The Dental Face Lift
Have you noticed changes in your smile or jawline that make you feel a little less like yourself?
Are you looking for a gentle way to refresh your facial appearance and enhance your natural smile?
Discover a new-found confidence with a Restored Smile and total Facial Transformation with the ‘Lidums Dental Face Lift’
A large drive for cosmetic dental treatment and restorative transformations is the underlying desire to appear youthful. Your smile says more about you than just your dental health – your smile has the ability to retain your youth!
Many people are unaware that premature tooth loss or damage can result in accelerated facial aging – with the loss of structural support for the lips and cheeks, skin becomes gaunt and creates wrinkles and creases. Lips become thinner, the facial profile begins to elongate and eventually the nose and chin become accentuated, giving an overall ‘older’ appearance. We have had many patients who say they feel and look 10-15 years younger after their dental treatment. At Lidums Dental, we take all these aspects of facial aging into account while assessing your dental condition, in order to provide a natural and attractive new smile.

Many of our patients have been so happy with their results, they have provided permission for others who may be considering similar treatment to call them and ask them about their experience and results! This is a great way to build confidence and trust in the final outcome.

With the help of dental advancements and technology, we are able to offer a ‘try before you buy’ technique, using still photography, video, study models and mock-ups to effectively test predicted changes. This is a reassuring process we offer in order to help remove any fear or anxiety and to ensure you are completely satisfied prior to proceeding to treatment.

The Dental Face Lift FAQs
Is the Dental Face Lift the same as a surgical facelift or cosmetic injectables?
No, it’s an entirely different approach. A surgical facelift tightens skin; injectables add volume to specific areas. The Dental Face Lift works from the inside out, by restoring teeth to their correct height and position, which rebuilds the underlying structural support that the face depends on. This is why skin-deep treatments alone often can’t fully address the lower face if the teeth and bite aren’t right, the foundation isn’t there. The Dental Face Lift requires no surgery, no needles in the face, and no recovery downtime.
How do I know if the facial changes I'm seeing are caused by my teeth?
The key signs are changes concentrated in the lower third of the face: lips that have thinned or turned inward, deeper lines around the mouth and chin, a jaw that appears to have shortened, or a feeling that your face looks “collapsed” when you’re not smiling. These changes often accelerate after tooth loss or years of wear, and they don’t respond well to skincare or fillers because the underlying cause is structural. During your Comprehensive Smile Analysis, Dr Lidums assesses whether your facial changes are driven by dental factors and what degree of improvement is achievable.
Will the result look natural, or will it be obvious I've had dental work done?
When planned correctly, the result should look like a better, younger version of you, not like an obvious dental procedure. Because the Comprehensive Smile Analysis takes into account your lips, facial features, skin tone, age, and personality alongside your teeth, the outcome is designed to be harmonious rather than dramatic. Many patients find that people notice they look refreshed or well-rested without being able to identify exactly why.
Is there any downtime, and what does recovery look like?
There is no surgical downtime. Treatment is carried out across dental appointments, and most patients continue normal daily activities throughout. During the treatment phase, temporary restorations are worn while the final work is being crafted, and these may require a brief adjustment period. Once final restorations are placed, most patients adapt quickly. Any sensitivity or adjustment discomfort is typically minor and short-lived.
How is the Dental Face Lift different from a standard smile makeover?
A smile makeover primarily addresses the appearance of teeth, colour, shape, alignment. The Dental Face Lift goes further by specifically targeting the vertical dimension of the face: how much support the teeth provide to the lips, cheeks, and lower facial structure. It’s indicated when tooth wear or loss has caused the face to change beyond what cosmetic tooth improvements alone can address. In many cases the two overlap, a Dental Face Lift will also improve the smile, but the treatment planning starts from a different, more structural place.
How long do the results last, and what ongoing care is needed?
The restorations used in a Dental Face Lift, typically crowns, veneers, and in some cases implants, are designed for long-term durability, often 15 years or more with proper care. The facial support they provide is not dependent on ongoing maintenance the way injectable treatments are. Regular dental check-ups, good hygiene habits, and a night guard if you grind your teeth are the key factors in protecting the result. Dr Lidums will give you a clear maintenance plan at the end of treatment so nothing is left to guesswork.
