Restorative treatments for kids
  • Fillings and crowns for kids restore teeth affected by cavities or damage, helping maintain a healthy smile. Fillings repair small areas of decay, while crowns protect and strengthen more severely damaged teeth. Both treatments are safe, durable, and designed to support your child’s long-term dental health and comfort.

  • Dental extractions are sometimes necessary to remove severely decayed, damaged, or overcrowded teeth. Our gentle, child-friendly approach ensures a safe and comfortable experience. We prioritize your child’s comfort and long-term oral health, making space for proper tooth development and preventing future dental issues.

  • Deep decay can affect the soft center of the tooth called the pulp. A tooth-saving pulpotomy involves removing decay from the pulp chamber, placing filling material in the space left behind, and affixing a crown to the tooth.

  • If your child loses a baby tooth too early because of decay or trauma, we can create a dental bridge to ensure a complete smile.

  • Some children need only local anesthesia to tolerate dental treatment, and others may require the addition of laughing gas to reduce anxiety. Others, however, may need oral conscious sedation because they are more fearful or face physical or mental challenges. We can administer oral conscious sedation during all types of procedures, even when performing a simple dental exam or cleaning children’s teeth.

Preventive care for kids
  • At Smile Sonrisa Dental & Orthodontics, our dentists emphasize preventive dental care because we would much rather see your child for a routine, stress-free visit than for a series of lengthy procedures.

  • Dental sealants are a quick, painless, and effective way to protect your child’s teeth from cavities. These thin, protective coatings are applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to seal out bacteria and food particles, reducing the risk of decay. With sealants, your child can enjoy a healthier smile with long-lasting protection. Schedule a visit today to keep their teeth cavity-free!

Oral care for babies
  • The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that all children see a dentist sometime between the eruption of the first tooth, which happens around six months of age, and the child’s first birthday.

  • Our staff and dentists strive to make dental care for children comfortable and fun. We are happy to give your children a tour of the office, show them how we work, and explain the dental examination in ways they can understand so that the whole process is less scary. When your child feels relaxed and safe, we will ask permission to perform the exam, which consists of visually examining the teeth, jaws, and soft tissues of the mouth for abnormalities. Depending on the child’s age and unique oral health issues, we may also take X-rays, clean the teeth, and administer a fluoride treatment.

  • As a parent, you play a vital role in your child’s oral health, and we’re here to help! Our team provides expert guidance on proper oral hygiene, healthy eating habits, bottle use, and breaking harmful oral habits. We also educate parents on developmental milestones, dental safety, and the importance of regular checkups to ensure a lifetime of healthy smiles.
