At Pediatric Dental Center, ensuring the health and integrity of your child’s teeth is our top priority. Dental restorations play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy smile, especially when dealing with issues like broken, cracked, or chipped teeth. Here’s a closer look at when dental restorations may be necessary and the treatments we offer to restore your child’s dental health.
When Might a Dental Restoration Be Necessary?
Broken Teeth: Children’s active lifestyles can lead to accidents causing broken teeth. A dental restoration such as a crown or bonding can repair the damage, restoring both function and appearance.
Cracked Teeth: Cracks in teeth can result from biting down on hard foods or trauma. Dental restorations like fillings, crowns, or veneers seal cracks, preventing bacteria from entering and protecting the tooth from further damage.
Chipped Teeth: Common in children, chipped teeth can be uncomfortable and lead to further wear. Depending on the size and location of the chip, bonding or veneers can smooth the tooth, restoring its appearance and function.
Cavities and Decay: Despite good oral hygiene, children can develop cavities needing fillings to restore tooth health and prevent further decay.
Pediatric Dental Restorations We Offer
Composite Fillings: These match the tooth’s color and are used for conservative treatments. In cases of severe decay, stainless steel crowns may be necessary, discussed thoroughly with our dental team.
Crowns: Stainless steel crowns are ideal when decay is extensive or affects multiple tooth surfaces, providing durable restoration.
Tooth Extractions: Done as a last resort due to disease or trauma, extractions may also be needed for orthodontic reasons. Space maintainers can be used to preserve room for permanent teeth.
Space Maintainers: Custom-made appliances that preserve space after premature tooth loss, crucial for guiding permanent teeth into place and preventing orthodontic issues.
