Is your preteen or teenager struggling with a dental issue that desperately needs repair? You’re not alone. While we hate to admit it, taking care of teeth is not always on the top of every teen’s to-do list—but that does not mean oral health is not especially important for growing adolescents. At Clover Hills Dentistry in Mission, TX, Dr. Alexander Ochoa Falla rebuilds smiles for preteens and teens with sophisticated technology and tools to help get their dental health back on track.
With social clubs, prom, and college on the horizon, the last thing your teenager wants to worry about is dental health issues. While maintaining teeth through preventative dental services is ideal, tooth-colored fillings, crowns, and other restorative dental work can preserve and protect the teeth for years. So, if your teen complains about a toothache, don’t chalk it up as growing pains. At any age, tooth pain can indicate that an individual needs restorative dental care to treat a cavity, damage, or another oral health issue.
Preteens and teenagers are often concerned about the way they look. While as a parent, it can be challenging to empathize and comprehend why one could care so much about what other people think, try remembering the social pressures of during middle school and high school. Since most prefer subtly repairing their smiles, Dr. Ochoa offers metal-free dental fillings, crowns, and more:
Clover Hills Dentistry is pleased to offer tooth-colored fillings to fill minor cavities and repair damaged smiles. Dr. Ochoa matches composite resin to the natural shade of your teenager’s tooth for a solution that blends beautifully with the rest of the smile.
Similar to composite fillings, Dr. Ochoa and his team can cover a weakened tooth with a seamless tooth-colored dental crown. These dental restorations are used when a traditional dental filling will not suffice, such as if your teen needs to repair extensive decay or damage. Our dental lab technicians make custom-fit dental caps based on your older kid’s needs. Once in place, your teen’s new dental crown should appear and feel like a natural tooth—offering a more cohesive, healthier appearance.
At Clover Hills Dentistry, we pride ourselves on having a friendly and knowledgeable staff. Our team is committed to providing quality care in a supportive and comfortable environment so your preteen or teen can feel at ease during their visit. Is your older child due for a dental visit?
