Services
Laser Dentistry
Laser Dentistry at Walla Walla Pediatric Dentistry uses Solea technology to perform painless procedures without anesthesia. This advanced CO2 laser treats cavities and soft tissue issues efficiently, reducing treatment time and eliminating numbness. Patients recover faster and experience less anxiety during visits.
Preventive Dentistry
Preventive Dentistry focuses on avoiding dental issues through regular checkups, cleanings, and fluoride treatments. We educate families on brushing, flossing, and dietary habits to maintain healthy teeth. Sealants and mouthguards protect against decay and sports injuries.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative Dentistry addresses tooth decay with fillings, crowns, and pulp therapy. We use tooth-colored composite materials and zirconium crowns for natural-looking results. Advanced cases may require extractions or space maintainers to preserve dental alignment.
Preventive Orthodontics
Preventive Orthodontics identifies and corrects bite issues early using space maintainers and habit appliances. We address thumb-sucking and guide permanent teeth into proper positions, reducing future orthodontic needs through collaboration with specialists.
Behavior Guidance
Behavior Guidance employs tell-show-do methods, nitrous oxide, and sedation to ease anxiety. For complex cases, we offer in-office general anesthesia administered by certified nurse anesthetists, ensuring safe and stress-free treatment for fearful or special needs patients.
