Pediatric Cosmetic Dentistry in St. Louis, MO

Pediatric cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of a child’s teeth, gums, or bite while respecting the developmental stage of their smile. At Lenahan Smiles, these treatments are never one-size-fits-all. Our team designs every cosmetic solution to be gentle, minimally invasive, and completely customized to your child’s age, comfort level, and oral health. This form of dental care isn’t just about beauty—it’s about helping kids feel more confident and comfortable with their smiles.

At Lenahan Smiles, our cosmetic services are designed to be as safe and effective as they are smile-enhancing. We offer:

• Professional teeth whitening using gentle, pediatric-safe formulas
• Composite bonding to repair chipped, cracked, or discolored teeth
• Beautiful porcelain crowns on baby teeth to repair decay

These cosmetic dental treatments are provided in a nurturing, anxiety-aware environment where children feel comfortable and cared for.

Every child’s smile is different. We frequently see families looking for solutions to:

• Stained or discolored teeth
• Chipped or uneven baby teeth
• Tooth gaps or irregular spacing
• Low smile confidence or self-consciousness

Our pediatric aesthetic dental care aims to address each of these concerns with a gentle approach that honors both the health and happiness of every child.

The right time for cosmetic dental care depends on your child’s stage of development. Some treatments, like bonding, may be appropriate as early as age six, while whitening is typically reserved for older children with permanent teeth. At Lenahan Smiles, we evaluate each child individually and always take a conservative, age-appropriate approach to care. If you’re unsure, we’re happy to schedule a consultation and discuss safe options tailored to your child’s needs.

We understand how frustrating it can be when stains or discoloration affect your child’s smile. The best solution depends on the cause of the stain. We may recommend:

• Gentle professional whitening under our supervision
• Polishing to remove surface stains
• Education on diet and brushing habits to prevent future discoloration

All whitening options at Lenahan Smiles are designed specifically for kids, low-sensitivity and safe for developing teeth.

Absolutely. Our team uses composite bonding and cosmetic contouring to address small gaps or uneven teeth. These treatments not only enhance the appearance of your child’s smile—they can also improve function and self-confidence. When needed, we also collaborate with trusted orthodontic specialists for more complex spacing or bite concerns.

Yes, and we specialize in them. Our approach to pediatric aesthetic dentistry is built around comfort and simplicity. Minimally invasive options include:

• Micro-bonding for small imperfections
• Sealants for added protection
• Low-abrasion polishing for brighter teeth
• Tooth-colored fillings for natural restorations
• Nitrous oxide sedation for anxious little ones

All dental treatments are performed in a supportive, anxiety-aware setting by experienced pediatric specialists.

Costs for pediatric cosmetic dental treatments vary depending on your child’s specific needs and the type of care recommended. At Lenahan Smiles, we pride ourselves on transparent pricing and ethical treatment plans. We’ll walk you through every option and help you make an informed decision—without pressure and without recommending anything your child doesn’t need.

We also offer guidance on insurance coverage and flexible payment options when available.
