Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a lifelike “cap” that’s designed to cover and protect an existing tooth. There are several situations where a new crown could be the right choice for your child’s smile, including the following:

  • Advanced tooth decay that can’t be treated with a tooth-colored filling.
  • A significant injury to the tooth structure.
  • Deformities/cosmetic flaws.
  • Restoring a tooth that’s been treated with root canal therapy.

At Growing Smiles, we’re glad to help our young patients maintain strong, confident teeth. That’s why our dentists primarily offer tooth-colored restorations that preserve a beautifully natural look while providing much-needed stability and function.

One-Visit Dental Restorations

The wait between appointments for a new, permanent dental restoration can be excruciating, especially for children who are unable to cope with the frustration and discomfort of dental injuries/decay as well as adults can. Thankfully, our dentists can offer one-visit restorations for a smoother, more convenient dental care experience that benefits our young patients and their parents alike. Your little one will walk out of our office the same day with an improved smile that looks and feels better than ever!

Tooth-Colored Fillings

A tooth-colored filling can be used to repair a small cavity in just one appointment. We start by removing the decayed enamel, and then we fill the space with a composite resin material that is the same shade as your child’s teeth. This results in a restoration that perfectly blends and won’t be noticed.
