stronger smile, we're here to make it happen with care, clarity, and precision.
