With the spring season comes a major event in your high schooler’s life – prom. While you will likely spend time and money finding the perfect dress, don’t forget about perfecting her smile for the big occasion.

These are some dental services that might be able to help.

Invisalign

Invisalign is a tooth straightening system that uses clear, plastic aligners to encourage the teeth to move into their desired positions. They are barely noticeable, so even if your teen is wearing them on prom night, it isn't likely that her friends will notice. This is a great way to discreetly straighten the teeth.

Dental Bonding

If your teen has a minor cosmetic problem with her front teeth, like a gap, small chip, or crack, dental bonding might be able to help. Her dentist will apply composite resin before hardening and shaping it to achieve a beautiful final product.

Teeth Whitening

A whiter smile can make your teen’s teeth look vibrant and healthy, and fortunately, there are a lot of options available to help your child get whiter teeth. Whitening toothpaste or strips can have some success, but the most effective treatment is to invest in professional whitening. Your dentist might offer chair-side whitening services or professional level systems that you can use at home.

Dental Veneers

If your teen has severely chipped or stained teeth, or if she is self-conscious about a large gap, veneers might be the best treatment option. These thin, porcelain shells go over the fronts of the teeth in order to provide for a straighter, whiter, and more attractive smile. Your teen will be ready to take some selfies once her smile is rejuvenated with veneers.
