What are Cosmetic Dental Treatments for Kids and Teens?

Cosmetic dentistry is a specialized field within dentistry that focuses on improving the cosmetic appearance of the teeth. Cosmetic dental treatments for children and teens can help young people who feel self-conscious about imperfections in their teeth.

Yellowed, chipped, stained, small, or uneven teeth can negatively impact the self-esteem and self-confidence of young patients, just like adults. At Valley Smiles Pediatric Dentistry, we have hand-selected premium cosmetic dental treatments that are safe and effective for young patients. All cosmetic dental treatments we offer are non-invasive and can be performed in a single dental appointment.

Benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry for Children and Teens

Cosmetic Dental Treatments Available at Valley Smiles Pediatric Dentistry

At-Home Teeth Whitening

Dental-grade teeth whitening kits are available for teens from Valley Smiles Pediatric Dentistry. Take-home whitening kits can significantly lighten yellow teeth by several shades. Our take-home whitening kits are professional-grade so they offer better results than over-the-counter teeth whitening products.

Microabrasion

Microabrasion is a cosmetic dental treatment that can remove dark stains from the teeth. During treatment, our pediatric dentist will gently etch the stained enamel to remove it.

Cosmetic Bonding

Cosmetic dental bonding has a variety of applications. Cosmetic bonding can be used to lengthen small teeth, reshape teeth, lighten a stained tooth, restore a chipped tooth, and close small gaps between teeth.

Cosmetic Ion Infiltration

Cosmetic ion infiltration is a non-invasive cosmetic dental treatment that removes white spots that may develop as a result of wearing orthodontic braces. 

Frequently Asked Questions About Cosmetic Dentistry

Are cosmetic dental treatments covered by insurance?
Unfortunately, cosmetic dental treatments are not covered by dental insurance.
Can children get dental bonding on baby teeth?
Yes, cosmetic bonding is safe for use on baby teeth.
How long will teeth whitening last?
Everyone's a little different. To maintain the results of teeth whitening, patients should avoid dark sodas, coffee, and bright-colored, sugary juices. Using straws can help you maintain the results from whitening. It’s also crucial to practice excellent oral hygiene habits and receive regular dental cleanings twice a year. Teeth whitening can be repeated over the years in keeping with your dentist’s recommendation.
Is cosmetic bonding a permanent treatment?
No. Although the results from cosmetic bonding may last years, at some point the bond will need to be replaced.
Will gray teeth respond to take-home teeth whitening kits?
No. Teeth whitening is most effective on yellow-stained teeth. If your child has a gray tooth, we will be happy to discuss other options which may include a dental veneer or a dental crown.
How long does ionic infiltration for white spot removal take?
It depends on the number of white spots that need to be treated. Typically, the entire treatment takes one hour or less.
How long will the results from ionic infiltration last?
Many patients will find that treatment to remove white spots will last several years before needing to be repeated
Can baby teeth be whitened?
We do not recommend whitening primary teeth. The baby teeth have thinner enamel and dentin. The primary teeth also have more pulp. Because teeth whitening can increase sensitivity, it is best suited for teens who have all of their permanent teeth.
