Kids may need cosmetic care for the same reasons as adults. If they have misshapen, stained, or uneven teeth, kids and teenagers may feel self-conscious about their teeth, and hide their smile around others. This can hurt their self-esteem and their confidence as they grow.
Cosmetic dentistry is also a great option after orthodontics. Once your child’s teeth have been straightened, procedures like teeth whitening and dental bonding can make their teeth look absolutely perfect, and give them a bright, shiny, and healthy smile. To learn more and see if cosmetic dentistry is right for your child or teen, just contact South OC Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics for a consultation with Dr. John Delorme.
At your child’s cosmetic dentistry appointment, Dr. Delorme will have an open, honest discussion with them about how their teeth make them feel. He will also conduct a comprehensive oral exam to learn more about their oral health, and decide what treatments may be right for them.
Then, you’ll get a customized treatment recommendation from South OC Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics. You can choose to schedule your child’s next appointment and get started right away, and they’ll be on their way to a picture-perfect smile.

Take-home teeth whitening is great for kids and teens with busy schedules. In this procedure, Dr. Delorme will make a set of reusable, custom whitening trays. Then, your child will use a set of whitening products and their whitening trays to whiten their smile in the comfort of their own home. They’ll usually wear the trays for about an hour a day for 2-3 weeks. This is a great option if you know your child will be diligent about wearing their trays.
In-office whitening is great for special events like senior photos or graduation. In this treatment, Dr. Delorme will whiten your child’s teeth by 5-10 shades in a single appointment. Using powerful whiteners and UV light, he can provide amazing results for kids of all ages.
Dental bonding is used to reshape and improve your child’s teeth. In this procedure, Dr. Delorme will add tooth-colored dental resin to your child’s tooth. He will trim, sculpt, shape, and mold this resin to fix issues like minor chips, uneven teeth, small teeth, and more. Dental bonding doesn’t require any enamel removal, and it’s also fast and affordable, so it’s a great option for kids and teens.
Also sometimes called “shaping and contouring,” this procedure involves gently removing thin layers of enamel from some of your child’s teeth. It can be used to smooth out tiny chips, reshape pointed teeth, and create a more even, pleasing smile. It’s often used alongside dental bonding to provide the best results.

Such a nice place, the office is spacious and welcoming, my kid felt relaxed here. Doctors are knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive to details, they made us feel comfortable and cared for.
My kids really look forward to their dental visits with Dr. John and his wonderful team. There isn’t one thing I would change about the people or the environment at this dental office.
