Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) is a non-invasive treatment that helps slow or halt the progression of tooth decay. SDF does not always prevent the need for a future filling, but it can delay and potentially eliminate the need for treatment in some cases. It is a quick and simple application that is painless and easy for small children to tolerate.
Restorative Dentistry for Children

Procedures Offered
SMART restorations are a minimally invasive dental technique that utilize SDF and a bioactive filling material to restore a tooth without the need for anesthesia or traditional dentistry.
White resin fillings match your child’s natural tooth color. The cavity is removed from their tooth and the resin restoration is placed and set with a specialized curing light. These restorations are also used to repair chipped teeth due to trauma and can be used to help repair small esthetic concerns.
When a tooth has a large cavity, a crown may be recommended. The cavity is removed, and then a crown is glued over the tooth, covering the whole surface. There are a few different types of crown materials including stainless steel, composite, zirconia and polycarbonate resin.
Hall crowns are a non-invasive way to treat decayed primary teeth without anesthesia. A stainless steel crown is placed over the tooth to seal and stop decay, offering a quick and effective solution with minimal discomfort.
Perfect for repairing chipped or misshaped teeth, cosmetic bonding uses tooth-colored materials to restore your child’s smile seamlessly.
This minimally invasive procedure effectively removes small discolorations and surface stains, revealing a cleaner, brighter smile.
A minimally invasive dental treatment that stops early tooth decay and improves white spot lesions. It uses a resin to seal affected enamel without drilling or removing healthy tooth structure, offering a conservative and aesthetic solution.
Pulp treatment is used when the cavity has progressed into the nerve of your child’s tooth. When a cavity reaches the nerve, it can lead to pain and infection. Pulp treatment removes the infected or damaged nerve from a tooth and replaces it with MTA (a bioactive and biocompatible material) Then a filling or crown is placed, restoring form and function to your child’s smile.
Most teeth can be saved with our restorative techniques, but sometimes removal of your child’s tooth is necessary to restore their mouth to optimal health or for orthodontic reasons. We offer gentle extractions here in our office for our patients.
