What Types of Restorative Treatments Are Available for Kids?
At our children’s restorative dental clinic in Denver, we tailor care to your child’s needs using safe, effective methods.
Tooth Colored Fillings
We use BPA-free, color-matched composite materials to restore decayed or chipped teeth with a natural look and feel. These pediatric dental repairs are durable and blend seamlessly with your child’s smile.
Pediatric Dental Crowns
Crowns may be recommended when a cavity is too large for a filling. We offer stainless steel crowns and white crowns, depending on the tooth and your child’s needs.
Tooth Extractions for Kids
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling or crown, tooth extractions for kids protect surrounding teeth and relieve pain. We perform gentle pediatric tooth extraction with local anesthesia and, when appropriate, nitrous oxide or IV sedation. Clear aftercare instructions support smooth healing and a quick return to normal routines.
Other Conservative Treatments
We use minimally invasive techniques, including SMART fillings and laser therapy for select procedures, to keep treatment comfortable and efficient.
