How long does it last?

With proper care, results are long-lasting. Restorative treatments like crowns and veneers typically last 10–15 years or more.

Most treatments are minimally invasive, discomfort is typically mild.

Facelift Dentistry

Q: Is this the same as a surgical facelift?

It is different. Facelift Dentistry is completely non-surgical. It rejuvenates your appearance by restoring teeth and bite support, not by cutting or lifting skin.

Q: Will it change how I look?

Yes — but in a natural way. Patients often look refreshed, less tired, and more youthful. The changes enhance your natural features rather than altering them.

When teeth wear down or go missing, your face can change — not just your smile.

Facelift Dentistry restores the support your teeth once provided, helping to bring back a more balanced, youthful appearance without surgery.

Facial aging isn’t always caused by time alone

Most people assume facial changes are inevitable — sagging skin, a shorter lower face, a squarer jaw. But often, the cause isn't skin at all. It's teeth.

When back teeth are lost or worn down, your bite gradually collapses. The jaw closes up, the chin drifts closer to the nose, and the facial muscles lose the support they once had. The result: a face that looks older — and a bite that no longer functions as it should.

If you've noticed these changes — or you're struggling to chew comfortably — Facelift Dentistry addresses the root cause, not just the symptoms.

What is Facelift Dentistry?

Facelift Dentistry — sometimes called full mouth rehabilitation or bite reconstruction — focuses on rebuilding worn or missing teeth to restore the vertical dimension your face has lost over time.

By recreating the height and support your teeth once provided, we restore the foundation that facial muscles rely on. The result is a more balanced, natural appearance — and a bite that functions properly again.

This isn't cosmetic dentistry in the traditional sense. It's structural — addressing the underlying cause of facial change rather than masking its effects.

What's involved

Treatments combined for Facelift Dentistry

Facelift Dentistry isn't a single procedure — it's a tailored combination of treatments designed to restore both structure and appearance.

Bite Reconstruction

Analysing and adjusting your bite to restore proper vertical height. This may involve repositioning the jaw relationship using diagnostic splints before any permanent work begins.

Restorative Work

Rebuilding worn, broken, or missing teeth using crowns, veneers, bridges, or implants — restoring the height and support your face has lost.

Aesthetic Refinement

Once structure is restored, we refine appearance — whitening, contouring, or shade matching to ensure everything looks natural and cohesive.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as a surgical facelift?

No — completely different. Facelift Dentistry is non-surgical.

It rejuvenates your appearance by restoring the teeth and bite support that your face has lost, not by cutting or lifting skin.

Who is this for?

Typically patients who've experienced significant tooth wear, tooth loss, or bite collapse — often noticed as a shorter lower face, squarer jaw, or difficulty chewing.

It's most common in patients over 40, though wear can happen earlier depending on habits like grinding.

How long does treatment take?

It depends on complexity. Simple cases may take a few months; comprehensive reconstructions can span six to twelve months. We'll map out a clear timeline during consultation.

Will it change how I look?

Yes — but naturally. Patients often look refreshed, less tired, and more balanced.

The goal is to restore what time and wear have taken, not to create an artificial look.

How long do results last?

With proper care, results are long-lasting. Crowns and veneers typically last 10–15 years or more.

The structural benefits — improved bite, better chewing — are permanent as long as the restorations are maintained.

Does it hurt?

Most treatments are minimally invasive, and discomfort is typically mild. We use local anaesthesia as needed and can discuss sedation options for anxious patients.
