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
dental fillings. |
