At Pediatric Dentistry of San Angelo, we provide precise and kid-friendly dental impressions to ensure accurate results for a variety of treatments. Whether your child needs a custom mouthguard, space maintainer, or other dental appliance, our caring team makes the process quick, comfortable, and stress-free.

What Are Dental Impressions?

Dental impressions are molds of your child’s teeth and gums that help us create perfectly fitted dental appliances. Using advanced techniques, we capture an exact replica of your child’s mouth to ensure the best results for treatments like:

  • Space Maintainers
  • Mouthguards
  • Orthodontic Retainers
  • Dental Crowns or Bridges
  • Custom-Fit Trays for Fluoride Treatment
