Restorative Dentistry

Healthy baby teeth play an important role in your child’s growth and oral development. They guide permanent teeth into position and support healthy chewing and speech. When cavities, trauma, or tooth decay affect these teeth, timely restorative dental care prevents pain and further damage.

Our approach combines comfort, education, and positive communication, so your child feels relaxed throughout every visit and develops a lifelong trust in dental care.

Our composite fillings restore teeth that have been damaged by decay or minor fractures. These tooth-colored materials blend naturally with your child’s teeth, preserving both strength and appearance. Every restorative procedure is performed with precision and care to maintain your child’s comfort and protect the tooth’s structure.

When decay reaches the nerve center of a baby tooth, a baby root canal—also called pulp therapy — can relieve pain and save the tooth. This simple, comfortable restorative treatment removes infection while maintaining the tooth’s function and supporting healthy oral development. Dr. Okoh explains each step clearly so children and parents feel calm and informed.

If a tooth is lost early due to premature tooth loss, injury, or extraction, a space maintainer keeps the surrounding teeth in position until the permanent tooth erupts. This small device prevents shifting that could lead to bite or spacing problems later. It’s an easy, effective way to protect your child’s dental health and overall oral health.

Thumb-sucking and tongue-thrusting can cause orthodontic issues and changes to bite alignment. A custom habit appliance gently helps your child break the habit while guiding proper oral development. Our team provides encouragement and tips so you can support your child every step of the way at home.
