Why Choose TrueSmiles for Kid-Friendly Dentistry

Porcelain veneers are incredibly thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth. They're a popular choice among our Miami patients because they can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns. Here's why you should consider them:

  • A smile that's uniquely you: Veneers are crafted to match the natural color, shape, and translucency of your teeth, ensuring a seamless and beautiful result. Want a brighter shade?  We can do that too!
  • Say goodbye to imperfections: Veneers can conceal a variety of flaws, including discoloration, minor misalignments, gaps, and chips. They can even close those pesky gaps between misaligned teeth that love to trap food!
  • Built to last: Porcelain veneers are durable and stain-resistant, so you can enjoy your dazzling new smile for years to come.
  • A gentle touch: The veneer application process is minimally invasive, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.

FAQ

At what age should I start taking my child to the dentist?

Cross Icon Image

It's recommended to take your child for their first dental visit as soon as their first tooth appears or by their first birthday. Early visits help to catch any potential issues and get your child accustomed to regular dental checkups, setting the foundation for healthy oral habits.

Why are baby teeth important if they're going to fall out anyway?

Baby teeth play a crucial role in a child's development. They hold space for permanent teeth, aid in speech development, and enable children to chew properly. Maintaining the health of baby teeth is vital for preventing decay and ensuring the proper eruption of permanent teeth.

What is the best way to clean my child's teeth?

For infants, gently clean their gums with a soft, clean cloth. As teeth emerge, use a small, soft-bristled toothbrush with a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste. As children get older, assist them in brushing twice a day and flossing daily, teaching them to spit out toothpaste rather than swallow it.

How can I make dental visits less scary for my child?

Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where decay often starts. They are particularly beneficial for children who are still mastering their brushing skills. Our dentist can recommend if and when sealants would be beneficial for your child's teeth.
