The Dental Facelift procedure usually (but not always) involves a full mouth reconstruction and this is done by “raising the bite.” This term in dentistry is called Increasing Vertical Dimension.

By doing this and providing crowns or veneers, etc, that are slightly taller than the previously worn or damaged teeth the lower third of the face is lengthened. This in turn can eliminate the small lines at the side of your mouth giving a more youthful appearance. Over 80% of patients treated by this procedure look younger according to scientific studies.
