Esthetic Pediatric Dentistry Explained:

Esthetic pediatric dentistry is a specialized branch of pediatric dentistry that focuses on fostering dental health for the pediatric dentition with natural-looking and beautiful solutions. It surpasses routine treatments of cavities and dental issues; it aims to restore or enhance a child’s smile with biomimetic dental materials in a way that looks natural and boosts their confidence. By creating life-like and functional solutions, esthetic pediatric dentistry helps set the foundation for a lifetime of oral health and well-being.

Esthetic Teenage Dentistry Explained:

Esthetic dentistry for teenagers is an approach to dental care that enhances the appearance of a teenager’s smile while addressing functional and oral health needs. Cosmetic dental treatments that are tailored to the unique oral health consideration in the teen years include minimally involved, bonded, biomimetic and 3D printed restorative solutions, orthodontic corrections, and upgrades in smile esthetics. The teenage years are a crucial period for social confidence, self-image, and ongoing dental development. Esthetic dental care during this time helps teens achieve a healthy, attractive smile that they can carry into adulthood.

3D Dental Printing Explained:

Three-dimensional printing in dentistry refers to the process of additive manufacturing to create precise, custom dental appliances, restorations, and models by layering material using digital technology. This advanced technique starts with a digital scan of the teeth which is used to design and fabricate dental products, such as crowns, veneers, clear aligners and retainers. The process allows for fast and exact production of dental solutions, offering same-day treatment options with high-quality esthetics and fit. The technology is fascinating for our young clients that are super-tech savvy and enjoy understanding and watching the fabrication process.

Revolutionizing Esthetic Dentistry with 3D Dental Printing:

Esthetic Dentistry and 3D Dental Printing are a perfect match! Using 3D printing technology, we can digitally create fully customized dental solutions that are natural-looking and tooth-preserving in one visit. Fast, precise and esthetically perfect, 3D printed restorations are a new advancement in cosmetic dentistry that has never been available for the pediatric and teenage age groups. We have fully embraced this leading-edge technology and are proud to offer these custom solutions for our young clients with growing smiles.

FAQ About Esthetic Dentistry/3D Printing:

Why is esthetic dentistry important for kids and teenagers?

Whether we are repairing a chipped tooth, enhancing a smile for a special event, or completing orthodontic care with a whitening treatment, esthetic dentistry plays a vital role in helping kids and teens feel proud of their smile. Esthetic dentistry for kids and teens is about more than just improving smiles. It is about building confidence, supporting oral health, and preparing for a lifetime of wellness. By addressing both functional and cosmetic needs in a way that is quick, effective, and minimally invasive, esthetic dentistry helps youngsters look and feel their best during one of the most formative periods of their lives.

How is 3D printing transforming kids’ and teenagers’ smiles?

3D printing offers dental solutions to kids and teenagers that were never available before. From orthodontics to restorative dentistry, we can offer same-day solutions that are specifically tailored to each child’s needs. Unlike adult restorations, typical child dental restorations are not custom-made. They are prefabricated en masse in standard sizes. Standard pediatric crowns and space maintainers are then “retro-fitted” as best as possible to adapt to the child’s teeth and mouth. 3D printing solutions have finally shifted this paradigm to the possibility of custom created options for the child population. Furthermore, these printed options are efficient, tooth-preserving and beautiful.

Are 3D-printed crowns as strong as traditional crowns?

Yes, studies have shown excellent durability for printed crowns and fixed dental prostheses. General dentists and prosthodontists have been placing these restorations in the adult population for several years with high success. In the pediatric population, the applications are brand new. However, occlusal forces in children are known to be more forgiving that those in adults, making 3D printing options a great choice for pediatric restorations. For a newer technology, 3D dental printing has skyrocketed to success in a short amount of time.

Are 3D printed dental materials safe for kids?

Yes. The resins used in the printing process are safe and FDA approved. In comparison to traditionally cured composite resins, 3D printed resins have a much higher curing percentages than composites that are light cured in the mouth. This is because their processing requires an external curing unit.

Can 3D printing be used for orthodontics?

3D dental printing has many orthodontic applications. Examples include 3D printed retainers, 3D printed brackets and 3D printed attachments. We offer same-day printed retainers for our kids and teens. We also offer a retainer insurance program and can reprint a retainer from existing data in the case of loss or damage.

How long does a 3D printed restoration take?

Using our SprintRay units, the actual printing time for a dental restorations is under 15 minutes. We add time for post-processing and artistic fine tuning to make these restorations appear ultra natural and life-like.
