Healthy Mouths &
Bright Smiles

At Great Grins Children’s Dentistry, we take pride in bringing quality Tucson restorative pediatric dentistry to our community. Restorative dentistry includes a variety of services.

A pediatric dentist may perform restorative procedures such as fillings, crowns, laser dentistry, and more. Tooth restoration can help keep your child’s mouth healthy and smile bright.

Our Tucson Restorative Dental Services

Composite (tooth-colored) Fillings

Tooth-colored composite fillings, also called cavity fillings, dental fillings, or tooth fillings, can help fix a patient’s cavities or repair broken, cracked, or worn-down teeth.

Dr. Lele and Dr. Wolfman remove tooth decay and then fill the area with composite material. This approach ensures a natural, long-lasting result while preserving the health of your child’s teeth. Trust our team for exceptional Tucson restorative pediatric dentistry to keep your child’s smile healthy and strong.

Silver Diamine Fluoride

Silver Diamine Fluoride, or SDF, is a topical, antimicrobial liquid used for the prevention of cavities and management of active tooth decay.

SDF is a non-invasive Tucson restorative pediatric dentistry treatment that is brushed onto a cavity to help stop the current decay, and can also help prevent new cavities from occurring.

Crowns

Dental crowns are used to to restore teeth that are significantly damaged or decayed, and to improve the appearance.

Great Grins Children’s Dentistry offers both porcelain tooth-colored crowns and Zirconia crowns as part of our Tucson restorative pediatric dentistry.

These tooth-shaped caps can be used to restore a damaged tooth to its original size, shape, and function.

Baby Root Canals

A pulpotomy, also called a baby root canal, is a procedure that a pediatric dentist may perform when a child has extensive cavities that may approach the pulp or the nerve. During the pulpotomy, the inflamed tooth pulp is removed, leaving only the healthy pulp behind. This procedure is an important aspect of Tucson restorative pediatric dentistry, helping to save the tooth and prevent future complications.

Extractions

Tooth extractions are outpatient procedures that are performed to preserve or improve one’s dental health. Teeth may need to be extracted or removed in preparation for braces, due to damage or decay, or for a variety of reasons which include infection and other medical issues. Our team at Great Grins offers expert Tucson restorative pediatric dentistry to ensure your child’s oral health remains in great condition throughout the process.

Space Maintenance

Dental space maintenance may occur when a child’s tooth has come out too soon due to an accident or decay. If your child loses a tooth too early and steps are not taken to fix the issue, it can lead to orthodontic issues later on. Retainers are used to hold the space and keep teeth from drifting which can get in the way of the permanent tooth coming in. This is an essential part of Tucson restorative pediatric dentistry, helping to ensure proper tooth alignment and a healthy smile.

Orthodontics

Orthodontics refers to a specialized form of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of teeth or jaws that are malpositioned and bite patterns that are misaligned. Orthodontists can also use dentofacial orthopedics in order to modify facial growth. Tucson restorative pediatric dentistry can address these issues for comprehensive care, ensuring your child’s dental development stays on track.

Laser Frenectomy

A frenulum is a small ridge of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth on the bottom jaw and the lip to the gums on the upper jaw. In certain situations, the frenulum may restrict proper movement of the tongue, lip, or both. During a laser frenectomy, a laser is used to release the frenulum and can provide tongue tie and lip tie relief. Tucson restorative pediatric dentistry can help address these issues, ensuring your child’s oral function is optimized.
