\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Between college interviews, internships, job opportunities, and social media, teens are under a lot of pressure to look good, and part of putting their best foot forward is having a healthy, beautiful smile. But what happens if yours has cosmetic dental flaws that make them feel less than confident about sharing their gorgeous grin with the world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic dentistry<\/a> can help. While many patients think of this field of oral health care as an \u201cadults only\u201d branch of dentistry, the truth is there are many treatments that are perfect for younger patients, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few ways cosmetic dentistry can help your teen have their most stunning smile yet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Porcelain Veneers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While veneers are often a great treatment for older adults who have stains, chips, or other tooth damage, they\u2019re also a great option for teenagers with a variety of cosmetic issues, including minor gaps or crowding, discoloration, \u201ctoo small\u201d teeth, and more. Veneers can quickly and easily treat a variety of problems in one procedure and are much faster than orthodontic treatment and more extensive makeovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metal-Free Restorations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Did your teen get a metal filling as a child that is visible when they eat, speak, or smile? Why not upgrade that older restoration to a tooth-colored filling made of composite resin. These fillings are just as durable and long-lasting as metal fillings, but because they are tooth-colored, they blend seamlessly into their smile, so nobody will know they\u2019re there. Plus, because they\u2019re durable, your teen can eat a full diet with them without worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct Bonding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Direct bonding uses the same composite resin material used in metal-free restorations to repair chipped, stained, or broken teeth. If your teen has minor damage to an otherwise healthy tooth, direct bonding is an affordable, fast option that not only looks great but allows them to use their tooth as it was intended. Direct bonding doesn\u2019t last as long as treatments like porcelain veneers, but it is a quick, painless procedure that should remain beautiful looking for up to five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At-Home Teeth Whitening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Opalescence at-home teeth whitening program can remove up to eight shades of discoloration from your teen\u2019s smile. Whether they have senior pictures, graduation, or prom, having a whiter, brighter smile is the perfect boost of confidence. With this treatment, your dentist will make custom trays for your teen that can be reused with refillable whitening gel. Your dentist can adjust the gel to the perfect strength for your teen\u2019s teeth, and if they ever need touch ups you can reuse the trays again and again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, cosmetic dentistry is a great option for teenagers who have all their permanent teeth. If your teen has cosmetic oral health problems that could be keeping them from looking and feeling their best, speak to your dentist today about their cosmetic dentistry options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
