Services
Fillings
Our tooth-colored resin composite fillings restore decayed teeth while maintaining natural aesthetics. We carefully remove damaged tissue and reshape teeth to preserve structure and function. This treatment prevents further decay progression while ensuring comfortable chewing for young patients.
Crowns
Pediatric crowns restore severely damaged or decayed baby teeth that cannot support fillings. We use durable materials to protect remaining tooth structure while maintaining natural appearance and function. This treatment preserves space for permanent teeth development.
Pulp Therapy
Pulp therapy addresses internal tooth damage through pulpotomies and pulpectomies. We remove infected nerve tissue while preserving tooth vitality when possible. This procedure relieves pain and maintains dental function until natural tooth loss occurs.
Extractions
We perform gentle extractions when necessary for infection control or dental development. Our approach prioritizes patient comfort while explaining each step to reduce anxiety. This treatment creates space for proper permanent tooth eruption.
Space Maintenance
Custom-fitted space maintainers preserve proper tooth alignment after premature baby tooth loss. These appliances prevent adjacent teeth from shifting, ensuring adequate space for permanent teeth eruption and reducing future orthodontic needs.
