Mom, children with damaged, discolored or missing teeth
sometimes have problems with self-esteem that can be improved through aesthetic
dentistry.
When a child has lost one or more front teeth, the dentist
can replace these teeth with an aesthetic maintainer. The artificial teeth can
be placed onto a removable or cemented dental appliance. Also, dentists can
apply aesthetic veneers, or plastic facings, on discolored primary front teeth.
For mildly or moderately decayed front and back teeth,
dentists now are able to place tooth-colored (composite) dental fillings. These
materials have been dramatically improved and eventually, dentists no longer will need to place silver fillings. These
tooth-colored fillings are bonded to the tooth surface and they are not only
beautiful but strong as well.
For severely decayed front and back teeth, silver-colored
dental crowns no longer are the norm. Dentists now have tooth-colored plastic
and porcelain materials that can be used to cover the entire surface of the
tooth to restore both function and aesthetics. Some of these crowns have metal
linings but still have tooth-colored facings that allow for beautiful aesthetic
restorations. With E4D crowns, the metal
linings can be completely eliminated.
Many children benefit dramatically from aesthetic dental
care on their primary teeth. Be sure to consult with your dentist if you have
questions about whether aesthetic dentistry is right for your child. In our Sandy
Springs office we can
be of service by giving us contact for a complimentary consultation.
