Our Restorative Dental Services Includes

Composite (White) Fillings

Our office only uses tooth-colored fillings after cavities have been removed. Once the decay is removed, the tooth is filled with this composite material that hardens immediately after placement.

Pulp Treatment (Pulpotomy/Baby Root Canal)

If a cavity extends to the inner chamber of the tooth, known as the dental pulp, it will gradually cause the tooth to deteriorate and become infected. A pulpotomy involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning out the space, and filling the once-infected area with a material that will help restore the tooth until it is time for it to exfoliate (fall out on its own naturally).

Dental Crowns

Crowns are used to restore heavily damaged or decayed teeth in children. Crowns completely cover the remaining tooth structure after it has been treated. They can be made of many different materials, including stainless steel, composite materials, resin, porcelain, and zirconia. We offer several different options, allowing us to choose what is best for each child and each tooth.

Extractions

A tooth that cannot be saved with restorative materials or is not allowing its permanent counterpart to erupt into the correct position may need to be removed. Before removing the tooth, the area will be numbed with local anesthesia. The tooth is then loosened and removed. Depending on the age of the child and the eruption of the permanent tooth, a space maintainer may be advised. Space maintainers help to hold the space for permanent teeth until they erupt.
