Cosmetic dentistry
When a child starts hiding their smile, that is a dental problem.
Cosmetic dentistry is about making your child’s dreams come true. If your child ever hides their smile because they are unhappy with their teeth, it’s time to consider our cosmetic smile solutions.

What Changes
Four things a repaired smile gives back.
There are many benefits to receiving cosmetic dental solutions. Some of these include:
Self-esteem
The reason most families ask. A child who is not thinking about their teeth is free to think about something else.
Oral health
A chipped or crowded tooth is harder to keep clean, and what starts cosmetic often does not stay cosmetic.
Appearance
Shape, length, colour and the gaps between teeth, all of which bonding can work on in a single visit.
Function
A tooth that has been rebuilt to its proper shape bites and chews the way it is supposed to.
The Work
What is actually available to a child.
Veneers, whitening and implants belong to adult dentistry and are not offered here. For those, the parent practice is Mason Park Dental of Katy.
Bonding
Bonding is a cosmetic and restorative treatment option. Composite resin materials are bonded directly onto the teeth. This both restores function and provides a more aesthetic appearance.
Where cosmetic and restorative meet
Over time, teeth begin to weaken. This leaves them more susceptible to problems such as decay, cracks or discoloration. A dental crown can renew the appearance and function of a tooth.
A crown or a tooth-coloured filling is restorative work that happens to look right, and for most children that is the whole of the cosmetic answer.
Why Here
A pediatric dentist deciding what not to do.
Most cosmetic questions about a child’s teeth resolve themselves, and the useful thing a specialist does is say which ones.
What we will tell you at the consultation.
- Whether the tooth in question is a baby tooth, and therefore leaving.
- Whether the gap will close on its own as the permanent teeth arrive.
- Whether the answer is orthodontic rather than cosmetic.
- What bonding can do in one visit, and what it cannot.
This is the best Children’s Dentist office I have ever been to.
