Cosmetic & Aesthetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just for adults—children and teens can benefit from aesthetic treatments too. The teenage years are a time of growing independence, self-awareness, and social interaction. A confident smile plays a big role in helping kids feel good about themselves as they navigate friendships, school, and social situations.
At Bright Healthy Smiles, we offer safe, gentle, and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures that can enhance the natural beauty of your child’s smile while preserving their developing teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Starting around age 14, teens can safely brighten their smiles with our GLO gentle whitening system. This treatment is designed specifically for sensitive mouths and delivers beautiful, natural results. Some temporary sensitivity can occur, but using a fluoride-rich toothpaste in the days leading up to treatment can help reduce this effect.
Bonding
Dental bonding is a quick and effective way to repair chipped front teeth or cover areas of discoloration. Using a tooth-colored resin, we sculpt and polish the surface to restore the tooth’s natural shape and appearance—all without removing healthy enamel.
Microabrasion
This minimally invasive procedure is used to treat superficial enamel irregularities and certain types of intrinsic staining. Microabrasion gently buffs the enamel with a combination of mild abrasives and acid to smooth and brighten the tooth’s surface, with minimal enamel removal and highly satisfying results.
ICON Resin Infiltration
White spot lesions, often seen after orthodontic treatment, can be treated with ICON—a non-invasive procedure that minimizes their appearance by eliminating the light scattering effect on demineralized enamel. For enhanced results, ICON treatment can be paired with MI Paste, a remineralizing cream that delivers calcium and phosphate directly to the tooth surface.
MI Paste
MI Paste supports enamel repair by replenishing essential minerals in weakened areas. Depending on the case, it may be applied with a toothbrush or in a custom tray to maximize contact time. Note: MI Paste contains milk proteins and should not be used by children with milk allergies.
At Bright Healthy Smiles, our cosmetic services are always tailored to your child’s age, dental development, and specific concerns. Our goal is to support confident, healthy smiles that grow with your child.
