Children's Restorative Dentistry

In Sacramento

When cavities pop up, we offer gentle, kid-friendly solutions to restore and protect your child’s smile. Our white tooth-colored fillings blend in beautifully with natural enamel, while fluoride-releasing glass ionomer fillings provide extra protection by helping to strengthen teeth from the inside out. For an even more advanced option, we also offer bioactive materials like Activa—designed to not only fill the cavity but actively support the tooth’s natural healing process. Whichever material we use, your child’s comfort and long-term oral health are always our top priority.

As your child grows, so does their smile. If a baby tooth is lost too early, a space maintainer can help ensure there’s enough room for the adult tooth to come in properly—avoiding future crowding or alignment issues. We also keep an eye on your child’s dental development with early orthodontic evaluations. By identifying potential concerns early on, we can recommend simple treatments or monitor growth to set them up for a healthier, more confident smile down the road.

When it comes to restoring your child's smile, we always explore alternative treatments before considering tooth extractions. Our primary focus is to preserve and restore damaged teeth through various treatments. However, in some cases, tooth extractions become the best option to get your child's smile back on track. Rest assured, we prioritize your child's comfort and use gentle techniques and sedation options to make the extraction process quick and pain-free. Say goodbye to discomfort and hello to a bright, healthy smile!

If your child feels anxious or has difficulty sitting still during dental visits, we offer safe sedation options to help make their experience more relaxed and positive. For mild anxiety or restlessness, nitrous oxide—also known as “laughing gas”—can gently ease nerves and help your child feel calm throughout their appointment. For children who may need deeper support, we can refer to a trusted provider for in-office sedation, or to a hospital setting if general anesthesia is needed. We’ll work with you to find the best fit for your child’s needs, always prioritizing their comfort, safety, and long-term trust in dental care.

In dental emergencies involving children, acting swiftly is vital. Quick and appropriate care is essential not only for their recovery but also for alleviating their pain and discomfort. Be it a toothache, a broken or chipped tooth, or any other urgent dental issue, rest assured we are prepared to assist. Uncertain whether your child's situation qualifies as an emergency? Please don't delay in contacting us. Our experienced team is ready to evaluate the urgency, provide immediate guidance for care at home, and arrange a prompt appointment. We're dedicated to helping your child return to their joyful, worry-free self as soon as possible.

We know that keeping your child happy and healthy is what matters most—and when something goes wrong with their smile, it can be overwhelming. If your little one has a damaged or decayed tooth, a dental crown can help restore both comfort and function. Our crowns are designed to protect the tooth, prevent further damage, and let your child get back to chewing, smiling, and playing without discomfort. It's a strong, reliable solution that keeps their smile on track as they grow.
