Restorative Dentistry for Children
When a tooth needs help, we choose the most conservative, durable option—explaining every step in friendly, kid-first language.
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Pediatric crowns when more coverage is needed
- Space maintainers if a tooth is lost early
Care that protects function—and confidence
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Strong, natural-looking composite repairs for small to medium cavities.
Pediatric Crowns
Full-coverage protection for larger decay—keeps the tooth working until it’s naturally replaced.
Space Maintainers
Simple appliances that preserve room for adult teeth after early tooth loss.

FAQs
What parents ask about restorative care
Why restore baby teeth?
They support speech, nutrition, and space for adult teeth. Treating decay early prevents infection and larger problems.
Will my child feel pain?
We use topical and local anesthetic, kid-first language, and can discuss nitrous or oral conscious sedation when appropriate.
Fillings vs. crowns—how do you decide?
We consider cavity size/location, your child’s age, and durability needs—then choose the least invasive option that lasts.
How long do restorations last?
With good habits, pediatric restorations can last years—often until adult teeth replace them.
What about space maintainers?
If a tooth is lost early, a simple appliance preserves room for adult teeth and helps prevent crowding.
Post-op care tips?
Soft foods until numbness fades, gentle brushing that night, and call us if discomfort persists beyond 24–48 hours.
