Cavities are one of the most common dental issues in children and teens, yet many go untreated. This can lead to pain, infections, and long-term damage. Without proper care, decay can weaken teeth and make eating or speaking uncomfortable.

At Kids Smile, P.C., we use resin-based composite fillings to restore strength and appearance while blending naturally with your child’s teeth. Whether your child has a small cavity or more advanced decay, you’ll find gentle, effective solutions designed specifically for growing smiles.

Here’s what to expect when your child gets a dental filling:

  • Gentle Preparation – We carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth while preserving as much healthy enamel as possible.
  • Filling Placement – A resin-based composite material is applied and molded to match the shape of the tooth.
  • Curing and Bonding – A special light hardens the filling, ensuring a strong, secure bond that protects against future decay.
  • Polishing and Finishing – The composite filling is smoothed and polished so it blends naturally with the rest of the tooth.

For teeth that have lost significant enamel, we may recommend a stainless steel or zirconia crown for back teeth or a resin-based composite or zirconia crown for front teeth. These long-lasting, kid-friendly restorations protect and strengthen teeth while maintaining a natural look.

With advanced techniques, digital imaging, and a kid-friendly environment featuring TVs, DVDs, pillows, and blankets, every step of the process is comfortable for your child.
