Q1. What is anti-aging dentistry?

Anti-aging dentistry is a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation that focuses on
the lower third of the face, where the teeth, gums, lips, and surrounding
musculature have the greatest visual impact on how old or young a person
appears. It combines cosmetic dental treatments such as porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, teeth contouring, dental bonding, and smile makeovers with facial esthetic procedures including therapeutic Botox for fine lines and muscle relaxation, dermal fillers for lip volume and nasolabial fold reduction, and gum recontouring with soft tissue laser. The result is a rejuvenated lower face that looks naturally younger, more
vibrant, and more proportional. Unlike plastic surgery, anti-aging dentistry
requires no incisions, no general anesthesia, no extended downtime, and
produces results that can be maintained and refreshed over time with minimal
ongoing commitment.

Q2. How does your smile age over time?

The aging process affects your smile in several ways that accumulate gradually
over decades. Teeth naturally darken as the white enamel layer thins and the
yellowish dentin underneath becomes more visible. The biting edges of front
teeth wear down from decades of chewing, grinding, and daily use, making the
teeth appear shorter and flatter. Micro-fractures and chips develop from
cumulative stress, creating irregularities in the smile line. The gums
recede, exposing more of the root surface and making teeth appear longer and
less uniform. Existing dental work such as fillings
and crowns may discolor or show margins over time. The lips thin and lose volume,
reducing the amount of tooth that shows when you speak and smile. And the
muscles around the mouth develop vertical lip lines, marionette lines, and
deepened nasolabial folds. Together, these changes make the lower face look
older, more tired, and less expressive. Anti-aging dentistry at Summerlin
Dental Solutions addresses every one of these changes in a coordinated plan.

Q3. What anti-aging dental treatments does Summerlin Dental
Solutions offer?

Dr. Cohan offers a comprehensive menu of anti-aging treatments that can be used
individually or combined for maximum rejuvenation. Dental treatments include porcelain veneers to restore tooth length, brightness, and proportion, professional teeth whitening to reverse years of staining, teeth contouring to reshape worn or chipped edges, dental bonding for minor chips and gaps, dental crowns
to rebuild severely worn or damaged teeth, laser gum recontouring to correct
recession and create a balanced gum line, dental implants to replace missingteeth that cause facial collapse, and comprehensive smile makeovers that combine multiple treatments. Facial esthetic treatments include Botox for fine lines, crow’s feet, and lip lines, dermal fillers for lip volume, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines, and masseter
Botox for jaw slimming and teeth grinding relief. Dr. Cohan designs each anti-aging plan around the patient’s specific concerns and goals.

Q4. Why should I get Botox and fillers from my dentist
instead of a med spa?

This is one of the most important questions patients can ask, and the answer comes
down to anatomy. Dentists receive more training in the anatomy of the head,
face, jaw, and oral structures than virtually any other healthcare
professional. Dr. Cohan’s dental education at the State University of New
York at Buffalo included extensive study of the facial muscles, nerves, blood
vessels, and skeletal structures that are directly involved in injectable
placement. Her membership in the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE)
adds specialized training in therapeutic and cosmetic injectable techniques
for the facial region. Unlike many med spa practitioners who may have
completed a weekend certification course, Dr. Cohan understands the
three-dimensional anatomy of the face at a level that allows her to place
Botox and fillers with surgical precision, minimize risk of complications,
and achieve natural-looking results that enhance rather than distort facial
expression. Additionally, because she is treating the teeth and the face
together, she can coordinate dental rejuvenation with facial esthetics in a
single, unified plan rather than having two separate providers working
independently.

Q5. How can porcelain veneers make me look younger?

Porcelain veneers are one of the most powerful anti-aging tools in cosmetic dentistry
because they address multiple signs of aging simultaneously. Veneers
restore the original length of teeth that have worn down over decades,
creating the youthful proportion between tooth length and lip position that
characterizes a young smile. They brighten the smile by several shades,
reversing the yellowing and graying that accumulate over time. They repair
chips, cracks, and irregularities that make the smile line look aged and
worn. They create a smooth, even smile arc that follows the curvature of the
lower lip, a feature that naturally diminishes with age. And by restoring
tooth visibility and proportion, veneers effectively ‘lift’ the lower face,
providing structural support to the lips and cheeks that can reduce the
appearance of fine lines and sagging. Patients who combine veneers with teeth contouring and lip filler frequently tell Dr. Cohan that friends
assume they had a facelift. The anti-aging effect is that dramatic.

Q6. What is therapeutic Botox and how does a dentist use
it?

Therapeutic Botox involves injecting small amounts of botulinum toxin into specific
facial muscles to temporarily reduce their activity, smoothing the wrinkles
and lines that form from repetitive muscle contractions. Dr. Cohan uses Botox
in the anti-aging dentistry context to smooth vertical lip lines (smoker’s
lines) that form around the mouth from years of lip movement, reduce crow’s
feet at the corners of the eyes, soften horizontal forehead lines and the
vertical frown lines between the eyebrows (the ‘eleven’ lines), reduce the
appearance of a gummy smile by relaxing the muscle that elevates the upper
lip excessively, relax the masseter muscles in patients who grind or clench
their teeth, providing both therapeutic bruxism relief and cosmetic jaw slimming, and address chin dimpling (peau d’orange) that develops with age. Because these treatment areas involve the same muscles, nerves, and structures Dr. Cohan studies and works with every day as a dentist, her anatomical precision is exceptional. Her AAFE
membership confirms specialized training beyond standard dental education in
these specific injectable techniques.

Q7. What are dermal fillers and how do they complement
dental anti-aging treatments?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels, most commonly based on hyaluronic acid (a
substance that occurs naturally in the body), that restore volume, smooth
wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. In the anti-aging dentistry context,
Dr. Cohan uses fillers to restore lip volume that diminishes with age,
creating fuller, more defined lips that frame the smile and show more tooth
when speaking and smiling. She uses them to soften nasolabial folds (the
lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth) and marionette lines (the
lines from the corners of the mouth downward toward the chin) that deepen
with age and give the face a tired, downturned appearance. Fillers can also
be used to smooth fine lines around the mouth, restore volume to
hollow-appearing cheeks, and improve chin projection for better facial
balance. When combined with veneers, whitening, and other dental treatments, the effect is a comprehensive lower-face rejuvenation that no single treatment could achieve alone.

Q8. How much does anti-aging dentistry cost in Las Vegas?

Anti-aging dentistry encompasses a wide range of treatments, so costs vary based on the specific combination of procedures in your personalized plan. Botox
treatments for facial aesthetics typically range from $200 to $600 per
treatment area and last three to four months. Dermal filler treatments range
from $500 to $1,200 per syringe depending on the product used and the area
being treated, with results lasting 6 to 18 months. Porcelain veneers range from $1,500 to $2,500 per tooth. Professional whitening and teeth contouring are among the most affordable cosmetic options. A comprehensive anti-aging smile makeover combining multiple dental and facial esthetic treatments is customized to your goals and budget. At Summerlin Dental Solutions, Dr. Cohan provides a detailed cost estimate at your consultation. Our team verifies your insurance benefits for applicable dental treatments, and 0% interest financing through HFD is available for the dental components of your plan.

Q9. Is anti-aging dentistry safe?

Yes.
Every treatment offered as part of the anti-aging dentistry program at
Summerlin Dental Solutions has been FDA-approved and used safely in clinical
practice for years or decades. Botox has been used medically since the 1980s
and cosmetically since 2002. Hyaluronic acid fillers have been in widespread
cosmetic use for over two decades. Porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, and laser gum recontouring are established dental
procedures with extensive safety records. The key to safety is the skill and
training of the practitioner. Dr. Cohan’s AAFE membership, AACD
Accreditation, and more than 31 years of clinical experience ensure that
every treatment is performed with the anatomical knowledge, clinical
precision, and patient safety protocols that the procedures demand. She
evaluates your complete medical history before recommending any treatment and
discusses all potential risks and benefits transparently during your
consultation.

Q10. How long do anti-aging dental treatments last?

The longevity of results depends on the specific treatments in your plan. Porcelain veneers typically last 15 to 20 years with proper care, making
them one of the longest-lasting anti-aging investments available. Dental crowns
last 10 to 15 years or longer. Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper maintenance.
Professional whitening results last 6 to 12 months before touch-up is needed.
Botox results typically last 3 to 4 months and can be maintained with
periodic retreatment. Dermal filler results last 6 to 18 months depending on
the product used and the treatment area. The dental components of an
anti-aging plan provide long-term structural rejuvenation that serves as the
foundation, while the injectable components provide the facial soft tissue
enhancement that is refreshed on a maintenance schedule. Dr. Cohan
coordinates both timelines so your results remain consistent and natural over
the years.

Q11. Can anti-aging dentistry replace a facelift?

For many patients, anti-aging dentistry achieves results that are comparable to
what they expected from surgical options, particularly in the lower third of
the face where the smile, lips, and perioral area have the greatest visual
impact. Porcelain veneers that restore tooth length and brightness, combined
with lip filler that restores volume, Botox that smooths fine lines, and
laser gum recontouring that creates a balanced frame, can produce a
rejuvenation effect that patients and their friends describe as looking ten
years younger. The advantages over surgical options are significant: no
general anesthesia, no incisions or scarring, no extended recovery period,
minimal to no downtime, and results that can be maintained and adjusted over
time. That said, anti-aging dentistry is not a substitute for surgical
intervention when significant skin laxity, deep tissue sagging, or structural
changes require surgical correction. Dr. Cohan is transparent about what
anti-aging dentistry can and cannot achieve and will recommend a consultation
with a plastic surgeon if she believes surgical options would better serve
your goals.

Q12. What happens during an anti-aging dentistry
consultation?

Your anti-aging consultation at Summerlin Dental Solutions is one of the most
comprehensive aesthetic evaluations available in the Las Vegas Valley. Dr.
Cohan evaluates your smile, your facial structure, and the relationship
between the two using computerized smile design software, digital photography, and clinical assessment. She examines the condition, color, length, and proportion of your teeth, the health and position of your gum line, the volume and definition of your lips,
the presence and depth of perioral lines, nasolabial folds, and marionette
lines, the activity of the muscles that control facial expression, and the
overall balance and proportion of the lower face. She then designs a
personalized anti-aging plan that addresses your specific concerns using the
combination of dental and facial esthetic treatments that will produce the
most natural, harmonious result. You see a digital smile preview of the
dental components before any treatment begins. The consultation is thorough,
unhurried, and entirely free of pressure. You leave with a clear
understanding of what is possible, what it involves, and what it costs.

Q13. What technology does Summerlin Dental Solutions use for
anti-aging dentistry?

Summerlin Dental Solutions uses the most advanced dental technology available to plan and execute anti-aging treatments with precision. Our computerized smile design software creates a digital preview of your rejuvenated smile before treatment begins, allowing you to see and approve the cosmetic result in advance. The TRIOS digital scanner captures precise impressions for veneer and crown fabrication without messy
putty trays, ensuring restorations fit perfectly on the first try. Our AI-assisted radiological analysis and 3D CBCT scanner evaluate the health of your teeth
and supporting bone before cosmetic work begins, ensuring the anti-aging
treatments are built on a sound clinical foundation. Our soft tissue laser
enables minimally invasive gum recontouring with less bleeding, no sutures,
and faster healing. Digital X-rays provide instant imaging at up to 90% less
radiation. And dual-screen exam rooms display your digital smile preview,
before-and-after simulations, and treatment plan in real time so you are a
full partner in every aesthetic decision.

Q14. What are Dr. Cohan’s qualifications for anti-aging
dentistry?

Dr.Marianne Cohan is uniquely qualified for anti-aging dentistry because she holds credentials in both cosmetic dentistry and facial esthetics. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo with dual honors including the Operative Dentistry Award and the Periodontics Award. Her AACD Accreditation (held by fewer than 1% of dentists) confirms that her cosmetic dental work, including the veneers, whitening, and restorations at the core of dental anti-aging, meets the highest peer-reviewed standards in the profession. Her membership in the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE) provides specialized training in Botox, dermal fillers, and facial injectable techniques specifically for the dental and facial region. She also holds membership in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (relevant to replacing missing teeth that cause facial collapse), the ADA, the Academy of Laser Dentistry (relevant to laser gum recontouring), and the Academy of General Dentistry. With more than 31 years of clinical experience, Best Dentist in America peer recognition, and 19 Best of Las Vegas wins across four categories including Best Cosmetic Dentist, Dr. Cohan combines the dental artistry and facial esthetic expertise that anti-aging dentistry demands. You genuinely could not be in better hands.

Q15. How does missing teeth contribute to facial aging?

Missing teeth are one of the most significant accelerators of facial aging. When a
tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath the empty socket begins to resorb (shrink)
because it no longer receives the stimulation from the tooth root that
signals it to maintain density. Over months and years, this bone loss
progressively reduces the height and width of the jaw, causing the face to
collapse inward and downward. The chin moves closer to the nose, the lips
lose support and appear thinner, the cheeks hollow, and deep folds develop
around the mouth. This is why people who have been missing teeth for many
years often appear significantly older than their actual age. Dental
implants are the only tooth replacement option that preserves the jawbone by replacing the root with a titanium post that provides the same stimulation natural roots provide. For
patients missing all of their teeth, All-on-4 implant restorations can reverse the facial collapse effect by supporting a full arch of teeth on just four implants, restoring both function and the youthful facial proportions that tooth loss destroyed.

Q16. Can I combine dental anti-aging treatments with Botox
and fillers in one visit?

In many cases, yes. One of the advantages of receiving anti-aging dentistry at
Summerlin Dental Solutions is that Dr. Cohan performs both the dental
treatments and the injectable treatments herself, which allows for efficient
coordination and scheduling. For example, a patient might receive
professional whitening and Botox for lip lines in a single appointment, or
have veneers bonded in the morning and lip filler placed in the afternoon
once any numbness from the dental work has resolved. Dr. Cohan designs the
sequencing of your treatment plan to maximize efficiency while ensuring
optimal results for each component. Some combinations are best performed in a
single visit, while others benefit from being staged over two or more
appointments to allow healing between steps. She discusses the ideal timeline
during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect and how many
visits your complete rejuvenation will require.

Q17. Where is the closest anti-aging dentist near The
Summit, The Ridges, and Queensridge?

Summerlin Dental Solutions is located at 851 S Rampart Blvd, Suite 230, Las Vegas, NV
89145, centrally positioned in the heart of Summerlin between Tivoli Village
and Boca Park. Queensridge residents are just 5 to 10 minutes from our
office. The Summit residents reach us in approximately 10 to 12 minutes via
Town Center Drive and Rampart Boulevard. The Ridges residents connect via
Rampart Blvd. or the 215 Beltway in a similarly short drive. All three communities
include residents who value proactive aesthetics and who appreciate having an
AACD-accredited cosmetic dentist with AAFE facial esthetic training within
minutes of their neighborhood. For a treatment approach that requires no
downtime and produces visible results immediately, the convenience of having
anti-aging dentistry this close to home makes scheduling and maintenance
effortless. Call (702) 341-9160 to schedule your anti-aging consultation.

Q18. Can patients from Henderson get anti-aging dentistry at
Summerlin Dental Solutions?

Yes.
Henderson, Green Valley, and Anthem patients reach our Summerlin office in
approximately 25 to 30 minutes via the 215 Beltway. Henderson patients choose
Summerlin Dental Solutions for anti-aging dentistry because the combination
of AACD-accredited cosmetic dental expertise and AAFE facial esthetic
training in a single practitioner is exceptionally rare in the Las Vegas
Valley. Most patients seeking this combination of services would need to
visit a cosmetic dentist for the dental work and a separate med spa or
dermatologist for the injectables, with no coordination between the two
providers. At Summerlin Dental Solutions, Dr. Cohan designs and delivers the
complete anti-aging plan herself, ensuring the dental rejuvenation and the
facial esthetic treatments complement each other for a seamless, natural
result.

Q19. Is there an anti-aging dentist near Centennial Hills
and Spring Valley?

Yes.
Summerlin Dental Solutions serves anti-aging dentistry patients from
throughout the Las Vegas Valley including Centennial Hills, North Las Vegas,
Spring Valley, and all surrounding areas. Centennial Hills residents travel
south on the 215 or US-95 in approximately 20 to 25 minutes, while Spring
Valley patients are just 10 to 15 minutes south along the 215 Beltway. Both
communities include patients who are discovering that anti-aging dentistry
offers a non-surgical, no-downtime alternative to traditional cosmetic
procedures and who value having a provider with both dental and facial
esthetic credentials. Many anti-aging dentistry patients from these
communities originally came for a cosmetic dental consultation and were delighted to learn that Dr. Cohan could address their facial esthetic concerns in the same practice, eliminating the need for a separate med spa relationship.

Q20. How do I schedule an anti-aging dentistry consultation
at Summerlin Dental Solutions?

Call (702) 341-9160
and let our team know you are interested in anti-aging dentistry or facial
rejuvenation. You can also book online through our website or begin with a virtual consultation from the comfort of your home, which is a great first
step if you want to share photos and discuss your goals before visiting the
office. New patients can complete patient forms
online before arriving to save time. Your consultation includes a
comprehensive dental and facial esthetic evaluation with Dr. Cohan, digital
imaging and computerized smile design preview, a discussion of your aesthetic
goals and concerns, a personalized treatment plan combining dental and facial
treatments as appropriate, and a detailed cost estimate with insurance verification for dental components and financing options. We are located at 851 S Rampart Blvd, Suite 230, in the heart of Summerlin near Tivoli Village and Boca Park. We proudly serve
patients from The Summit, The Ridges, Queensridge, Henderson, Centennial
Hills, Spring Valley, and all surrounding communities. You could not be in
better hands at Summerlin Dental Solutions.

The Summit

One of Summerlin’s most prestigious
guard-gated communities, The Summit is approximately 10 to 12 minutes from
our office. Summit residents who prioritize proactive aesthetics appreciate
having an AACD-accredited cosmetic dentist with AAFE facial esthetic training
within minutes of their front gate. The combination of dental rejuvenation
and injectable expertise under one roof is a level of convenience and
coordination that separate providers cannot offer.

The Ridges

Nestled against Red Rock Canyon, The Ridges
is a short drive from our office via Rampart Boulevard or the 215 Beltway.
Ridges residents value Dr. Cohan’s holistic approach to anti-aging, where the
smile, the gums, the lips, and the perioral area are all evaluated and
treated as a unified aesthetic system rather than as isolated concerns
managed by different providers.

Queensridge

Our closest neighboring community at just 5
to 10 minutes from our office. Queensridge residents enjoy the shortest
commute for both dental anti-aging treatments and injectable maintenance
appointments. Because Botox and fillers require periodic retreatment (every 3
to 4 months for Botox, every 6 to 18 months for fillers), having your
provider minutes from home makes the maintenance schedule effortless to
maintain.

Henderson

Henderson, Green Valley, and Anthem patients
reach our Summerlin office in approximately 25 to 30 minutes via the 215
Beltway. Henderson patients choose Summerlin Dental Solutions for anti-aging dentistry because finding a single practitioner with AACD cosmetic dental Accreditation and AAFE facial esthetic training are exceptionally rare.
Henderson patients who previously split their care between a cosmetic dentist and a med spa appreciate the coordinated, unified approach that only a
dual-credentialed provider can deliver.

Centennial
Hills

North Las Vegas and Centennial Hills
residents travel south on the 215 or US-95 in approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
This growing community includes an increasing number of patients who are
discovering anti-aging dentistry as a non-surgical, no-downtime alternative
to more invasive cosmetic procedures and who value having the complete
treatment delivered by a single trusted provider with peer-reviewed
credentials.

Spring
Valley

Located just south of Summerlin along the 215
Beltway, Spring Valley patients reach our office in 10 to 15 minutes. As one
of our largest patient communities, Spring Valley residents include many
anti-aging dentistry patients who originally came for a dental concern and
were delighted to learn that Dr. Cohan could also address their facial
esthetic goals in the same office, at the same visit, with the same trusted
relationship.

Computerized
Smile Design

The cornerstone of anti-aging treatment
planning. Dr. Cohan uses this software to digitally design your rejuvenated smile based on your facial proportions, lip dynamics, and aesthetic goals. You see a realistic preview of the projected dental result before treatment begins and can request adjustments to shade, shape, and proportion until thedesign matches your vision. This collaborative approach ensures no surprises and maximum satisfaction.

TRIOS
Digital Scanner

Captures precise digital impressions for
veneer, crown, and restoration fabrication without messy putty trays. The
accuracy of the TRIOS scan translates directly to better-fitting restorationsthat look natural and last longer. For anti-aging patients receiving multiple restorations, the precision of each individual piece determines how natural and harmonious the overall result appears.

AI-Assisted
Radiology

Before any cosmetic treatment begins, the AI
The system reviews your diagnostic images alongside Dr. Cohan to ensure that no hidden decay, fractures, infections, or bone loss will compromise the anti-aging result. Building cosmetic treatments on an unhealthy foundation leads to premature failure, so the AI provides an essential safety check that protects your investment.

3D CBCT
Scanner

Provides three-dimensional views of bone
structure, tooth roots, and jaw anatomy for patients who need dental implants to replace missing teeth as part of their anti-aging plan. The CBCT scan ensures precise implant placement, restoring both function and the facial support lost due to tooth loss.

Soft
Tissue Laser

Enables minimally invasive gum recontouring
that reshapes the gum line to create a more youthful, balanced frame for theteeth. The laser produces less bleeding, requires no sutures, and enables faster healing than traditional methods. For anti-aging patients, the laser can correct gummy smiles, uneven gum contours, and recession that makes teeth appear longer and older.

Digital
X-Rays

Delivering instant imaging at up to 90% less
radiation, digital X-rays assess the baseline condition of teeth, roots,
bone, and existing dental work before anti-aging treatment begins. The
instant results allow Dr. Cohan to identify and address any underlying issues during the same consultation visit.

Dual-Screen
Exam Rooms

Every treatment room features dual monitors
displaying your smile design preview, before-and-after simulations, and
facial esthetic treatment areas. For anti-aging patients, seeing the
projected result of dental treatments alongside areas where Botox and fillers will enhance the facial contours creates a unified visual understanding of how all the treatments work together to produce the complete rejuvenation.
