Restorative Care
Restoring Healthy, Confident Smiles
Even with good brushing, regular checkups, and preventive care, cavities and dental injuries can still happen.

What's Included
Our Restorative Services
Protect damaged teeth, relieve discomfort, and help your child get back to eating and smiling comfortably. Restorative care also helps preserve healthy tooth structure, support proper development, and reduce the chance of bigger dental problems later.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
Our composite dental fillings match your child’s natural tooth color, so their smile stays bright and natural-looking. They bond securely to the tooth, are mercury-free, and restore the tooth’s strength and function while protecting it from further decay.
Pediatric Crowns
When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a pediatric crown helps protect and restore it until it naturally falls out. Stainless steel crowns offer durable protection for back teeth, while tooth-colored crowns provide a natural-looking option for visible teeth.
Pulpotomy (Baby Root Canal)
When decay reaches a baby tooth’s nerve, a pulpotomy for kids removes the affected tissue and helps keep the tooth comfortable until it naturally falls out. We numb the area first, so most children feel pressure rather than pain.
More Ways We Can Treat a Cavity
A cavity doesn’t always mean your child needs a filling right away. Depending on how early we catch it, your child’s age, and what they’re comfortable with, we may have gentler options to consider.
Silver Diamine Fluoride
For some children, especially those who are very young or not quite ready for a longer treatment, silver diamine fluoride can stop a cavity from progressing without drilling or numbing. It’s a simple option that can make dental care easier for children who need a gentler approach. We’ll talk you through the pros and cons before deciding if it’s right for your child.
Watching an Early Cavity
If we catch decay very early, treatment may not be needed right away. With fluoride, good brushing at home, and regular checkups, we can sometimes monitor the area and step in only if it starts to progress. We’ll help you understand what’s happening and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your child.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not every cavity requires a crown. A stainless steel crown for a baby tooth may be recommended when decay has damaged a large portion of the tooth, after a pulpotomy, or when the tooth needs more protection than a filling can provide. For smaller cavities, a tooth-colored filling may be all your child needs. We’ll explain what we see and why a crown or filling is the better option for your child.
A pulpotomy for kids removes the irritated or infected pulp from inside a baby tooth while preserving the healthy part of the tooth. The area is numbed with local anesthetic, so your child should not feel pain during the procedure. Some mild soreness afterward is possible, but most children can return to their normal activities fairly quickly.
Baby teeth do more than help your child chew. They hold space for permanent teeth developing underneath, so removing a baby tooth too early can allow nearby teeth to shift and create alignment problems. When a tooth can be safely restored, saving it can help maintain that space until it is naturally ready to fall out.
Silver diamine fluoride for kids is a liquid treatment applied directly to a cavity to help stop decay from progressing without drilling. It can be especially useful for young children, children who have difficulty tolerating traditional treatment, or cavities that need to be stabilized. Because the treated area turns dark, particularly on the visible part of a tooth, we’ll explain whether SDF or another cavity treatment for toddlers is the better choice for your child.
The cost of white fillings for children can vary depending on the size and location of the cavity, how many teeth need treatment, and your dental insurance coverage. We’ll review the recommended treatment and your estimated out-of-pocket cost before proceeding, so you know what to expect.
The cost of a filling without insurance depends on the tooth and how extensive the cavity is. Rather than giving you a one-size-fits-all price, we’ll provide an estimate based on your child’s specific treatment needs before care begins. Call (214) 416-8700 to discuss pricing and available payment options.
Yes. We provide pediatric dental crowns in Dallas, TX, for children who need more protection than a filling can provide. Crowns may be recommended for larger cavities, weakened baby teeth, or teeth that have received a pulpotomy. Our team will explain the recommended treatment and why it is appropriate for your child.
The cost of a child's dental crown depends on the tooth being treated, the extent of the damage, the type of crown needed, and insurance coverage. We’ll review the expected cost with you before treatment so there are no surprises.
Restorations on baby teeth are designed to protect the tooth until it naturally falls out. They typically do not need to last as long as restorations on permanent teeth. During regular checkups, we’ll monitor your child’s fillings and crowns and let you know if anything needs repair, replacement, or additional care.
