From there, the program moves through a clear, structured protocol:
1. Examination Phase — Evaluating facial balance, tooth wear, gum health, smile display, saliva quality, and dietary habits
2. Diagnosis Phase — Identifying specific causes of ageing
3. Smile Age Score — Assigning a measurable score to determine how aged the smile appears
4. Risk Assessment Phase — Predicting the patient’s likelihood of accelerated dental ageing
5. Tracking Phase — Monitoring changes over time with re-assessments
6. Treatment Phase — This includes non-invasive treatments like enamel repair, personalized night guards, shade correction, gum care, and when needed, clear aligner orthodontic therapy to correct bite discrepancies. When left untreated, an unbalanced bite can result in certain teeth absorbing more force, increasing localized grinding and raising the risk of gum recession in those areas.
But the real power of the program is in its continuity. Dental ageing, like natural ageing, doesn’t stop — and neither should the care. After the initial two weeks, the program shifts into a long-term maintenance protocol, just like a standard dental checkup. Patients return every six months for re-evaluation, tracking, and updates to their plan.
This is not a one-time fix — it’s a lifetime partnership. We follow the ageing process as it happens, and we control its effects to ensure the smile stays youthful, fresh, and protected for years to come.
At what age do you recommend patients start considering anti-ageing programs for their teeth?
Ideally? The late teens — around 18 or 19 years old — are the perfect time to begin. It may sound early, but this is when stress often begins to quietly show its effects. There’s a strong connection between emotional stress and dental ageing: grinding, clenching, acid reflux, dehydration — they all accelerate tooth wear and gum changes.
Starting at this phase allows us to protect the smile before the damage begins. Prevention is…
