Restorative Procedures

Most children are understandably fearful of dental restorative procedures. If our dentist in Getzville, NY determines your little one requires restorative treatment, we will explain it to him or her and also delve into why the procedure is necessary. We are mindful of younger patients’ sensitivity, nervousness and fear. Our team’s warm demeanor makes it that much easier for your child to relax and remain calm throughout a restorative dental procedure that might cause slight discomfort. However, the use of topical medications along with additional numbing medicine ensure your child does not experience significant pain. If absolutely necessary, nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, will be used to keep an especially nervous child calm during the procedure.

All in all, the restorative dental procedure is likely to last about half an hour. Dental restoration performed at our office protects and preserves the structure of the tooth to ensure it continues to function and permits ongoing oral hygiene. In particular, cavity fillings are an especially popular dental restoration performed at Just 4 Me Pediatric Dentistry’s Getzville and Buffalo offices.

Though few parents know it, kids as young as two years of age have the potential to develop a cavity. However, cavities in kids of this age are not always recognized right away, ultimately worsening the decay. Bring your child to our office for a thorough examination and we will determine if dental restoration is necessary. Additional examples of pediatric dental restorations include dental crowns and space maintainers.
