What Is Restorative Pediatric Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on treating cavities, injuries, and other problems that affect the structure and function of a child’s teeth. Whether a baby tooth is damaged or a permanent tooth needs protection, we use safe, modern materials and age-appropriate techniques to gently restore oral health.
Restorative Dental Services We Offer
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Made from BPA-free composite resin, our fillings are strong, durable, and virtually invisible. We use them to restore small to moderate cavities without changing your child’s natural appearance.
Stainless Steel Crowns
For larger cavities or baby teeth that need added strength, stainless steel crowns offer reliable, full-tooth coverage. These crowns are especially helpful for back molars where chewing forces are highest.
Pulpotomies (Baby Root Canals)
If a baby tooth’s nerve is infected but the tooth is still needed for development or spacing, we may perform a pulpotomy — a gentle procedure that removes the infection and saves the tooth until it’s ready to fall out naturally.
Dental Bonding
For chipped, cracked, or mildly misshaped teeth, bonding with tooth-colored material restores both function and appearance quickly and comfortably.For chipped, cracked, or mildly misshaped teeth, bonding with tooth-colored material restores both function and appearance quickly and comfortably.
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is too damaged to save or needs to be removed for orthodontic reasons, we make extractions gentle and stress-free. Sedation and behavior guidance are available for anxious children.
Space Maintainers
If a baby tooth is lost early, we may place a space maintainer to keep the area open and protect proper alignment for the incoming adult tooth.

Why Restore Baby Teeth?
Even though baby teeth eventually fall out, they play a critical role in your child’s health and development. Baby teeth:
Help your child chew and speak properly
Hold space for permanent teeth
Guide jaw and facial development
Support confidence and social interaction

When decay or damage is left untreated, it can lead to pain, infection, or alignment issues later on. Restoring baby teeth now helps prevent more complex problems in the future.
Our Philosophy: Gentle, Preventive, Supportive
We treat the whole child — not just the tooth. That means:
Focusing on prevention whenever possible
Using the least invasive treatments that will still be effective
Supporting your child emotionally before, during, and after care
Keeping parents informed and involved at every step

Love how nice everyone is!!! Great area for the kids to play while they wait
My child has been going here since he was 4 and we have always had excellent service from everyone here! They always make him feel comfortable and safe.
Very helpful n friendly n checked in fast - experience was great . Kathy and Sho at the reception took care of both my kids.
Katie is amazing! My daughter was very nervous and she was able to distract her by talking to her about things that interest her and also held her hand throughout the entire process. The girls Sho and Kathy that work the front desk are very helpful and kind as well. Both my son and daughter are no longer afraid of the dentist. Thank you so much!
My children love this dentist office - Accommodating for children who are nervous. Sho is very professional and helpful at reception.

FAQs About Restorative Dentistry for Kids
Do baby teeth need fillings if they fall out eventually?
Yes — untreated decay can cause pain, infection, and harm your child’s oral development.
Are crowns safe for children?
Absolutely. Stainless steel crowns are durable, well-tolerated, and ideal for restoring baby molars.
Is a pulpotomy the same as a root canal?
It’s a child-appropriate version that removes infection from a baby tooth’s nerve while preserving the rest of the tooth.
Will my child be in pain during or after treatment?
We use gentle numbing and kid-friendly behavior techniques. Most children feel minimal discomfort and bounce back quickly.
What if my child is nervous about treatment?
We take a slow, compassionate approach and offer sedation when appropriate. We specialize in treating anxious and special needs children.
Can I stay with my child during procedures?
Yes! We welcome parent presence during most treatments.
Do fillings or crowns look unnatural?
No. We use tooth-colored fillings on visible teeth and crowns on back molars. We focus on comfort and aesthetics.
How long do fillings or crowns last?
They typically last until the baby tooth falls out. We monitor them at every visit.
Will dental work affect adult teeth?
No — in fact, it helps protect the space and guide permanent teeth into the right position.
Does insurance cover restorative care?
Most plans cover fillings, crowns, and other needed treatments. We’ll check your coverage and explain your options.
