Addressing dental issues promptly through restorative treatments helps maintain your child's oral health and prevents more serious complications.
Early intervention through restorative care can eliminate pain and discomfort from cavities or damaged teeth while stopping decay from spreading to other teeth or deeper into the tooth structure.

Perhaps most importantly, restorative care helps build your child's confidence by restoring both the appearance and function of damaged teeth.
Timely treatment also plays a crucial role in your child's development. By maintaining proper spacing for permanent teeth and preserving tooth structure, restorative care helps protect speech patterns and ensures proper oral development during these important growth years.
"We understand that restorative dental care can feel overwhelming for both children and parents. Our commitment is to provide gentle, effective treatment that preserves your child's natural smile while building trust and confidence. "
"At Gateway Pediatric Dentistry, we believe every child deserves a dental home where they feel safe, understood, and cared for."
Composite Fillings: These tooth-colored fillings are ideal for repairing small to moderate cavities. Made from durable composite resin, they blend seamlessly with your child's natural teeth while effectively restoring damaged areas.
Stainless Steel Crowns: When a tooth has extensive decay or damage, a stainless steel crown provides superior protection. These durable caps are particularly effective for back teeth that need to withstand heavy chewing forces until the permanent teeth emerge.
Pulp Therapy: Also known as a "baby root canal," this treatment saves infected or severely damaged teeth by removing affected nerve tissue while preserving the healthy portion. It's typically followed by a protective crown to ensure the tooth's longevity.
White Crowns: For front teeth requiring full coverage, white crowns offer both durability and aesthetics. These natural-looking restorations are carefully matched to your child's teeth, providing a beautiful smile while protecting the damaged tooth.

Most procedures can be completed in a single visit, though complex cases may require multiple appointments.
We use local anesthetic and offer sedation options to ensure your child's comfort throughout the procedure.
Our team will provide specific care instructions to help maintain the restoration, and we'll monitor its condition during routine visits to ensure it continues to protect your child's tooth throughout its natural lifecycle.
We provide specific aftercare instructions, but most children can return to normal eating habits within a few hours.
We can often combine treatments in a single visit or create a phased treatment plan based on priority and your child's comfort level.
We can schedule a pre-treatment visit to familiarize your child with our office and team. We also recommend using positive language about the dentist, avoiding words like "hurt" or "pain," and rewarding your child's bravery.
