Ideal for primary teeth but also suitable for teeth that are permanent, our pediatric dentist offers steel dental crowns as a durable and effective solution for damage or decay. This type of crown is not only strong and long-lasting, but it has been a trusted, affordable option since first being introduced in 1950.
At Great Lakes Bay Pediatric Dentistry, we offer both tooth-colored and silver (metal) fillings to repair cavities and restore your child’s teeth. Tooth-colored fillings provide a natural look for affected front teeth, while silver fillings lend durability for back molars. Regardless of what your child receives, both options ensure your child’s smile remains healthy and vibrant.
Our pediatric dentist understands that tooth extractions can be intimidating for both children and parents. Our gentle approach prioritizes your child’s comfort and well-being, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. Whether due to decay, overcrowding, or traumatic injury, we provide compassionate care during tooth removal.
Providing a protective barrier against cavities, dental sealants are applied as a liquid and hardened (cured) to form a shield over the grooves and pits of back teeth. Sealants work to block out incoming food particles and bacteria, significantly reducing the risk of decay. This simple, non-invasive procedure only takes a few minutes to complete but the results can benefit your child for years to come.
A safe and effective sedation method, our pediatric dentist recommends laughing gas for instances where the procedure may cause your child to experience increased anxiety. Inhaled through a nose piece, laughing gas allows children to remain awake and responsive, ensuring they remain calm while receiving dental care.
