Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged teeth and restoring proper function and appearance. For children, restorative treatments address cavities, broken teeth, and other dental problems that can occur despite good oral hygiene. Early intervention with gentle, conservative treatments helps preserve natural tooth structure and prevents more extensive problems from developing as children grow.

Comprehensive Solutions for Dental Problems
Tooth-colored composite fillings are our preferred treatment for cavities in children's teeth. These mercury-free fillings bond directly to the tooth, requiring less removal of healthy tooth structure than traditional amalgam fillings. Composite fillings match the natural color of teeth, providing excellent aesthetics while restoring function. The procedure is comfortable and can often be completed without numbing for small cavities.
We use gentle techniques and appropriate numbing to ensure comfort during restorative procedures. For anxious children or extensive treatments, we offer sedation options including nitrous oxide. Our team specializes in keeping children comfortable throughout treatment.
Composite fillings in primary teeth typically last until the tooth naturally falls out, usually several years. Fillings in permanent teeth can last many years with proper care. We monitor all restorations at regular checkup visits.
Modern composite materials are very durable and appropriate for most situations in children's teeth. They bond directly to the tooth, often requiring less removal of healthy tooth structure than traditional amalgam fillings.
Crowns are recommended when a tooth has extensive decay, has been fractured, or when a large portion of the tooth structure has been compromised. Crowns provide complete protection and restore full function to severely damaged teeth.
In many cases, yes. We use conservative treatments like pulp therapy to save primary teeth when possible. Preserving baby teeth is important for proper chewing, speech development, and maintaining space for permanent teeth.
Regular preventive care, proper oral hygiene, fluoride treatments, dental sealants, and limiting sugary foods and drinks can significantly reduce the need for restorative treatments. Regular dental visits help catch problems early when treatment is simpler.
