RESTORING BRIGHT SMILES

Pediatric Dental Restorations in Tracy, California

Proper oral hygiene does not only prevent caries and periodontal disease but also affects our overall health and well-being.

We understand that children may sometimes experience dental issues that require restorative care. Our compassionate team of pediatric dental professionals is dedicated to restoring and preserving your child's bright smile. In this article, we'll explore the importance of pediatric dental restorations and the comprehensive range of restorative treatments we offer.

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are a common restorative treatment for addressing cavities in children. Our skilled pediatric dentists use tooth-colored composite fillings to repair damaged teeth. These fillings blend seamlessly with your child's natural tooth color, providing both aesthetic appeal and functional restoration. Composite dental fillings help prevent further decay, are non-toxic, and restore the strength and integrity of the affected tooth.

Pulpotomy

When deep cavities or dental injuries reach the inner pulp of a baby tooth, a pulpotomy may be necessary. This procedure involves removing the infected or damaged pulp while preserving the healthy portion. After cleaning and disinfecting the area, a medicated filling is placed to promote healing and protect the tooth. Pulpotomies help alleviate pain, eliminate infection, and maintain the primary tooth until it naturally falls out.

Dental Crowns

For extensively decayed or damaged teeth, dental crowns provide durable and protective restorations. Our pediatric dentists offer stainless steel crowns and tooth-colored ceramic crowns, depending on the specific needs of your child. Dental crowns restore the shape, strength, and function of the affected tooth, preventing further deterioration and allowing your child to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Space Maintainers

In cases where a baby tooth is lost prematurely, space maintainers play a crucial role in preserving proper dental alignment. These custom-made devices hold the space left by the missing tooth, preventing neighboring teeth from shifting and ensuring sufficient space for the permanent tooth to erupt properly. Space maintainers are vital for avoiding orthodontic complications and maintaining a healthy bite.

Dental Trauma Management

Accidents happen, and dental trauma can occur during childhood. Our pediatric dental office is equipped to handle dental emergencies and provide prompt and effective treatment for injuries such as fractured or knocked-out teeth. Timely intervention in dental trauma cases is crucial to minimize long-term damage and ensure optimal restoration of your child's dental health.

Sedation Dentistry

We understand that some children may experience anxiety or have difficulty sitting still during restorative procedures. Our pediatric dental office offers safe and gentle sedation options to help children remain calm and relaxed throughout their treatment. Sedation dentistry allows for comfortable and stress-free dental experiences, ensuring successful restorations with minimal discomfort.
