Many people think about cosmetic surgeons when dermal fillers are brought up, but dentists also use these materials to address various dental issues. These fillers can be used to improve the way the structures around your mouth, like your chin, jaw, and lips, look. They help to get rid of signs of aging that build up around the mouth like fine lines.
The three essential things a person’s skin needs to remain wrinkle-free, supple, and firm are hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin. Collagen is one of the major building blocks that maintain the structure of a person’s skin. It works alongside elastin to give skin the elastic properties that allow it to return to its original position when stretched. Hyaluronic acid helps to trap water under the skin, adding volume and keeping it hydrated. Unfortunately, the body creates less collagen and elastin as a person grows older, leading to signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, and the loss of elasticity.
Muscles also need collagen to maintain them, and they tend to lose definition and volume as collagen production decreases. This leads to many of the facial structure changes associated with aging. A dermal filler contains hyaluronic acid, and it can be used to restore definition and volume to a patient’s face.
Some of the popular ways dermal fillers are used in dentistry include:
Dermal fillers give you a safe way to fight the effects of aging and improve the appearance of your facial structures. It uses hyaluronic acid – a substance naturally found in the body – to increase the fullness and definition of the muscles on your face.
