Why Choose Beam Dental
Our dedicated team of dentists, implant specialists, hygienists, and care specialists in Fort Lee, NJ, works together to create a convenient dental experience.
By the time most children reach age 12 or 13, their permanent teeth have emerged, making it clear if concerns like overcrowding, gaps, or bite misalignments are present. Orthodontics for teens provides tailored solutions to help them achieve a healthy, confident smile as they move toward adulthood. At our Fort Lee office, we focus on treatments that fit a teenager's active lifestyle while delivering lasting results.
Our orthodontist team will discuss the best treatment options based on your teenager's specific goals and preferences. We offer several modern choices for teeth straightening:
- Invisalign Teen®: These customized, transparent trays are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, drinking, and brushing.
- Traditional Metal Braces: A durable and practical choice for addressing a wide range of complex dental issues.
- Ceramic Braces: These use tooth-colored brackets to blend in with the natural smile, offering a more discreet alternative to metal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the procedure for getting a filling hurt?
Most patients do not experience pain during the process. Your dentist will use a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth, though you may still feel some light pressure or vibration from the tools.
How long can I expect my white fillings to last?
With proper care, resin fillings typically last between seven and 10 years. To help them last, we recommend regular brushing and flossing, and avoiding extremely hard or sticky foods that could chip the material.
Are composite fillings better than silver fillings?
The best choice depends on your specific needs and preferences. Composite fillings offer a natural appearance and require less drilling, while silver fillings are often chosen for their durability in larger repairs on back molars.
What exactly are tooth-colored fillings?
They are made of a specialized acrylic resin used to treat cavities and structural damage. Because they match the shade of your natural teeth, they are virtually unnoticeable once placed.
