Restorative Dentistry

Dr. Mayes and her dedicated team specialize in restorative dentistry for children, focusing on repairing damaged or decayed teeth to fully restore both function and aesthetics. We utilize a variety of proven procedures, often incorporating sedation to ensure the child's comfort throughout the treatment process.

Common restorative procedures address issues such as decay, trauma, and developmental problems. These include:

• Dental Fillings: We use tooth-colored (composite) resin fillings, which effectively treat cavities while blending seamlessly with the natural tooth.

• Crowns (Caps): For more severely damaged teeth, we offer durable stainless steel crowns. White, natural-looking zirconia crowns are also available for an aesthetic option.

• Pulp Therapy (Pulpotomy): These treatments are designed to save a tooth by addressing infections that have reached the tooth nerve.

• Dental Bonding: This technique is used to repair chipped or broken teeth, quickly restoring their appearance and integrity.

• Space Maintainers: If a primary (baby) tooth is lost prematurely, an appliance called a space maintainer is inserted to prevent surrounding teeth from shifting into the open gap, preserving space for the permanent tooth.
