Restorative Dentistry Overview
Our pediatric restorative dentistry in Gainesville repairs or replaces teeth that are affected by cavities, gum disease, or breakage. This helps children chew, speak, or smile free of pain or discomfort. While preventative care mainly focuses on keeping these conditions from ever forming in the first place, restorative dentistry is what we do to treat existing conditions to improve quality of life.

We perform a variety of restorative dentistry treatments, including:
Bite habit fixes
Tongue and lip ties
Fillings and crowns
Root canals and extractions
Orthodontic referrals
How Restorative Dentistry Works
Because there are many different conditions that require unique treatments, restorative dentistry encompasses many procedures. We approach treatment by carefully reviewing all of your child’s dental history and scans, and we guide you and your child through the process so you both feel safe and assured in your treatment.
What to Expect
While no treatments are the same between our restorative dentistry options, we first identify and diagnose the problem before acting upon it. We’ll ask you and your child questions about symptoms they are experiencing and we’ll conduct an oral exam. We’ll also order an X-ray to get an accurate picture of your child’s mouth. From there, we will develop a treatment plan for your child’s situation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry
Along with gum disease and infections, cavities can be prevented by regular and proper brushing and flossing, and routine dental cleanings. You should gently brush your child’s teeth twice a day for two minutes and floss between each tooth. Routine dental cleanings scrape away the plaque and tartar that cause cavities, and several other treatments reduce the risk of tooth decay, such as fluoride and sealants. Avoid sugary drinks and foods that increase plaque on the teeth.
Braces are actually done by an orthodontist, not a dentist. We work closely with your child’s orthodontist to make the best choices for their oral health.
