A confident smile can make a world of difference for teenagers, especially during such formative years. At Pediatric Dental Associates of Clinton, we understand the unique dental needs of teens and provide tailored cosmetic dental solutions to restore and enhance their smiles.
From repairing chipped teeth to addressing discoloration, our advanced treatments, like bonding and Icon® resin infiltration, combine innovation with a gentle touch. If your teen’s dental health or confidence could use a boost, we’re here to help.
Cosmetic Bonding for Teens
Cosmetic bonding is an excellent solution for minor imperfections like chips, cracks, or discoloration. This technique uses a tooth-colored resin that’s expertly shaped and polished to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth. Completed in just one visit, bonding is non-invasive and provides an instant confidence boost.
At our Annandale office, we frequently recommend bonding for teens as it’s both effective and gentle. Teens who have experienced sports-related chips or other minor dental issues often leave with smiles they’re eager to show off.
Icon® Resin Treatment for Smooth Surface Staining
Braces can sometimes leave behind stubborn white-spot lesions or discoloration on teeth. This is where the revolutionary Icon® resin infiltration treatment shines. Unlike traditional methods that require intensive whitening or enamel removal, Icon gently infiltrates the affected area to restore teeth to their natural appearance.
For teens concerned about visible white spots, Icon is a game-changer, offering a minimally invasive, painless solution. It’s a stress-free way to achieve a healthier, more radiant smile.
A Brighter Future for Your Teen’s Smile
Cosmetic dental care allows teens to address imperfections that may impact their confidence while prioritizing gentle, age-appropriate treatment. At Pediatric Dental Associates of Clinton, we proudly offer solutions designed to meet these exact needs. By combining advanced technology with a compassionate approach, we ensure both parents and teens feel comfortable and supported throughout the process.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pediatric Cosmetic Dentistry
How old does a teen need to be for cosmetic dental treatments like bonding?
There’s no specific age limit for cosmetic bonding, but it’s typically suitable for teens with fully erupted adult teeth. Because bonding is minimally invasive, it’s often a good option for addressing chips and discoloration in growing smiles. A consultation with our experienced team will determine if your teen is a good candidate.
Can teens whiten their teeth?
Professional teeth whitening is generally recommended for teens aged 14 or older. By this age, most primary teeth have usually fallen out, and adult teeth are fully developed. Our team can guide you through safe options for your teen’s unique needs.
