Keeping Your Child's Smile Healthy

Pediatric Dental Fillings & Crowns in East Dallas, TX

Treatment for Cavities and Other Dental Concerns

At Lakewood Children’s Dentistry & Orthodontics in East Dallas, TX, we understand that despite the best efforts in preventive care, children may occasionally need restorative dental treatments. Our restorative care is designed to repair or restore your child’s teeth to their optimal health and functionality, using treatments that are gentle, effective, and tailored to meet the unique needs of young patients.

Our Restorative Dental Services for Children

Children’s Dental Fillings: Cavities are common in children, but with tooth-colored fillings, we can restore decayed teeth seamlessly. Our fillings are safe, durable, and made to match the natural color of your child’s teeth, ensuring a natural look and feel.
Pediatric Dental Crowns: When a tooth is extensively decayed or damaged and cannot support a filling, a crown may be necessary. We offer pediatric crowns that are designed specifically for children. These crowns restore the functionality of the teeth while also providing a natural appearance.
Pulp Therapy: Also known as a “baby root canal,” pulp therapy is used to treat the nerve of the tooth that has been infected or injured. This procedure can save a severely damaged or decayed tooth from extraction and preserve it until the natural exfoliation time.
Children’s Tooth Extractions: While we make every effort to save a child’s natural tooth, sometimes an extraction is necessary to protect their overall dental health. Whether due to severe decay, infection, or for orthodontic reasons, our team performs extractions with the utmost care and compassion, ensuring comfort throughout the process.
Space Maintainers: If your child loses a tooth prematurely, a space maintainer may be placed to hold the spot open until the permanent tooth erupts. This appliance helps prevent other teeth from shifting into the empty space, which could cause problems with alignment in the future.

Compassionate, Child-Friendly Restorative Dental Care

We understand that having your child undergo restorative dental treatments can cause worry and anxiety, which is why our team takes extra care to ensure that every visit is as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

We work closely with you to create a treatment plan that suits the best interests of your child’s dental health and overall well-being. We’re committed to making informed decisions together, ensuring that you are fully aware of the best options available for your child’s dental care. We use child-friendly language to explain treatments to them and employ techniques that minimize discomfort. Our office also offers sedation options for children who may feel anxious about their dental procedures, ensuring a calm and pain-free experience.

Following any restorative treatment, we emphasize the importance of ongoing preventive care to avoid further dental issues. Our team will provide your child and you with aftercare instructions and tips on maintaining good oral hygiene at home.

They are Awesome! They explain everything before doing any treatment and how much it will be. They were patient and gentle with my son’s teeth filling.

Very friendly and kind staff! The dentist was great as well! Great first experience.

Great experience for my son’s first dentist appointment!

They were very sociable and excited to see my twin boys. They were attentive and answered all concerns I had and reassured me with the oral health.
