At Justison and Gladnick Family Dentistry, we understand that a confident smile is essential for teenagers. Cosmetic dentistry offers safe and effective treatments to help teens achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. Here are some popular cosmetic dental options suitable for teenagers:

Teeth Whitening for a Brighter Smile

Teeth whitening is a popular cosmetic treatment that can brighten a teen's smile by removing stains and discoloration caused by food, drinks, and other factors. We use safe, professional-grade whitening products that provide noticeable results without harming the teeth. This non-invasive procedure is quick and can significantly boost teenagers' confidence by giving them a whiter, more radiant smile.

Dental Bonding to Repair or Reshape Teeth

Dental bonding is an excellent option for teens with chipped, cracked, or misshapen teeth. This procedure involves applying a tooth-colored resin to the affected area and shaping it to blend seamlessly with the natural tooth. Dental bonding is quick, non-invasive, and provides immediate results. It is particularly beneficial for teens because it can correct minor cosmetic issues without extensive dental work, making them more confident in their appearance.

Veneers Can Create Your Perfect Smile

Veneers can be an excellent solution for teens with more significant cosmetic concerns, such as severe discoloration or uneven teeth. They are thin shells of porcelain or composite resin that cover the teeth's front surface, creating a uniform and attractive appearance. 

This option is ideal for teens who need more extensive cosmetic improvements. However, it's essential to consult with our dental professionals to determine if veneers are appropriate for a teenager's dental needs. Veneers require more preparation and commitment, so we carefully evaluate each case to ensure the best outcomes.

Invisalign for Straightening Teeth

Invisalign clear aligners are custom-made to fit teeth and gradually shift them into the desired position. They're an excellent alternative to traditional braces, especially for teens who are conscious about their appearance. The aligners are removable, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene and enjoy favorite foods without restrictions.
