Restorative Dentistry at Shaenfield Pediatric Dentistry

Dental crowns are custom-made caps that cover a damaged tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance. They are commonly used for teeth with severe decay, fractures, or after a root canal procedure.

• Benefits: Protects weak teeth, restores tooth shape, and enhances appearance.‍
• Procedure: The tooth is cleaned and shaped, and the crown is placed over it, providing full coverage.

A pulpotomy is a procedure that removes the infected pulp tissue from the crown of a tooth while preserving the healthy pulp in the root. This treatment is often performed on primary (baby) teeth to prevent the spread of infection.

• Benefits: Saves the tooth, reduces pain, and prevents infection from spreading.
• Procedure: The infected pulp is removed, and the tooth is sealed to maintain its health and function.

Tooth extractions may be necessary when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, or poses a risk to the health of surrounding teeth. Our team ensures a comfortable and safe extraction process for your child.

• Benefits: Prevents infection, eliminates pain, and preserves oral health.
• Procedure: The tooth is carefully removed using advanced techniques to minimize discomfort and ensure a smooth recovery.

Cavities are one of the most common dental issues among children. Our cavity treatments involve removing decayed portions of the tooth and filling them with materials that restore the tooth’s structure and function.

• Benefits: Prevents further decay, restores tooth integrity, and relieves pain.
• Procedure: Decayed areas are removed, and the tooth is filled with a durable material, such as composite resin or amalgam.

Dental fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by decay or cavities. We offer a variety of filling materials, including tooth-colored composites, to match the natural appearance of your child’s teeth.

• Benefits: Restores tooth strength, prevents further decay, and maintains aesthetics.
• Procedure: The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the cavity is filled with a material that bonds to the tooth.

Root canal therapy is a procedure to treat infection or inflammation inside the tooth’s root canal. This treatment helps save a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted.

• Benefits: Saves natural teeth, eliminates infection, and alleviates pain.
• Procedure: The infected pulp is removed, and the canal is cleaned and sealed to prevent further infection.
