Our Pediatric Dentistry Services

Routine and Preventative Care

Our routine and preventative care services are designed to address children's common dental needs, such as cavities and tooth misalignment. We have the following treatments available to maintain and improve your kids’ oral health from an early age.

Fillings

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

• Amalgam fillings are made from a mixture of metals, including silver, mercury, and tin, providing a strong, long-lasting solution for cavities, particularly in back teeth.
• Resin fillings, also known as composite resins, are a versatile and aesthetically pleasing option that bonds to the tooth structure and allows for conservative and natural-looking restorations.

Extractions

When a tooth is too damaged to be repaired, we perform extractions to prevent further complications.

Crowns

Crowns are used to cover and restore teeth that have been severely damaged or decayed, providing strength and protection.  

Space Maintainers

If a child's tooth is lost prematurely, space maintainers keep the space open until the permanent tooth erupts.

Sealants

Sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to prevent cavities.

Pulpotomy

A pulpotomy is a procedure to treat tooth decay that has reached the pulp (nerve) of the tooth. It is often referred to as a "baby root canal."

Preventive Care

Regular preventive care is essential for maintaining good oral health. Our services include:

• Exam: Comprehensive dental exams to check for cavities and other issues.
• Prophy/Teeth Cleaning: We offer gentle cleanings tailored for children six and under, as well as thorough cleanings for older children to effectively remove plaque and tartar.

Kids’ Orthodontics

Are you considering getting braces for your child? You've come to the right place! Our Perfect Smile Doc team is happy to walk you through the orthodontic process so you can help your kid's smile shine.

Why Are Early Check-Ups Important?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children get their first check-up with an orthodontist around age 7. Kids have a mix of baby and permanent teeth at this age, allowing orthodontists to spot issues early.

If treatment is needed, they can advise on when treatment should begin, how long it should take, and the options used during treatment, like braces or expanders.

How Do Pediatric Orthodontic Treatments Work?

Treatment goals vary for every child. Some involve removing stubborn baby teeth so permanent ones emerge correctly. Others may need help positioning tongues or stopping thumb-sucking. Braces often come later to optimize alignment once mature teeth arrive.  Regardless, our orthodontist will recommend the best appliances for your child’s needs.

The Benefits of Orthodontics for Children

Starting orthodontic treatment for your child can set them up for a lifetime of beautiful smiles.

Some of the benefits include:

• Improved biting and chewing
• Clearer speech
• Less tooth decay and injury
