Services
Dental Crowns
Pediatric dental crowns protect damaged or decayed primary teeth until permanent teeth emerge. We offer stainless steel crowns for back teeth and tooth-colored composite resin crowns for front teeth. These restorations maintain proper spacing for permanent teeth while preventing further decay and infection.
Dental Fillings
We use tooth-colored composite fillings to treat cavities in children's primary teeth. This minimally invasive procedure repairs cracked, disfigured, or decayed teeth while preserving natural tooth structure. Fillings help maintain proper dental development and prevent more extensive treatments.
Dental Sealants
Protective sealants are applied to permanent molars to prevent decay in hard-to-clean grooves. This quick, painless procedure creates a barrier against food particles and bacteria. Sealants typically last several years and are monitored during regular checkups.
Infant Dental Exams
We recommend a child's first dental visit by age one or when teeth begin emerging. These exams monitor development, address parental concerns, and establish good oral hygiene habits. Early intervention prevents future dental problems and builds positive dental experiences.
Pediatric Sedation Dentistry
Safe sedation options help anxious children receive necessary dental care comfortably. We use proven techniques to ensure children remain relaxed during procedures while maintaining their safety and well-being throughout treatment.
