What We Treat

Restorative Services for Every Need

From small cavities to more complex repairs, our pediatric specialists offer the full range of restorative treatments — always with your child's comfort and long-term oral health as the priority.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

BPA-free composite resin fillings that blend seamlessly with your child's natural tooth color. No silver, no metal — just a clean, natural-looking restoration that protects and strengthens the tooth.

  • Natural appearance
  • BPA-free material
  • Bonds directly to tooth
  • Single-visit treatment

Stainless Steel Crowns

Durable, full-coverage crowns for severely decayed or broken baby teeth. Stainless steel crowns are the gold standard in pediatric dentistry, offering long-lasting protection until the tooth naturally falls out.

  • Long-lasting protection
  • Covers entire tooth
  • Prevents further decay
  • Cost-effective option

Tooth-Colored Crowns

Aesthetic ceramic or zirconia crowns for front teeth restorations. These white crowns restore function and appearance — perfect when looks matter most, especially for visible front teeth.

  • Natural white appearance
  • Strong zirconia option
  • Front tooth restoration
  • Confident smile

Dental Pulp Treatments

When decay reaches the inner pulp, we offer pulpotomies (baby root canals) and pulpectomies to save the tooth. Preserving baby teeth supports proper spacing and healthy jaw development.

  • Saves the natural tooth
  • Relieves pain
  • Supports jaw development
  • Gentle technique

Tooth Extractions

When a tooth cannot be saved, our team performs gentle, stress-free extractions. We use child-friendly language and techniques to keep your child calm, and discuss space maintenance if needed.

  • Gentle & comfortable
  • Space maintainer options
  • Anxiety-reducing approach
  • Quick recovery

Space Maintainers

After an early tooth loss, space maintainers hold the gap open so permanent teeth can come in properly. This simple appliance prevents costly orthodontic issues down the road.

  • Prevents crowding
  • Supports alignment
  • Easy to wear
  • Protects future smile

Why It Matters

Why Restorative Care Is Essential for Kids

Restoring damaged teeth isn't just cosmetic — it's a critical investment in your child's overall health, development, and confidence.

Stop Decay in Its Tracks

Restorations seal out bacteria and prevent cavities from spreading to neighboring teeth or deeper into the tooth structure.

Preserve Baby Teeth

Baby teeth are natural placeholders for permanent teeth. Keeping them healthy until they fall out naturally supports proper bite and spacing.

Relieve Pain Fast

A damaged or decayed tooth can cause significant pain. Restorative treatment eliminates the source of discomfort, often in a single visit.

Pediatric Specialists

Our doctors completed an additional 2–3 years of specialized training beyond dental school focused exclusively on children's oral health. Drs. Hughes and Sanders are board-certified pediatric specialists, and Drs. Shroff and Jolley are board-eligible.

Child-Friendly Environment

From our playful, colorful waiting room to our gentle chair-side manner and kid-approved flavors, every detail of our office is thoughtfully designed to make children feel safe, seen, and at ease — so visits become something they look forward to rather than dread.

Efficient, Same-Day Care

Most restorative treatments — including fillings, crowns, and pulp therapy — are completed in a single appointment. We respect your family's busy schedule and work efficiently so your child can get back to school, activities, and just being a kid with as little disruption as possible.

How It Works

What to Expect at Your Child's Restorative Visit

01

Comprehensive Exam

We start with a thorough examination, including digital X-rays when needed, to identify all areas of decay or damage. We explain our findings in clear, parent-friendly language.

02

Personalized Treatment Plan

Every child is different. We create a customized restorative plan that considers your child's age, the extent of damage, your preferences (tooth-colored vs. stainless steel), and budget.

03

Comfort-First Preparation

We apply topical numbing gel before any injection so your child barely feels a thing. Our team uses distraction techniques and a friendly, calm approach to reduce anxiety.

04

Gentle Restoration

Our experienced pediatric dentists work efficiently and carefully. Most fillings and crowns are placed in a single appointment, minimizing time in the chair.

05

Post-Treatment Guidance

Before you leave, we walk you through aftercare instructions, what to expect as numbing wears off, dietary recommendations, and when to schedule the next check-up.
