Restorative Dentistry

For small to moderate cavities, we use composite (tooth-colored) fillings that blend in naturally with your child’s smile. These restorations are strong, esthetic, and placed with a gentle touch. Dr. B uses distraction techniques and kid-friendly language throughout the process to ensure your child feels calm and confident.

Dental crowns are ideal for restoring baby teeth that have large cavities or have undergone a pulpotomy. We use durable materials, and most crowns can be completed in one visit—making them a great choice for active little ones who need reliable protection.

When decay reaches the inner part of the tooth, a pulpotomy, often called a "baby root canal," can remove the infected portion while saving the rest of the baby tooth. This helps avoid premature tooth loss and maintains proper spacing for permanent teeth. Our pulpotomies are done with extra care, and we always discuss sedation options if your child is especially anxious or sensitive.

SDF is a non-invasive treatment that halts early cavities without drilling or shots. It works by killing bacteria and hardening the tooth surface, making it ideal for children with anxiety, medical considerations, or very early-stage decay. It’s fast, effective, and completely painless. However, it can permanently stain the tooth black, making it not ideal for visible or permanent teeth.

Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary to protect your child’s overall oral health—especially when a baby tooth is severely damaged, infected, or blocking the path of an incoming adult tooth. At The Smile Society, we make the process as smooth and gentle as possible, using kid-friendly techniques and clear communication every step of the way. Our goal is always to preserve natural teeth when we can, but when extraction is the best option, we’re here to support your family with expert care and comfort-focused solutions.
