Our Pediatric Dental Services
Checkups & Cleanings
Routine dental exams and cleanings are the foundation of healthy smiles. During your child’s checkup, we’ll assess their teeth, gums, and jaw development, looking for signs of cavities, misalignment, or other concerns. Regular visits every six months help us catch potential issues early and keep your child’s smile healthy.
Sealants
These thin, protective coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of molars, where grooves and pits can trap food and bacteria. Sealants act as a barrier, making it easier to maintain clean teeth and reducing the risk of decay by up to 80%. This quick and painless treatment is ideal for kids who are learning to brush independently.
Fluoride Treatments
Our BPA-free fluoride treatments help strengthen tooth enamel, making it more resistant to acid attacks from plaque and sugary foods. Applied during routine visits, fluoride treatments are safe, quick, and effective at preventing decay.
Composite Fillings
When cavities occur, our tooth-colored composite fillings restore your child’s smile while blending seamlessly with their natural teeth. Made from durable, biocompatible materials, composite fillings are designed to match the shade of your child’s teeth for a natural look.
Crowns
These crowns are specially designed for children, preserving the natural tooth structure and maintaining proper alignment and function. With a comfortable fit and durable design, crowns help prevent further damage while supporting your child’s oral development.
Emergency Care
Whether it’s a knocked-out tooth, sudden pain, or a chipped tooth, our team provides fast, compassionate care to address your child’s needs. We focus on relieving discomfort, preventing further damage, and restoring your child’s smile so they can get back to being a kid.
Orthodontics
Interceptive orthodontics addresses early issues like overcrowding or misalignment, while comprehensive care focuses on creating a beautifully aligned smile during the teenage years. Our airway-focused approach ensures orthodontic care contributes to healthy breathing and overall wellness.
Dental Care for Every Stage
We provide personalized care for children at every stage of development:
- Infants: Gentle assessments and guidance on oral care for your baby’s first teeth.
- Young Children: Preventive care and education to foster good habits.
