Cosmetic Procedures For Your Teen




Your teen may be home and complaining about their smile, it can be difficult for them because of pressure from peers or other stress that can impact their life. But if they are asking for you to pay for veneers or other cosmetic procedures, prior to making this choice, here are the facts about cosmetic procedures.

Braces can help fix crooked teeth. If your teen brushes and flosses and follows the necessary routines with braces they should not have any permanent impact from braces. It is important that they take care of them.

Whitening procedures in-home or in the dentist office can remove staining. Prior to any whitening procedures though it is important to discuss all  options with your child’s dentist. There are also other ways they can whiten their teeth and some foods actually prevent staining.

Enamel shaping can help to even out chipped or broken teeth. This can help your child’s smile and improve their confidence. This procedure can also be done to improve gaps between their teeth. This procedure can be done in the office and is relatively affordable.
