When cavities are large and/or into the nerve, a stainless steel crown may be needed to save and protect the teeth.
With new technologies, comes better esthetics. We offer the new technology of posterior bioflex crowns and anterior zirconia crowns. These can be used to protect primary teeth instead of silver crowns in most situations.
White resin composites, also known as 'white fillings', are a great restoration for front teeth and small cavities in the back.
When cavities reach the nerve, a special procedure know as pulpotomy or pulpectomy may need to be completed in order to save the teeth.
When primary teeth are removed prematurely due to an infection or trauma, a small appliance may need to be placed in order to hold the space for the adult tooth erupting in the future.
When primary teeth are unrestorable and/or infected, they may need to be removed in order to prevent the spread of infection in the mouth.
