Services
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants provide a protective barrier on back teeth to prevent decay. This quick, painless procedure applies a thin plastic coating to molars' chewing surfaces. Ideal for children with developing permanent teeth, sealants help prevent cavities by sealing out food particles and bacteria. Our team ensures proper application and longevity through regular checkups.
Pediatric Cleanings
Our thorough yet gentle cleanings maintain optimal oral health while making children comfortable. Using child-friendly techniques, we remove plaque buildup and provide age-appropriate oral hygiene education. Regular cleanings every six months help prevent dental issues and establish positive dental visit routines for young patients.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options help anxious children receive necessary dental care comfortably. We offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV sedation under strict safety protocols. Dr. Jacobsen's specialized training ensures safe administration for patients requiring additional support during dental procedures.
Restorative Treatments
Our restorative services address dental issues like cavities and damaged teeth. Treatments include fillings, crowns, and root canals tailored for children's developing mouths. We prioritize preserving natural teeth while ensuring comfort and long-term oral health outcomes.
Emergency Dentistry
We provide prompt care for dental emergencies including injuries and severe toothaches. Our team handles urgent situations with specialized pediatric expertise, offering same-day appointments when needed to address pain and prevent complications.
