Restorative Dentistry
We are committed to treating each child with the same care, understanding, and respect that we would want for our own families. At Hello Kids Dentistry, we are more than just a dental practice – we are a part of your child's growth and development, and we take joy in watching their smiles shine brighter with each visit. Our state-of-the-art dental restorations can be used to return your child’s grin to its best state. If the function or appearance of your loved one’s smile has been altered, we can restore it with a quick and simple restorative procedure.
Tooth-colored fillings
Tooth colored fillings, also known as composite resins or filled resins, are a form of restorative kids dentistry that offers an aesthetic and healthier alternative to traditional amalgam fillings. These fillings are made from a mixture of fine glass particles, enabling them to mimic the natural color and texture of the teeth.
Pulp Therapy
Dental pulp, the innermost part of a tooth that contains nerves and blood vessels, can sometimes be damaged by trauma or decay. But fear not! With pulp therapy, we can save those affected baby teeth and avoid premature loss that could affect the child's oral development.
Tooth-colored crowns
Tooth-colored crowns are a marvel in restorative kids dentistry. They are made from a special material that matches the natural color of your child's teeth, making them almost invisible. These crowns are incredibly durable and designed to withstand the rigors of a child's daily activities like biting, chewing and grinding. They not only offer a fantastic solution for children with damaged or decayed teeth but also help in boosting their self-esteem by maintaining the natural appearance of their teeth.
Sports Mouth Guards
Sports mouthguards don’t just protect your child’s teeth from injury. Our mouthguards also greatly reduce the force that can be transmitted from the jaw to the central nervous system in the brain. Mouthguards significantly decrease the chance of your child suffering from concussions or brain damage. Sports mouthguards can also protect your child against cuts in the lips and cheeks, neck injuries, gum and soft tissue injuries, jawbone fractures, and tongue injuries.
Broken and chipped teeth
Broken or chipped teeth can occur due to a variety of reasons- a fall, a hard knock during playtime, or even biting into something hard. These instances can be quite distressing for both kids and parents. But worry not! Restorative kids dentistry is here to turn the tide. Using advanced pediatric dental treatments, we can restore your child's tooth to its original glory.
Habit Therapy
Thumb or finger sucking is no reason to immediately panic, but a visit to the dentist will help you remain aware of how the habit may be adversely affecting your child’s dental health. The American Dental Association says that most children outgrow sucking their thumb or fingers between the ages of 2 and 4. However, some kids continue their beloved habit even after they begin preschool or even kindergarten. At this point, thumb sucking could negatively affect your child’s teeth, jaws, or face shape.
