When it comes to taking care of your child's smile, we always explore all options to save and restore their teeth before considering an extraction. Our goal is to preserve their teeth and keep that smile shining bright! But if a tooth extraction is necessary, we make sure it’s the best choice for their long-term oral health. We understand the importance of your child's comfort, so we use gentle techniques and sedation options (if necessary) to ensure the process is quick and as pain-free as possible. Say goodbye to any discomfort and hello to a healthy, happy smile!

As your child grows, their baby teeth will begin to fall out to make room for their adult counterparts. However, if a baby tooth is lost too early due to an injury, decay, or other factors, it can lead to misalignment or space loss as the permanent teeth erupt. This can increase the need for orthodontic intervention down the road.

To prevent these complications, we offer space maintainers—designed to hold the necessary space for the permanent teeth to erupt at the proper time. A space maintainer can help keep your child's teeth aligned, promoting a healthy bite and reducing the likelihood of future orthodontic treatment. We're dedicated to ensuring your child’s smile stays bright and healthy for years to come.

We understand that dental visits can sometimes feel scary for kids. Some children have difficulty sitting still at the dentist. Some children experience intense anxiety at the thought of going to the dentist. And others can have sensory sensitivities that make routine dental care challenging. Sedation is one tool in our toolbox to make sure our patients feel comfortable and safe every step of their dental journey.  

Pediatric dentists are specially trained in advanced sedation techniques and work closely with a licensed pediatric anesthesiologist to ensure your child’s comfort and safety. Throughout the procedure, we closely monitor vital signs to ensure a safe and positive experience. We’re here to support your child’s comfort and well-being, every step of the way.

If your child has a dental emergency, we’re here to help. Acting quickly can make a big difference in easing their pain and ensuring the best outcome. Whether it’s a toothache, a chipped or broken tooth, or another urgent concern, don’t hesitate to reach out. If you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, give us a call—we can assess the situation, offer guidance on what to do at home, and schedule care if needed. Our goal is to provide comfort and support so your child can get back to smiling and feeling their best as soon as possible.

Your child's health and happiness are always a top priority, and we understand that dental concerns can feel overwhelming. If your little one has a damaged or decayed tooth, a pediatric dental crown may be the best way to restore their smile and protect their oral health.We offer both stainless steel and white zirconia crowns, each designed to meet the unique needs of growing smiles.

Stainless steel crowns are a strong, reliable option for back teeth, while white zirconia crowns provide a natural-looking solution for front or back teeth, blending seamlessly with your child’s smile. Both materials are safe, biocompatible, and specifically designed for children.

A well-placed crown helps preserve the tooth’s function, prevents further damage, and ensures your child can eat, speak, and smile comfortably. If you have any questions about whether a crown is the right choice for your child, we’re happy to help guide you through the process.

If your child needs a procedure that involves the gums or soft tissue, laser therapy offers a gentle and effective solution. Using advanced dental laser technology, we can perform treatments with greater precision, less discomfort, and faster healing times compared to traditional methods.

Laser therapy is commonly used for procedures such as frenectomies (to address tongue or lip ties), exposing teeth that haven’t fully emerged, and reshaping or removing excess gum tissue. Because the laser minimizes bleeding and swelling, many treatments require little to no anesthesia, making the experience easier for your child.

If you're curious about whether laser dentistry is the right option for your child, we're happy to answer your questions and guide you through the process.

Your child's unique needs are at the heart of everything we do. Our team is trained in managing various conditions, including sensory sensitivities, mobility challenges, and medical complexities, ensuring that each visit is a positive experience. With patience, understanding, and specialized techniques, we strive to make dental care accessible and stress-free for all children. We'd love to discuss how we can tailor our care to your child's specific needs – reach out to learn more about our accommodations and approach.

Seeing your child in pain due to a tooth infection or nerve damage can be difficult, but prompt and gentle care can make all the difference. Our pediatric pulp treatments are designed to relieve discomfort, stop infection from spreading, and preserve as much of the natural tooth as possible.

Depending on the extent of the damage, treatment may involve:

- Pulp capping, which protects a mildly irritated nerve and encourages healing.

- Pulpotomy, where the affected portion of the pulp is removed while keeping the healthy part intact.

- Pulpectomy, a more thorough treatment that removes infected pulp from the entire tooth to save it.

We use child-friendly techniques to ensure your little one feels safe and comfortable throughout the process. If you have any questions about whether pulp treatment is the right option for your child, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
