Dental Restorations
Dental Restorations for Kids
The type of dental restorations we use most frequently are tooth-colored fillings and crowns. Both methods can protect and repair your child’s teeth.
Fillings
Fillings are typically used as a remedy for tooth decay. Some children are prone to cavities, which can lead to toothaches and other dental problems. Our pediatric dentists repair your child’s tooth by using a tooth-colored filling to restore the affected area.
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap, which is bonded to the tooth to restore the tooth’s appearance, shape and function. In situations where a dental filling may cause additional damage or your child has severely cracked/damaged a tooth, a dental crown may be a good option for protecting your little one’s smile.
