Our Comprehensive Pediatric Dentistry Services

Routine and Preventative Care

We provide regular check-ups and treatments to keep your child's teeth and gums healthy. These services are important for preventing dental issues and maintaining optimal oral health.

Fillings

We offer different types of fillings to restore teeth affected by decay:

• Amalgam Fillings: These fillings are durable and effective for restoring molars. Made of silver, copper, and other metals, they are silver-colored and can withstand chewing pressure, making them ideal for back teeth.
• Resin fillings: Also known as composite fillings, these fillings are a tooth-colored option that bonds closely to the tooth, providing a natural-looking and hard-wearing option for repairing cavities and minor dental damage.

Extractions

When a tooth is too damaged to be repaired, extractions prevent further complications and maintain oral health. Our team ensures the procedure is as comfortable as possible for your child, using the latest techniques and sedation options if necessary.

Crowns

Crowns restore severely damaged or decayed teeth, strengthening and protecting long-term oral health. Pediatric crowns are usually made of stainless steel or ceramic to offer durability and a natural appearance.

Space Maintainers

Space maintainers keep the gap open when a child's tooth is lost prematurely, allowing permanent teeth to erupt properly. These devices are crucial in preventing misalignment and overcrowding, which can lead to more significant issues later on.

Sealants

Sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to stop cavities and decay. This simple and painless procedure is highly effective in keeping teeth cavity-free, especially in children who are still developing good brushing habits.

Pulpotomy

A pulpotomy, often called a "baby root canal," treats tooth decay that has reached the pulp (nerve) of the tooth. The procedure involves removing the infected pulp, disinfecting the area, and sealing it to prevent further infection, preserving the tooth until it naturally falls out.

Braces

Braces are orthodontic devices composed of metal or ceramic brackets and wires that gradually straighten and align teeth. By applying continuous pressure, they correct misalignment, improve your child’s bite, and enhance their dental health over time.

Preventive Care

Our preventive services include:

• Exams: Comprehensive dental exams to check for cavities, gum disease, and other issues. They also include educational components to teach children about proper oral hygiene.
• Prophy/Cleaning:

• Six and Under: Gentle cleanings tailored for younger children. Our team uses a soft touch and friendly approach to make the experience enjoyable and stress-free.
• Six and Over: Thorough cleanings for older children to remove plaque and tartar, prevent cavities and gum disease, and ensure long-term oral health.

The Benefits of Orthodontics for Children

Orthodontic treatment offers numerous benefits for children:

• Improved Biting and Chewing: Properly aligned teeth function better, making it easier for children to bite and chew their food.
• Clearer Speech: Correcting misaligned teeth and jaws can improve speech clarity and help children communicate more effectively.
• Reduced Tooth Decay and Injury: Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Proper alignment also prevents further tooth damage from accidents or sports injuries.
• Boosted Confidence: A beautiful smile can significantly enhance a child's self-esteem, positively impacting their social interactions and well-being.
• Better Facial Proportions and Harmony: Orthodontic treatment can improve the face's appearance by correcting jaw and teeth alignment.
