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.
Benefits of Early Restorative Care
Dr. Richard Graham
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.

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.
