Cavity treatment is designed to stop tooth decay early and keep your child’s smile healthy. Addressing cavities promptly helps protect baby teeth and reduces the need for more involved treatment later. Our approach is gentle, effective, and tailored to your child’s comfort, supporting healthy chewing, speech, and overall dental development.
Tiny cavities can turn into bigger problems if left untreated. Pediatric dental fillings treat decay early by gently removing the cavity and restoring the tooth’s natural shape and strength. Tooth-colored materials help the filling blend seamlessly with your child’s smile. Our board-certified pediatric dentists carefully remove only the unhealthy portion of the tooth, preserving healthy structure. This approach keeps your child’s smile as natural as possible and helps them chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
Pediatric dental crowns are used to restore and protect baby teeth that are too damaged for a filling alone. By covering the tooth, a crown restores function, supports comfortable chewing, and helps preserve space for permanent teeth. Crowns are carefully fitted to support healthy dental development. We understand that esthetic options are important for patients of all ages. Our team is experienced with a variety of materials, including Zirconia, Pre-veneered Porcelain, and Resin-Based crowns. We are happy to discuss which option is best suited for your child’s smile.
A baby root canal, sometimes called a pulpotomy or pulpectomy, is used when a cavity or infection reaches the “heart” of a baby tooth—the nerve inside. The procedure gently removes the affected tissue to relieve discomfort and protect the surrounding area. Saving a baby tooth whenever possible helps with chewing, preserves space for adult teeth, and supports a healthy, confident smile.
When a tooth is too damaged or infected to be saved, we provide a gentle, precise extraction. Removing the tooth helps relieve pain, protect your child’s other teeth, and support overall oral health. Our pediatric dental team uses safe, child-friendly techniques to ensure a comfortable experience and promote proper healing.
Space maintainers help preserve proper spacing when a baby tooth is lost prematurely. By preventing nearby teeth from shifting, they allow permanent teeth to erupt in the correct position and support healthy jaw development. Each appliance is custom-fit and designed to be comfortable for children.
Our board-certified pediatric dentists are trained to identify and manage a wide range of oral conditions in children. Using a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach, they evaluate concerns such as developmental cysts, supernumerary (extra) teeth, abscesses, and other oral pathologies. Early identification allows for timely care that supports healthy jaw and tooth development.

Our goal is to build a foundation of confidence and trust for a lifetime of dental care for your child.

We carefully consider all factors to help select the safest and most effective option for your child. As board-certified pediatric dentists, we specialize in behavior management techniques, including Nitrous Oxide and Oral Conscious Sedation. For more extensive procedures, we partner with highly trained anesthesiologists to provide safe, convenient in-office IV sedation.
