Cosmetic Dentistry
Smiles matter, probably more than we realize. Volumes of research confirm the influential role of smiles on our relationships and our self-esteem. This affects children just as much as adults. If you’re confident, you smile more. If you smile more, you feel more confident. But what if your child is embarrassed to flash their smile because they have stains or chipped teeth? It becomes a psychological short-circuit, with effects that may carry on throughout their life. Fortunately, a growing range of options opens doors for your child to enjoy a beautiful smile. And Dr. Chang and Dr. Phan’s passion for enhancing your child’s smile brings you the best in modern dentistry.
There are many reasons a child may need cosmetic dentistry. Sickness in infancy or a condition of overexposure to fluoride, called fluorosis, may stain the teeth with bright white spots. A chipped tooth from a fall or even a missing or misshapen tooth can be temporarily fixed until a child is done growing when a more permanent restoration can be placed.
