A Remarkable Asset: Your 40–65 Year Old Smile

ARE YOU A BABY BOOMER? IT’S JUST PLAIN COOL. Why? Lots of reasons. For one, never before in the history of mankind have people had a better chance of keeping THEIR OWN healthy, natural teeth for their entire lifetime! Remarkable technology and advanced materials, when combined with the artistic eyes and skills of Dr. Puig and her team help make that possible.

Making decisions about dental treatments isn’t easy. The decisions themselves are always YOURS to make. We just want to be sure you have good information.

“The Lifetime of Your Smile” can be thought of in four phases:

• 1–20 Year Old Smiles
• 20–40 Year Old Smiles
• 40–65 Year Old Smiles
• 65+ Year Old Smiles

Must Do’s, Should Do’s, and the Could Do’s.

We prioritize decision making through “must do’s,” “should do’s,” and “could do’s.” Everyone has different priorities, wants and needs. Think of this post as a starting point for deciding the things you want to do with your own smile! And if you have questions, contact us and we’ll visit.

Let’s Talk About 40–65 Year Old Smiles

THE BEST PART OF LIFE IS ONLY BEGINNING! And don’t forget the crucial role proper dental care plays in your overall health and appearance. Exercise, eat well, enjoy yourself along the way, and flash your gorgeous smile more often!

A Couple Must Do’s

• It’s estimated that up to 3/4 of adults over age 35 have some degree of gum disease. Work with Dr. Puig, and/or our team members to be sure you don’t.
• 63% of boomers with an oral health problem considered to be an indication of a more serious problem, are unaware of the connection. Don’t skip routine check ups!

A Couple Should Do’s

• You may have silver mercury amalgam fillings, placed long ago when you were a teenager. Not only are they unsightly and can damage tooth structure, but some believe they may present other disadvantages. Work with us to systematically replace them over time with durable, greatly-improved, white composite fillings.
• The best half of your life lies ahead. Didn’t you remodel your bathroom after a few decades? It’s time to remodel your smile! Our team here at Dr. Puig’s practice provides “upgrades” that will help you to keep your teeth for rest of your life.

A Couple Could Do’s

• Well beyond botox, breast implants, and viagra… Nothing makes you look AND feel YOUNGER than a beautiful smile. It’s a fact. Today’s whitening treatments—often combined with one of many porcelain veneer options—can create a personal smile makeover that is truly your “fountain of youth.” Talk to Dr. Puig.
